Throughout the 20th century, the vegan movement slowly gained momentum. In the 1960s and 1970s, a number of influential books, such as Frances Moore Lappé's "Diet for a Small Planet" and Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation," were published that helped to bring the idea of veganism to a wider audience. The environmental and health benefits of a plant-based diet also began to receive more attention in the scientific community during this time. In recent years, veganism has experienced a rapid increase in popularity. Many high-profile celebrities and athletes have adopted a vegan diet, and plant-based options have become more widely available in restaurants and grocery stores. Additionally, the growth of social media has allowed vegan activists to more easily share information and connect with one another, further fueling the movement. Despite this growth, veganism is still a minority lifestyle choice, but the number of vegans is increasing every year. Today, veganism can be considered as a mainstream lifestyle choice and is being adopted by many people all around the world.
