THIS November will be Animal Aid’s fifth annual "Great Vegan Challenge" - a month long challenge that gives non-vegans all of the information and help they need to go vegan for November, and hopefully stay vegan thereafter.
With the number of vegans in the UK growing by more than 350% in ten years, it has never been easier to adopt a plant-based diet.
The number of vegan products has grown rapidly with vegan food now widely available in supermarkets, local shops, coffee shops, restaurants and beyond.
There are now vegan alternatives to almost everything - including "chicken" nuggets, ice-cream, burgers, and even steak.
A vegan diet is not only kinder to animals, it is better for the environment and it is also healthy.
Tod Bradbury, Animal Aid
