Did You Know?
People have been talking about vegan coffee creamer since the start. Donald Watson, who coined veganism, talked about it in 1944, in the first issue of The Vegan News.
“The elimination of milk undoubtedly presents the greatest difficulty,” said Watson. “Nut milk is a good substitute, but it does not go well in tea.”
Luckily that’s a thing of the past.
