Vegan Markets UK brings Sheffield the very best in vegan drinks, food, cosmetics, clothes and more created by ethical, sustainable and innovative companies.
At the heart of the City Centre, The Moor held up to 50 vegan stalls, serving a variety of products to taste and buy, from burgers and cakes to accessories and clothes.
It was sponsored by NattyRoots who create delicious vegan juices and drinks in unique flavours such as nut punch, a creamy milk drink that is dairy free.
Many vegan companies across UK gathered to advocate their products, informing the public about the benefits of vegan, cruelty free items. Huns Vegan brought back their MexiHun handmade chickhun fillet burger with their brand new side. Others include, Soulcheeze, a company which do a range of vegan cheeses including camembert, brie, mozzarella and parmesan.
Steve Rodgers, 38, who visited the event said: “Amazing stalls with so much on offer, bringing vegan food to those who have ever wondered what vegans eat and try for themselves. Can't wait for the next one, it was well done all round.”
The products sold from the stall holders had given many positive insights for the public into the health benefits of veganism and the positive results it can have in your lifestyle.
Ari Solomon, Founder of Veganista.co and the host of the VeganAri show podcast said: “I think it amazing to see the world realise and explore vegan food and cosmetics. The health benefits, mentally and physically has given many positive results for a lot of people. I have seen my own body and mental health change since I have become vegan. My lifestyle is very much different now, for the better I’d say the least.”
Lucy Coughlan, 21, studying at Sheffield Hallam University who is a vegan expressed her views on how veganism had changed her lifestyle, first inspired by this Vegan Market.
She said: “Being vegan has helped me in a physical sense because I feel like I have more energy and I have so much fibre in my diet. Since visiting the stall, I have been much more conscious about the products I buy and where they come from and how much the waste humans produce impacts the planet.”
Oxford Martin School researchers have found that if there is a global switch to diets and people turned eat fruits and vegetables, it could save up to eight million lives by 2050, lead to healthcare-related savings, avoid climate damages and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two thirds.
