There’s no doubt that eating vegan has exploded in popularity, with many people taking on the recent Veganuary challenge by going plant-based for the month of January this year.

The Vegan Society says: “Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.”
