Glangevlin woman encourages public to try vegan diet

A Glangevlin woman is encouraging the public to consider adopting a vegan diet.

The number of people eating solely a vegan diet has almost quadrupled in the last decade according to new figures.

A Vegan diet relies on plant based foods, avoiding foods that come from animals including dairy and eggs.

Speaking on the Joe Finnegan Show this morning, Joan Emin from Glangevlin, who's been vegan for over 50 years, says animal welfare concerns are turning more and more people to the diet.
