Over the next few weeks I am going to be putting out some great blogs from our President of the Vegetarian and Vegan Society about what its like to be Vegan, hopefully this might inspire you to try being Vegan for January.

What is Veganuary?

The Veganuary charity is a campaign encouraging people to try a vegan diet for the month most commonly associated with resolution and change this year they have broken records with a staggering 50,000 people signed up.

No matter your beliefs, there are so many great reasons to TRY veganism:

  • Love for animals

  • Health reasons - Cut out cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

  • Feel better about yourself

  • Challenge yourself

  • Make a positive impact on the environment - half your greenhouse gas emissions

  • New Years Resolutions

  • Discover a whole new world of taste and flavour
