The Veganuary campaign has grown significantly since launching in 2014, with over 59,500 people participating in 2017, more than double the number from the previous year. Adopting a vegan diet can provide health benefits by reducing risks of diseases like heart disease and diabetes. It also helps the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water usage associated with industrial animal agriculture. While vegans must ensure they obtain key nutrients like vitamin B12, a vegan diet when planned properly can meet all nutritional needs.

From this you can see that the facts are true for the
most part. I will change then to be 100% correct and also
I might put some of the aims as they are quite
impressive. Also I think that the dates could be made a
bit more up to date because as it has grown the things
that have happened in the last few years that are more
impressive. I have the stats to the right and you can see
things like the number of people who have don’t it. I also
will add some facts so that I can then add some words to
the text
With a success of 3,200 people taking the challenge in
January 2014, the campaign has gone from strength to
strength to help raise awareness of this lifestyle. Now in
2017 the campaign has had 59,500 taking part. This is over
double in 2016.

3. Veganism is a widely controversial way of living that seeks to exclude the exploitation of animals for food, clothing,
testing and entertainment. Veganuary is a global campaign that launched in January 2014 to help encourage people
to try vegan for January.
I like this section of the document and I don't think
there is a lot that needs to change and a lot of it I
will be keeping the same. Some of the changes that I
will make are some facts would be added to make it
longer as it is currently below the 500 words it is
ment to be. There are no facts in this to check.
Veganism is a way of changing your diet in the
way of living that seeks to exclude the
exploitation of animals for food, clothing, testing
and entertainment. Veganuary is a global
campaign that launched in January 2014 to help
encourage people to try vegan for January. Now
in 2017 the event is a lot a lot more popular and
also vegans are now a lot more accepted around
the world than it was then.

4. “veganism improves
personal health.”

iet-nutrition/a10234013/vegan-health-
benefits/
As you can see from this website there
are a lot of things that make not eating
meat based products good for you. This
is a reliable source because it is a from
a popular magazine that is well
respected. As well as this there are a lot
of other things that say similar things
and this backs up there post.
For the rest of it I think it is fine
and I will keep a lot of it the same. I
think the facts are good on this part
of the text and I like the lists of it
and the spellings and punctuation
are correct.

5. I think this is fine and I like
the fact in the text. I will keep
this the same. I will do this
because the facts are fine and
also the text makes sense and
also It has the correct
punctuation and grammar.
This means that vegans eat a lot
more fruits and vegetables than
omnivores. Vegans get the most
amount of nutrients they can from
their food and are keen to make sure
they know how to get everything
they need such as iron.

6. Al of the things in the text are true and
also the grammar is also good.
For the things it says it is hard for
vegans to get.
This can be shown hear:
https://www.vegansociety.com/resources/
nutrition-and-health/nutrients/vitamin-
b12/what-every-vegan-should-know-
about-vitamin-b12
This shows ways to sort it and this also
matched the document. I will not be
changing anything from this art of the
text

7. The first think I had a look at was if it did actually help
eliminate the diseases it says in the text.
From looking on the internet I found this site that says
that a lot of the things said are true and gives good
reasons on the site below
http://www.nursingdegree.net/blog/19/57-health-benefits-
of-going-vegan/
For the ones that where not mentioned on the site there
are a lot of them on different sites.
One being the E. coli being on the site:
http://www.carlagoldenwellness.com/2015/06/26/57-health-
benefits-of-a-plant-based-diet/
Lastly for the diverticulosis the site:
https://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20110719/vegetarian-
diet-may-prevent-diverticular-disease#1
Talks about a new study to proves the claims in the

8.  When looking for information about the diet being better for women I couldn't find
anything to prove this so I will need to take it out. I will change it to 'a vegan diet
can be more beneficial to all people as it can help people stay a healthy weight and
it also helps the environment due to the elimination of dairy from their diet as
well as many more things.'
 I think I this will make the text more appealing to both genders and therefor can
help veganuary get more males to take it up.
 Looking into the weight I found a lot of places that say veganism is good for losing
and remaining the same weight. One example
is https://www.vegancoach.com/vegan-weight-loss-1.html on the site it explains
both sides or losing and remaining the same weight.

