Dairy Giant ‘Lactalis Canada’ To Go Permanently Plant-Based

French dairy giant Lactalis has announced that it will be shutting down all dairy products in its Canadian facility starting from September 20th. This huge shift comes as a response to consumers’ demands for saying no to animal cruelty and choosing plant-based as a lifestyle.

While the dairy market has been witnessing a subsequent decline in demand and production – thanks to the increased awareness of what goes on behind the scenes in these facilities – Canada is making waves as one of the most prominent countries at the forefront of saying no to animal cruelty.

Nestled in the town of Sudbury in Canada, Lactalis believes the “long-term volume decline” and “increased costs in the fluid milk market in Ontario” had led them to this decision of bringing a halt to manufacturing. The rising surge of healthier milk alternatives in the region has also pushed this decision ahead.

However, this is just another feather in the brand’s conscious hat – they are already well-known for their Sensational Soy and Lactantia Margarine which are two of the leading plant-based and vegan products in the region today.

Established in Vancouver, Canada, the Yoga Health Expo celebrates the joys of good well-being through a holistic approach to the Yogic way of life including Yoga, Veganism, and Vegetarianism in our lifestyle. The celebration shall welcome famous yoga teachers Vancouver, interactive yoga classes Vancouver and a platform for vegan products and vegan food Vancouver.

Curating A Plant-Based Diet For Your Toddler

Health truly is wealth, and the earlier we start investing the better. If you have been wondering about guiding your little one to a plant-based or vegan diet from an early age, fret not – here are all the answers you wanted to your initial questions.

When it comes to plant-based vegan diets, many would fear going cold turkey on animal-based products. However, it is good to note toddlers don’t have to immediately do that. A good plant-based diet for kids constitutes the majority of it being whole, plant-based sources in 0lant based diet for toddlers their daily diet. As long as they’re getting the right nutrition (calories, proteins, and micronutrients), no vegan or plant-based diet is inapt for toddlers.

In fact, plant-based diets are known for reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, healthy weight management, strong immunity, and better brain health! Here are three ways your kid can ease their way into healthy vegan eating:

Pay attention to proteins: Some parents might be wary of their kids not eating enough protein, but plant-based sources are more than nutritious to tick off your growing kids’ protein needs. Make sure to include beans, nuts, quinoa, cauliflower, and soy and its products to increase their daily nutritional value.
Allow them to experiment for themselves: Instead of sticking to a rigid food plan, allow your little one’s space to get creative and choose their choice of food for themselves. If they’re not fond of a certain green item, let them say no and pick alternatives of their choice. It is especially important to be mindful with picky eaters to help them build a healthy relationship with their diet in the long run.
Note the must-haves: Some of the must-include food items would include kale, broccoli, soy milk, hummus, potatoes, lentils, seeds, chickpeas, tofu, and dried fruits. These make up the foundation of your kid’s plant-based lifestyle, so make sure they’re eating this plenty.

Remember: It is not about restricting but making healthy eating a lifestyle choice for a better future for your kids.

Clean and Green: Rise of The Vegan Beauty Industry

Projected to reach $21.4 billion by 2027, the vegan beauty market has been considered a niche. Today, our vanity shelves are stocked with cruelty-free labels – thanks to the rising awareness and demand for brand values. Here is how and why the beauty industry is slowly turning to non-animal-based products.

While the clean beauty notion has been around for years, it was truly during the pandemic that consumers turned inwards and began to seek brands that share the same values as them. In a world battling climate change, excessive pollution, and a highly sedentary lifestyle, consumers today hold themselves highly accountable for staying aware of what goes into their favourite products, and eventually on their skin.

WHAT MAKES BEAUTY “VEGAN”?

Much like the vegan diet suggests, vegan beauty is that containing no products derived from animals. The terms cruelty-free and vegan often go hand-in-hand, but it is to note they can’t be interchangeable. Where vegan signifies no animal products have been used in production, cruelty-free denotes the same product has not been tested on any animals.

(Fun fact: the first vegan beauty product can be traced back to 1990 when luxe beauty brand Estee Lauder decided to omit animal products in its formulations.)

Honey, gelatin, glycerin, and retinol are some common ingredients omitted from the vegan beauty shelf. Plant-based alternatives are taking over animal byproducts, and where they don’t, research is doing a commendable job of producing these eco-friendly counterparts.

WHY IS VEGAN BEAUTY NEEDED?

It is subtle for all skin types. Vegan products are well known for being less aggravating on the skin with more efficiency.
It is eco-friendly. By reducing the strain on its environment, the vegan beauty industry directly helps conserve the crippling environment with less greenhouse gas emissions.
Supports animal welfare. Lest we say more?

You can take a walk through any major beauty section and be delighted to find not only vegan but plant-based and traditional beauty ingredients in their collections. Where science has its own place in the industry, today the brand value lies in non-animal-based and byproduct formulations. This rising concern for the conservation of the environment is no longer gone unseen.

Beauty giants such as Target, Sephora, and Ulta Beauty are all compliant with this new age of beauty and makeup. Further brands like The Ordinary, Kylie Cosmetics, Milk Makeup, E.L.F Cosmetics, Pai Skincare, Cake Beauty, and many many more are now cult-chosen worldwide for their 100% vegan selections!

A completely conscious beauty dream may still be that – a dream – but the dots are being connected and will soon be a turnover for both brands and consumers. A revolution awaits.
