Helping more people go vegan

In a bid to amplify the movement’s message, Veganuary has also launched its 2024 campaign PSA, urging everyone to “Vote for Veggies” this new year. Voiced by Ryan Eggold of New Amsterdam and The Blacklist, the video encourages people to choose vegetables as a means to address environmental concerns, improve health, reduce food costs, protect animals, and promote healthier ecosystems.

“More and more people worldwide are choosing to try vegan—many also stay vegan long-term, for animals, the planet, and their health,” Sandra Hungate, US Director at Veganuary, said in a statement.

Supporting this trend, a recent YouGov study on behalf of Veganuary reveals that 71 percent of all US adults aspire to consume more vegetables in 2024. Veganuary is stepping up to assist individuals in reaching this goal by providing registered participants with daily plant-based recipes, nutrition guides, a budget meal plan, and exclusive discounts. 

The movement also fosters a sense of community through its podcast, YouTube series, and Facebook groups. Adding a new dimension to its offerings, Veganuary is launching its inaugural cookbook, featuring 100 delicious vegan recipes, available for order now.
