Corona effect: A vigorous campaign of Vignism

The magnitude of the Corona crisis has seen many changes in society. One such major change is seen in the shift in people's eating habits. Many non-vegetarians in the western world, from countries like China and Japan, have now turned their backs on non-vegetarian food and made vegetarianism their mantra. So on the other hand many vegetarians are now becoming ‘vegan’.

When it comes to food, we usually divide it into two parts, one vegetarian and the other non-vegetarian. But for a long time now, a third class has emerged in terms of diet. This class is wagon. However, very few people are unaware of the wagon now. In fact, this class of people is one step ahead of vegetarians. Vegetarians freely consume direct or indirect animal foods such as milk, ghee, honey, butter, ice cream.

While vegans don’t even eat such things. And now there is a class of wagons that do not even use cosmetics or soaps made using leather, fur, silk, wool and animals in addition to such foods, Hollywood celebrities like Alicia Silverstone, Beyonce Chris Martin, Nita Hollywood actors like Portman, Pamela Anderson and Toby Meguri are on the list of such wagons.

They say that animal substances produce toxic elements in our body. While plant-based diets are rich in minerals, all kinds of vitamins and antioxidants. This type of diet lowers cholesterol in our body. People who follow the vegan concept rarely have to go through digestive problems. It does not harm the heart in any way. Vegan diets are more nutritious because they include only fruits, vegetables, whole grains and unprocessed foods.

Experts say that the vegan concept uses vegetable oil instead of ghee and vegetable margarine or oil instead of butter.

Tofu, bananas, apple sauce, pumpkin, dried black grapes and boiled mashed potatoes are useful to get the essence from eggs.

Milk is replaced by almond, coconut or soy milk which provides a good alternative to the nutrients found in milk.

Vegan people take fruit juices, candies or gola and slush when they want to eat ice cream.

The funny thing is that now a dating website has also been launched for those who adhere to the wagon concept. If you want to be a vegan but you can't find a company then this website will do your job. Due to the small number of people who adopt this concept, those who strictly follow it also use this website to find a partner.

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Mileped's Wagon were recently married. When actress Anne Hathaway married jewelry designer Adam Schulman, the whole meal at her reception was a vegan. Importantly, the tight wagon bride prefers to wear a rich-looking cotton or synthetic silk dress instead of a silk dress.

The word 'vegan' came into the limelight when Mallika Sherawat, considered a sex bomb by Bollywood, recently declared herself a 'vegan' in India. However, the number of people adopting this method of diet is increasing rapidly. However, the diet has come under discussion again recently when another Bollywood actress and international fashionista Sonam Kapoor announced her decision to become a 'vegan'. Today we also know what is a wagon?

Experts say that vegan is a type of diet in which the person gives up animal products completely. In addition to milk, it eliminates all milk products such as yogurt, cottage cheese, fragrant yogurt, buttermilk, cheese, chocolate, shrikhand or other sweets made from milk and ice cream. This is what vegetarians are talking about. Carnivores give up all kinds of carnivores in this diet.

Apart from this, vegans also give up fatty and oily foods like omega supplements like ghee, margarine, dairy cream, cod liver oil. In addition, foods containing gelatin such as mayonnaise, honey, marshmallows are also considered taboo for vegans. They use only food items like cereals, millets, sorghum, beans, lentils, vegetables, fruits, vegetable ghee, vegetable oil (mustard oil, cotton seed oil, flax seed oil and canola oil), copra, copra milk.

In such a situation, it happens to us that if we stop taking so many foods that are eaten in our daily diet, what should we eat? And what are the benefits of being a wagon?

In response, experts say that this diet is best for those who want to lose weight and stay healthy, to get rid of diseases like diabetes. If you have a habit of drinking tea, you can take green tea instead of regular black milk tea.

Black coffee is also a good option. The milkshake can be replaced with lemon juice, coconut water, copra milk or other fruit juices. Also, vegetable ghee and oil are not banned in the daily diet. So cooking can be made in it. Apart from this, nutritious food like fruits, green salads, dried fruits etc. gives you nutrition from milk or milk products. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person.

