The start of a new year these days signals the launch of Veganuary, a campaign which encourages people to give up animal products for the month of January.
But while this time of the year sees a focus on diet, as political philosophers we argue that veganism should not be framed as a personal lifestyle choice but as a form of political activism. Viewed in these terms, veganism is a collective action aimed at political transformation, not an individual quest for an ethically pure diet.
