"Vegan is the same to malnutrition", "Vegan diet produces anemia "," vegan food is boring and incipient "; these are some of the most common phrases that should be heard.

For her part, María Triana, who is a vegan several years ago, told LatinAmerican Post that she believes that all those myths are a lie.

She even says that since she eliminated animal foods from her daily diet, she feels more energetic and has learned to create recipes with ingredients he never imagined.
