What is Veganuary?
Veganuary is a global non-profit organization that encourages people to try vegan for the month of January. The initiative was created in 2014, and since then, it has grown rapidly around the world. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people take part in Veganuary by pledging to go vegan for the month of January.
The goal of Veganuary is to help people understand and enjoy the vegan lifestyle, with the hope that they will continue eating vegan for the remainder of the year and beyond. Many people find that taking part in Veganuary helps them to develop healthier eating habits, learn more about plant-based nutrition, and identify easy vegan recipes that can be included in their regular meal plans.
During Veganuary, participants are encouraged to explore new vegan products, experiment with different plant-based ingredients, and discover delicious vegan recipes. There are many resources available for people who want to learn more about veganism, including easy-to-follow recipes, tips for eating out and dining with non-vegans, and information about the health benefits of a plant-based diet.
