Vegan restaurant announces dramatic step - reactions range from understanding to hatred. Adonis Norouznia, the owner of Nomas Gastrobar in Macclesfield, said strangers online had been "defaming" him with one-star reviews since he announced the "difficult but necessary decision" to add meat and dairy to his plant-based menu.

The number of people following a vegan diet has risen steadily in recent years. According to the Federal Association of the German Food Trade, in autumn 2023 three percent of Germans were vegan and nine percent were vegetarian.
