With New Year comes new beginnings - and for some people, that means ditching meat and dairy for Veganuary.
It's an annual challenge run by a UK nonprofit that promotes and educates about veganism by encouraging people to follow a vegan lifestyle for the whole month of January. Last year, more than 629,000 people from 228 countries and territories took part and this year, organisers say they've experienced a record-breaking sign-up rate of one person taking up the challenge every 2.4 seconds.
Out of 2022's participants, 83 per cent who were not already vegan when they signed up committed to permanently changing their diet either by staying vegan or at least halving their intake of animal products, reports WalesOnline.
