2022 University of Idaho killings | Re: Brian Christopher Kohberger - I couldn’t find any information about Brian Kohberger’s dietary preferences or thoughts about food. However, according to an article by Meaww, Kohberger was seen at Mad Greek restaurant in Moscow, Idaho at least twice to grab vegan pizza. Murder victims Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen worked in the Mad Greek, a nonvegetarian restaurant. Presumably, none of the victims was plant-based. "The former employee tells PEOPLE that there was nothing suspicious about Kohberger's visits to the Mad Greek, and that he only stood out because he had a particular order: a strict vegan, Kohberger would check to make sure that his food had not come into contact with animal products."

Elizabeth Holmes | Include in project because she adopted vegan sproutarian 'juicetarian' diet in order to 'work without sleep' for 16 hours. Elizabeth Holmes is a former American businesswoman who was the founder and CEO of Theranos, a now-defunct health technology company. I couldn’t find any information about her dietary preferences except that she adopted a vegan diet early on in her career because she found that staying off animal products allowed her to work later without sleep. She worked 16 hours a day, seven days a week, and allegedly slept four hours a night. Instead, she ran on a green juice blend of spinach, parsley, wheatgrass, celery, and cucumber.

Lisa Bloom | Article needs to be included in this project because (a) she has been a vegetarian for a long time, (b) now is a vegan, and (c) is representing Miyoko Schinner in her lawsuit.

Johnstown, Pennsylvania | Johnstown, Pennsylvania is - and has long been the physical site of - the site of the annual NAVS Vegan Summerfest. The Johnstown, Pennsylvania article should be 'adopted' by this project. Article needs expansion of this theme - perhaps as a section on famous events in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Volunteers should step forward and help develop a draft article; I would be willing to host a draft text for Johnstown PA subarticle for the annual NAVS vegetarian conference, which began in 1975 with the IVU's 23rd World Vegetarian Congress in Orono, Maine, where the North American Vegetarian Society was imagined and organized.

Plant milk | Needs a (small) section on World Plant Milk Day (August 22), which has been going on since 2019 (3 years now). Slogans are #TheFutureIsDairyFree and "Take the 7-day dairy-free challenge."[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Celebrities include Olivia Fox Cabane, the organiser of the Alternative Protein Summit and Founder & CEO of The Global Alternative Food Awards (GAFAs), and developer of The Protein Landscape. Sponsors seem to have featured Oatly, Califia Farms, and Milkadamia in 2020 (but not Planet Oat, Chobani Oatmilk, or other plantmilks). The event is publicized by Plant Based News, and the event's website is: https://www.worldplantmilkday.com/ World Plant Milk Day (WPMD) as August 22 was first celebrated in 2017.[11][12][13] Without some Wikipedia text about World Plant Milk Day (WPMD) in SOME relevant article, the date cannot be included in other articles on annual celebrations or food celebrations or dates. Rush on this. |

Semi-vegetarianism | A history section of semi-vegetarian diets might be a good idea to add. I have managed to locate some of the earliest books on the topic. Jean Hewitt's International Meatless Cookbook, promoted a "part-time vegetarian diet" in 1980. Psychologist Guy (talk) 15:43, 22 August 2020 (UTC); Photographs needed; VB6 (vegan before six pm); macrobiotics, flexitarianism, religious fasting and religious vegetarianism during Lent and other periods | Not completed | |
Soy curls | The whole article was basically how to prepare them. I have deleted most of it and it is looking a bit empty. Nutritional info, production, and history would be good things to add. | I have added an two infoboxes, ((Infobox food)) and ((Infobox nutritional value)), so that is done. I created a history section, but couldn't find much about them except that they were created around the year 2000 by Butler Foods. I don't know if there is much more to add. A better picture would be nice, and perhaps some information about production. | |
Taran Noah Smith | More on his life beyond his California-based non-dairy cheese manufacturer and restaurant, Playfood, specializing in vegan and organic foods, which he and his ex-wife [Heidi van Pelt (m. 2001; div. 2007)] formed in 2005.[14] If Heidi van Pelt is also vegan, she is a 'person of interest' in this 'vegan historical unfolding'! She is known as 'American Vegan Chef' so she is 'into it!'[15] At the age of 17, Smith married Heidi van Pelt on April 27, 2001. The marriage sparked much controversy due to the couple's age difference, as van Pelt was 16 years older. The couple filed for divorce on February 2, 2007.[16] | Not completed | |
Timeline of cellular agriculture | Plant-based meats may not be cellular agriculture, and maybe a distinct and separate 'timeline of plant-based meats' could be developed, but maybe more should be said in this article about the distinct and parallel history of developments of plant-based meats. | Not completed | |

Veganism | Needs discussion of zoonotic disease (animal disease that transmits to humans and whose spread is fastened by livestock breeding and hunting) as a motivator for veganism (e. g. avian and swine flu, MERS, Ebola, Covid, BSE).

Veganuary | Impact of Veganuary: FARM's The Great American Meatout (March 20th) invited the general public to kick the meat habit (for life, for health, for the animals, for the ecosystem, for a variety of reasons) - and the termination of the agreement was left open-ended (usually it was read as a one-day commitment). Is there room in the article to include this note? MaynardClark (talk) 17:02, 30 December 2020 (UTC) | Unstarted | |

Vegetarian and vegan symbolism | Are these markings 'symbols' in any commonly-used sense (rather than certifications or labels)? Article (i) covers very few of the labels previously or currently used, or attempted, and (b) needs history section, and (iii) seems half-hearted in its scope. Needs discussion of 'cruelty-free products' labeling (e.g. PETA, commercial innovators, business efforts (failed and successful), etc. | ||
Vegetarianism by country | Globalise. Most countries are not mentioned. The Asia section, for instance, describes only China, India, Israel, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. Needs e. g. Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Japan, and Philippines. The South and Central America section is until now limited to Brazil. | Delete countries as you add them | |

French Vegetarian Society | The English-language article: Sociéte Végétarienne de Paris - has been translated into French: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_v%C3%A9g%C3%A9tarienne_de_France | The discussion (within THAT Wikipedia article) needs to (a) include that French language article as part of this WikiProject Veganism and Vegetarianism, and (b) correct the links (so that they work). |
Search Wikipedia for articles that lack an English-language version (using the Tool Forge digital tool:
Surely there are good reasons for expanding the possible scope of this work (to different language groups), which (for practical reasons) could begin with volunteers from well-organized continental groups like European Vegetarian Union. A Wikipedia article List of vegetarian organizations should or could be consulted.

Classical musicians who are veg It can be difficult to determine the dietary habits of classical musicians, as this information is often not publicly available. However, here are some classical musicians who are known to be vegan:
Instrumentalist musicians who are known to be vegan
It's important to note that being vegan is a personal choice and dietary habits do not necessarily reflect a musician's talent or skill.
Spiritually-minded vegan musicians
It's worth noting that there are many religious traditions that encourage or require certain dietary restrictions, such as kosher laws in Judaism and halal laws in Islam, but being vegan is a personal choice and not necessarily tied to any particular religion.
Vegan-themed music Vegetarians and vegans come from all walks of life and have diverse musical tastes, so it's difficult to make generalizations about which types of music specifically attract them. However, here are some genres that often feature vegetarian and vegan themes in their lyrics or are associated with veganism or animal rights activism:
