MAUMEE, Ohio - The Toledo Area VegBASH held its third event here in the 419 this past Sunday.
The one day celebration of vegetarian and vegan cuisine featured over 30 food venders, artists, and local businesses selling cruelty free or plant based products.
According to Innova Market Insights, there was a 45 percent growth in vegan food and beverage products from 2013 to 2017.
With vegetarian and vegan diets becoming rapidly more popular - 2019 has been called The Year of The Vegan.
Susan Stark and her husband, Thom, came to an event three years ago as patrons.
At the time, Thom was a retired health care professional with health scares of his own.
They were given samples the Essante Organics products, and noticed dramatic results.
Now, they swear by the plant based products and sell the same supplements. “We noticed, after about a year, the surgical scar he had, about 15 inches, was disappearing, so naturally I started taking it and I felt so much better.”
Lynda Martinez has been eating a vegan diet, free of meat and dairy for the past year and a half. She says she has experienced numerous improvements in her health. “I can see better, I feel better, I don’t have a lot of the stomach problems that I had previously. So, I definitely have seen the benefit of taking away a lot of the garbage.”
Plant based diets and supplements have also risen to popularity in the weight loss industry and health professions.
