Description

Fat Gay Vegan is exactly what he says in the name hes fat, hes gay and hes vegan. But for a word that's grown so popular, what does being vegan actually mean

The vegan community has grown hugely in the last decade, but is surrounded by questions of ethics, of community, of celebrity food fads and spurious health claims. For the last seven years, Fat Gay Vegan has been a voice that cuts through the fuss and the fads, and calling bullshit wherever he finds it. Now, he brings together his story and those of others in the vegan community to answer to the questions both vegans and non-vegans alike might have:
Why should I be vegan in the first place
Does not being vegan mean I'm a bad person
What should my friends and family do... and are they bad people
Do I need to be a gym bunny to be worthy of veganism (answer: no)
Can I still eat junk food if Im vegan (answer: definitely yes!)

In Seans own words: When a wave of realisation swamps you and you come to learn how incredibly simple and sensible choosing veganism is, youll have me sitting up there in your head like a friendly, fat uncle whispering, I knew you could do it. The day will arrive when you proclaim, Hey, if that fat gay guy can do it, so can I!

Packed with personal stories and non-preachy advice, this is a compassionate, no-nonsense guide to veganism from one of the community's biggest celebrities.
