Plant-Based High- Protein Cookbook: A Complete Vegan Cookbook With Quick and Easy High- Protein Recipes For Bodybuilders (1A)

The origins of vegetarianism date back to ancient times. But the term Vegan was first used in the 40s by Donald Watson, co-founder of the Vegan Society, to describe a lifestyle doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals.

The following decades saw substantial growth in the industrialization of food production and an increase in the nature of food. We seemed to move from a "garden to plate" life to a 'factory to plate". Food came out of convenient packets, which we threw away after eating the unhealthy contents, resulting in bad health for us and garbage and gasses for the planet.

By the 70s attitudes to health followed a trend toward a more natural lifestyle. Cultures blended many ideas from the East, and food production in western countries came under scrutiny. Along with a movement towards more compassionate living, people started to become critical of meat-eating and the way animals are treated when they are bred for food.
