World Vegan Day falls on November 1 and celebrates a cruelty-free lifestyle and diet. Vegans abstain from meat, fish, eggs, dairy and animal products like honey and leather while vegetarians follow a plant-based diet which excludes meat and fish.
While this lifestyle choice isn’t for everyone, there are a growing number of people choosing to live vegan. Luckily, Pasadena has a diverse dining scene that can accommodate any meal preference. Celebrate the vegans in your life or treat yourself out to a plant-based meal on November.