They further state that in the early stages this diet seems a bit difficult. But he likes to stick around when it comes to his health results.

The campaign of Vignism, which started on a very small scale a decade ago, has now turned into a movement. People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is a world-renowned animal welfare organization. According to the Indian branch of Pita, 10 years ago, there were about 5,000 wigs in India. Today, their number has reached two lakh.

Due to the propaganda of organizations like PITA (India), the youth in particular are attracted to Vignism. The youths now also refuse to take Panchamrut at the hands of the priest in the temple. Because it contains both milk and yogurt. Satyanarayana's prasad is also vajraya for Vigan people. These people are one step ahead of vegetarians. So we can call them ultra-strict vegetarians.

Mumbai-based assistant film director Ritika Ramesh (2) is one such wigan. She goes to worship Satyanarayana but never takes Panchamrut or Prasad. Ritika also does not take nonveg food or dairy products. He has also stopped wearing Kanjivaram silk sari and leather shoes. That's why about 3,000 silkworms are killed to make a silk sari, and leather boots are made from animal skins. Hrithika buys only cosmetics that do not use milk, honey or lanolin at all.

Just a few years ago there were weeping wigs in India. Being a wigan is like swimming in this country. Because milk and milk products have been a part of their daily diet for Indians for centuries. Manuj Chandra, founder of Kranti, a pro-vegan organization fighting for animal rights, says having a vegan in India is a lot of social inconvenience.

Now, however, the tide is turning. Wiggins like Ritika are now turning their passion into a vacation (business). Ritika runs a vegan bakery, where she makes specialty cakes, cookies and bread. Hrithika's experience says that the demand for vegan food is increasing.

Since Hrithika was already an animal lover, she changed her eating habits. She volunteered at an animal welfare organization and fed stray dogs. Coincidentally, last year she attended a documentary film show hosted by the group Sharan, which promotes Vignism in Puducherry. The documentary depicts how cows are given drugs in dairies and used as a milking machine. Hrithika, shocked to see this, gave up dairy products.

A 9-year-old housewife living in Mumbai says that I used to be overweight. And was rapidly increasing. I changed my daily diet a little too much. But did not get the expected result. Then a friend of mine advised me to become a wagon. There was no harm in trying it on me. I decided to become a wagon with the thought, 'It's okay if I have to, otherwise I'll give up this experiment.' I also had a bit of trouble in the early stages. But after a while I started to feel more refreshed and energetic. So I decided to continue this diet for a little longer. And to my surprise my weight also dropped. And now I'm used to the vegan diet. As a result I have decided to stick to it forever.

Something similar happened to a 6-year-old housewife suffering from diabetes. “I was shocked when I was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and thyroid five years ago,” he says. And I wanted to get rid of these diseases as fast as I could. So I decided to become a wagon. And in just three weeks, I overcame my diabetes. However, he warns that it is best not to overdo the dishes that are included in the wagon to satisfy the taste buds. Such as sliced ​​fried potatoes, puri, potato heads etc.

It is easier to be a wig today in India than it was a decade ago. That's because vegan food is now available in India, just like in the West. There is a Wigan group in Mumbai. According to its coordinator Rupa Shah, three members of the group have started a vegan food business in the city.

It's not just small entrepreneurs who are starting animal-friendly businesses. Big companies are also seeing money in the wigan market. Bata now sells leather-free shoes, while Reebok and Godizine make leather-free wallets. Similarly, Wagon Shake is now on the menu of Coffee Chain Cafe Coffee. On the other hand, the shelves of supermarkets are lined with vegan chocolates and biscuits. In addition, vegan cosmetics such as vegan face masks, soaps and bubble baths are also available in the market. In short, vegan activism is gaining momentum in India. An organization called Sharan in Puducherry trains entrepreneurs to start a vegan business and chefs to cook vegan dishes.

In fact, vegan is not the only diet. Rather there is a kind of non-violence and environmental love. Carnivores automatically stop killing animals (their sufficiency) when they become vegan. They don’t even use things made from animal skins. Needless to say, everything from the smallest creatures created by nature to giant animals are linked to the environment. And when humans kill them, the link is broken, which is ultimately human.