9. VEGANISM HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT AND HELPS TO STOP EXCESS
GREENHOUSE GASES. OVER 70 BILLION LAND ANIMALS SUCH AS COWS,
PIGS AND CHICKENS ARE SPECIFICALLY BRED, FARMED AND KILLED FOR
FOOD EVERY YEAR. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SEA CREATURES AND
OTHER ANIMALS BRED FOR FUR AND SKIN TRADES.
Being vegan does help the environment in many ways but mainly the time and
resources needed to product meat compared to crops. This can be shown by the image on
the right with the meat using a lot more than soy a typical thing a vegan might eat.
As well as this the green house gases fact is also true as this was said on the site
choiseveg.com : In fact, raising animals for food produces more greenhouse gas
emissions than all of the cars, planes, and other forms of transportation combined.
On the website www.animalequality.net/food it says that 56 million animals where
killed for meat so I will therefor change this fact. Other than changing this fact I will
not change anything else from this bit of text.
VEGANISM HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT AND HELPS TO STOP EXCESS
GREENHOUSE GASES. OVER 56 BILLION LAND ANIMALS SUCH AS COWS,
PIGS AND CHICKENS ARE SPECIFICALLY BRED, FARMED AND KILLED FOR
FOOD EVERY YEAR. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SEA CREATURES AND OTHER
ANIMALS BRED FOR FUR AND SKIN TRADES.

 I think from what I have looked at then 70% is a bit to much and it is more like
50% I got this information from the site one green planet and it says this: Nearly
half of all the water used in the United States goes to raising animals for food
(“The Food Revolution” by John Robbins). It takes more than 2,400 gallons of
water to produce 1 pound of meat and only 25 gallons to produce one pound of
wheat (“Water Inputs in California Food Production” by Marcia Kreith)
 We would also only need 50% of the food grown to feed everyone as 95% of soy crop
is used to feed animals.

11. THE FINAL THINGWith a success of 3,200 people taking the challenge in January 2014, the campaign has gone from
strength to strength to help raise awareness of this lifestyle. Now in 2017 the campaign has had
59,500 taking part. This is over double in 2016.Veganism is a way of changing your diet in the way of
living that seeks to exclude the exploitation of animals for food, clothing, testing and
entertainment. Veganuary is a global campaign that launched in January 2014 to help encourage
people to try vegan for January. Now in 2017 the event is a lot a lot more popular and also vegans
are now a lot more accepted around the world than it was then. VEGANISM NOT ONLY HELPS TO
REDUCE THE SUFFERING OF ANIMALS AND HELP THE PLANET BUT ALSO IMPROVES
PERSONAL HEALTH. DUE TO THE FACT VEGANS DO NOT EAT ANIMALS OR THEIR
PRODUCTS, THEY MUST FIND THE ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS THEY NEED FROM PLANT BASED
SOURCES, VEGAN ALTERNATIVES AND FORTIFIED FOOD. THIS MEANS THAT VEGANS EAT A
LOT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THAN OMNIVORES. VEGANS GET THE MOST
AMOUNT OF NUTRIENTS THEY CAN FROM THEIR FOOD AND ARE KEEN TO MAKE SURE
THEY KNOW HOW TO GET EVERYTHING THEY NEED SUCH AS IRON. HOWEVER, VITAMIN
B12 IS A VITAMIN THAT CAN BE HARD FOR VEGANS TO OBTAIN AS IT IS FOUND IN MEAT,
WHICH IS CREATED BY BACTERIA BUT IS ALSO ADDED TO FORTIFIED FOODS SUCH AS
BREAKFAST CEREALS. A SUPPLEMENT OF B12 IS THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU
DO NOT LACK IT IN YOUR DIET. NOT ONLY DO VEGANS TEND TO BE MORE WELL INFORMED
OF WHAT THEIR BODY NEEDS AND WHAT THEIR FOOD CONTAINS BUT AVOIDING MEAT AND
ANIMAL PRODUCTS CAN HELP TO VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE THE MOST SEVERE DISEASES
SUCH AS CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, OBESITY, TYPE 2 DIABETES, DIVERTICULOSIS AND
E.COLI INFECTIONS. A VEGAN DIET CAN BE MORE BENEFICIAL TO ALL PEOPLE AS IT CAN
HELP PEOPLE STAY A HEALTHY WEIGHT AND IT ALSO HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT DUE TO
THE ELIMINATION OF DAIRY FROM THEIR DIET AS WELL AS MANY MORE THINGS.
