We are halfway through Veganuary and I thought I would check in and see how everyone is doing on their journey. If you haven't tried the vegan diet, now is a great time to test it out. There are plenty of easy vegan dishes for you to make and most restaurants are willing to make an entree vegan upon request.
Oh, you don't want to be inconvenienced.
You are worried about what you will eat for the day.
You don't care about the health benefits of a plant-based diet.
Well, while you complain, consider these facts: Going vegan for just one day saves
40 pounds of grain*
1100 gallons of water**
30 square feet of forest
1 animal
20 pounds of CO2
*That grain can feed hungry populations around the world
**equivalent to four months' worth of showers
I'll make it easy for you to get started. Here is a list of vegan recipes here on the blog. Pick out a few and plan your day so you will know what you can eat.
