Greta Thunberg (Daniele Cossu \/ Bigstockphoto.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Greta Thunberg, or, to use her full name, Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg, is perhaps the most famous 18 year old in the world. The inspirational activist has achieved so much despite her tender years and at an age when many of us were drinking in parks or playing computer games, she was busy being named Time magazine Person of 2019<\/a>, being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize<\/a> and generally changing the world for the better.<\/p>\n

Despite these achievements, the young Swede has been attacked by many for a wide range of things and one of the biggest criticisms of her is that she is a hypocrite who only talks a good game. It has to be assumed that the vast majority of her detractors are climate change deniers, pro-business politicians who are scared of an environmental revolution and others with vested interests. We are not here to assess the merits of her arguments in general (though they make sense to us!) but instead we are more concerned with the issue of whether or not she is vegan.<\/p>\n

On this issue we can say that Greta does very much walk the walk and, yes, Greta Thunberg is vegan. We have looked at other famous environmentalists, such as David Attenborough<\/a>, as well as celebrities with green credentials, such as Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a>. Sometimes it is hard to be sure whether certain people are vegan or not but when it comes to Stockholm\u2019s most famous eco daughter, we can categorically state that yes, she is indeed vegan.<\/p>\n
