The first vegan butcher and the vegan fish of the future

On the occasion of the World Vegan Day, initiatives such as markets, tree planting, seminars take place all over the world. This year, in London, there is expectation for the opening of the "First vegan butcher", Rudy's Vegan Butcher, who will be offering the classic from November 1st junk food American, from hot dogs to hamburgers, and then sausages and bacon, in a vegan key.
