Israel joins America in offering lower insurance premiums to vegans

Growing evidence shows the health benefits of plant-based diets. Last year US insurance company HealthIQ started offering vegans lower life insurance , claiming their diet makes them healthier and therefore more likely to live longer. Now a company in Israel has started offering the country’s vegan population (five percent) a discount on its health plans. According to the Jerusalem Post , Clal Insurance ‘has established a Vegans Pay Less [VPL] initiative, developing specific life and health insurance plans for vegans, which include a significant discount’.

This is yet another development in Israel’s rapidly growing vegan movement – it has more vegans per capita than anywhere else in the world, as the BBC reports on here .
