Jasmijn de Boo, Vegan Society CEO, on health benefits of veganism in The Sun
CEO Jasmijn talks about her motivations for going vegan and how she maintains a healthy vegan diet with ease.
"My main objective by changing my diet was to be nicer to other living species but I was curious about the health benefits too.

Jasmijn de Boo, Vegan Society CEO, on EU Cosmetics Testing Ban in Huffington Post
"After 23 years of campaigning for an end to animal testing for cosmetics, the EU ban on the use of non-human animals in cosmetics testing has now come into full force."
CEO Jasmijn gives a comprehensive, and well-researched, background to the history of the ban and explores where it's heading, with a call to the UK Government and European Parliament to enable the funding of a major transition towards humane non-animal research and testing.
