Why take part in Veganuary? Well, why not?
There are so many reasons people decide to try vegan.
For most, a love of animals is the catalyst. Some people want to feel better about themselves and the impact they make on the world. Others would like to set themselves a challenge, and many combine Veganuary with their ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ and see trying vegan as the healthiest start to the year. Whatever your reason, we’re here to support you.
So try vegan for a month and discover a whole new world of taste and flavour. We guarantee that, by the end of the month, you’ll feel fantastic!

Try it for a month. There really is no downside.

I'll have been vegan for five years on January 4th and I still miss bacon from time to time, so...
Still, it's a month. Give it a whirl.

I’m on a keto diet so I eat meat almost exclusively. It’s made a big difference in the way I feel and look, switching to the polar opposite for a month would probably really screw me up.

The downside is that chicken nuggets from Burger King are 10 for $1 while wheatgrass and vegan butter are like 5 bucks an ounce.

I am 6'4 and while I am skinny, my weight is stable. I spend ca. $120 CAD on food, per calendar month.
Veganism being expensive is one of the myths that Veganuary is intended to debunk.

Sorry, I can't stand most vegetables and trying to survive on nothing but vegetables would quickly lead to sheer misery. And by 'quickly', I mean 'in about five minutes' since it's nearly dinnertime.
Meat is tasty, vegetables are a necessary evil.

Well, Veggies/plants and Fungi. Otherwise, you’re not exactly Vegan.
It’s not for me. I get my meat from the butcher’s, so it’s higher welfare. I’d rather scoff cow than see further deforestation, endangering multiple species to grow more crops. Swings and roundabouts, but whichever way you butter it, some poor animal is going to suffer.

I can't even understand how becoming "vegan" would help me and my life. It will definitely have some downsides for my wallet.
I hope this trend will quickly stop.

I eat a Vegan diet... Cows, deer, rabbits, and bison are all vegans, and I eat them.
Humans evolved to be omnivores, like bears. there are nutrients our bodies need that vegetables alone cannot provide. If you are taking vitamin supplements to cover those, you may want to find out where they are sourcing them. You may be surprised.

Not eating animal products is not enough, as many other products contain animal parts, so its a fad, we are omnivores so are designed to eat meat. ( pigs in blankets yum) , I sould be more concerned about how it was treated and killed rather than the fact it was an animal product.

I have tremendous sympathy with the vegan cause, but it's not a lifestyle I can commit to. If we hadn't fethed up the ocean, I might have been able to pull off pescatarianism (well, only fish and dairy products. I *need* cheese). Besides, my wife and son complain every time I secretly replace the meat with a vegan alternative. One of these days someone will find an economical way to grow meat in industrial vats, and I'll finall be able to shed the guilt while keeping the meat.

Got a $75 gift certificate from work for Christmas to a meat market. Stocked up on beef and pork products. I’ll be enjoying the most meat-filled month I’ve had for a while.
I’ll let the vegans think they’re doing the earth a favour while the organic farms around me fertilize the non-gmo foods they love so much with dead livestock remains and their excrement. Think all those poor domesticated animals on cattle, pig and poultry farms have nothing to do with those veggies on your plate? Think again.

You triggered my trap card. Take that $120 CAD/month and then multiply it by four for yourself, your wife and your two kids.

It would be interesting to find out exactly what vegans eat! I couldn't go without milk in my tea or an egg at breakfast though...
I think something like 'meat free mondays' is much more reasonable, and would be better for forming longer term habits.
