Need a new challenge? Consider switching to a plant-based diet. Veganuary is now a worldwide movement with participants around the world. Canada is in the top 20 countries by number of participants, ranking 18th.

Growing up in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. with a father working as a butcher, Toni Vernelli loved eating meat. But it wasn’t long before she noticed that the food she was eating was coming from the farm animals she loved. When Vernelli was 18, she made the switch to veganism.

Previously, promoting a plant-based diet was awareness-based, promoting cold-turkey vegetarianism or veganism.The challenge started in 2014 in the U.K. and when Veganuary co-founders Jane Land and Matthew Glover decide to create the pledge to go vegan. In general, there are three main motivations for signing up for Veganuary, said Vernelli: animal protection, health benefits and environmental concerns.Four years ago while on a business trip to the U.K., Rob Felix took notice of the Veganuary campaign in a number of British shops such as Tesco.

Earlier this year, the federal government invested $1.4 million in plant-based protein company Big Mountain Foods Ltd. “Most people don’t like the idea of eating animals ... but changing a habit of a lifetime is hard,” said Vernelli. While many vegans are required to substitute the B12 vitamin, a vitamin predominantly found in red meat, Fontaine said that for a month switch, additional supplements outside of a multivitamin and omega-3 are not necessary.

No

Don't let them fool you. No intelligent person is actually doing this.

No. No it’s not. The star simply reprints leftist press releases though— that is true.

Get this hot garbage off my feed.

No one cares

Food is expensive enough as it is

Bacon loves all of us equally

My meat eats plants does that count ?

I’ll be celebrating the start of Veganuary with a Cheeseburger tonight.

As if humans need a diet that leaves the body and mind dying leading to more depression and mental illness. Globalist evil junk propaganda. Be ashamed of yourselves

Had to heat the house so no meat this winter. Exactly what our little commie on the hill wants. Full control. Of everything.

THREE FACE MASKS ON IS OKAY BUT FOUR FACE MASKS ON IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No thanks. Not a soy boy.

Nobody cares

Switch to carnivore and thank me later. Vegan diets are for soy boys.

I prefer Vaganuary

Be a good citizen and try it.

We’re top of the food chain for a reason. Don’t fight evolution.

Why some Canadians are switching to a plant-based diet in the new yearAs the annual January food trend Veganuary begins, some advocates say plant-based foods are growing in popularity as Canadians are increasingly looking for options to incorporate greater variety into their diet. GO VEGGIE! They have a dog though. I believe consensus is dogs and cat require meat diets to be healthy. I am veggie but feed my cat canned cat food with meat & fish. Meowza. Because propaganda I encourage all liberals to do this so their bodies become even weaker and their minds even slower than usual.
