Vegetarianism is growing in popularity in a lot of countries. And now, South Africa is one of them. Today, more and more South Africans are experimenting with the vegetarian way of life by cutting all meat out of their diet. Others are exploring veganism. Vegans are similar to vegetarians, but they avoid all animal-based products, including milk and eggs. Some vegans do not eat honey. A Google Trends report puts South Africa at 14th around the world in searches for the word "vegan," the only African nation to be listed so high. There is no official count of how many vegans there are in South Africa. But the interest has led to the birth of vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Johannesburg, the nation's economic center. And this year, Africa's first big vegan and plant-based festival launches in Cape Town. The Vegan & Plant Powered Show takes place at the end of May.
