Sometimes we need a trend and a time limit in order to pursue a lifestyle change.
Just like No Shave November and Sober September, thousands of people across the world have dedicated (at least) a month towards doing something they’re not used to. Veganuary has campaigned an entire project towards getting people to pledge to go vegan for the month of January. Their website states:
Their website includes tons of tips and tricks towards achieving a meatless lifestyle, including a Vegan Starter Kit, a list of Vegan Myths, and a vegan Eating Out Guide. They list a vegan diet as beneficial to animals, the environment, your health, and your nutrition.
So, as the pledge enters the first work day for most, we ask: does it last?
According to The Guardian, “Organisers of Veganuary, now in its third year, predict that 50,000 people will take part this month, of whom around half will stay vegan.”
Let us know how your friends and family taking the pledge are doing, and if you think the diet will stick!
