Vegans
The vegan movement was started by Donald Watson, who was born in South Yorkshire in 1910. He founded the Vegan Society in 1944, and lived to see veganism spread worldwide. Who would have thought that a movement based on compassion and healthy eating could have originated in the land of lard?

Oh DO be serious! The land of 'roast beef' is hardly likely to support the insane contention that vegans, or even vegetarians, are anything other than bonkers!
Johnathan Oswin
I'm vegan, and I'm pleased as a son of England to know that my lifestyle was inspired by a compassionate Brit, only to be picked up and carried forth throughout the world in growing numbers. As perhaps one of the greatest, most widespread peace movements of all time, veganism is perhaps England's greatest export.
