1. The vegan life
It’s a new year and time to try something different. Veganuary is a global
campaign aiming to get more people trying the vegan lifestyle for the month of
January. This could be used as your Christmas detox or just to try something
new.
Why try Veganuary? What would be the benefitsfor you?
Turning vegan for a month could be a change worth doing for you, it has plenty
of health benefits as apposed to your usual meat diet, but there are still people
unaware that they can get a healthy nutritional diet from being a vegan. Well, we
can tell you that you can! Research and other Vegans experiences have shown
evidence of people maintaining a healthy nutritional vegan diet.
What do you do for alternativesto dairy? Isit not expensive?
A common alternative for milk among vegans is soy milk, an easy and reasonably
priced alternative, this enables you to can carry on with your usual daily dairy
meals and luxury’s like milk on your cereal or in your cups of tea. This also
contains nutrients that you need such as protein and carbs. As said before it is
reasonably priced and you could pick up a carton of soymilk for around a £1.30.
Other dairy products like cheese can be made from multiple sources such as
Coconut Milk, Soymilk and even brown rice. Surprisingly to some there are
alternatives for lots of dairy products.
What are the other benefits for me?
Wanting to lose weight or get toned up for your summer holiday? Veganuary is a
step in the right direction. Removing a lot of bad fats from your food by getting
rid of your usual meaty meals has a massive improvement on your health. This
fat can lead to things such as heart disease, a stroke, diabetes, and other chronic
conditions. This type of fat stores in your body and takes a lot of hard work to
burn off.
Now, What other benefitsare there?
According to ‘Environmental Working Group’ from their recent studies they have
discovered that “If everyone in the U.S. took one day a week to cut out meat or
cheese, it would be like taking 7.6 million cars off the road.” And one person
could make their own difference as their research also showed “Eating one less
burger a week is like taking your car of the road for 320 miles.” This would make
a huge difference in the long run and contribute to expanding our vegan
community.

2. The Animals
Animals are just like us, they experience common feelings and emotions the
same as humans, such as, happiness, pain, fear, hunger, sadness, boredom and
frustration. This shouldn’t be the feelings that we should force upon animals or
any living beings, people say that it is just a natural way of life but put yourself in
the animals shoes, mass populated, crammed into small dark huts and
warehouses with your life span drastically reduced from 15+ years to around
one year.
Some of our top meals!
You may not think you would enjoy vegan meals but you will be pleasantly
surprised. We create alternatives to your beef burgers and bacon butties that
will still please your appetite. Things like Grilled aborigine, soy cheese and pesto
burgers and Baked Curry Chickpea Fritters make an excellent and tasty
alternative to a common beef burger. And for your bacon butties you could
replace with coconut bacon produced by multiple companies or even sweet
earths hickory & sage bacon, there are plenty of alternatives for your favorite
foods out there so plenty to try.
The VeganCommunity
There are around 150,000 full time vegans in the UK, that’s around one in 400 in
the UK. Although this number seems low it is seeing a huge difference since the
start of our campaign. Between 2012 and 2013 the number of people trying the
vegan lifestyle for the month of January increased by 40% that’s a significant
improvement and we hope to beat that result and get as many as 50% more than
Veganuary last year. We could all achieve that together just by trying it, whether
its for a week, month or permanently.
