Recent studies have shown that more than 50% of grown-ups are vegan-curious. The reasons for the high motivation are:
- Preparation of the meal consumes less time.
- Preference of some individuals.
- Lifestyle restrictions for some people.
- Desire to protect the environment.
- Family meal challenges. Many adults, mostly parents, struggle to find convenient foodsfor their children.
