For anyone attempting a dry January, the fact that we’re more than half way through the first half of the month may come as something of a relief. Likewise for those joining in with the newer idea of Veganuary, starting the year with 31 meat and dairy free days.
While undoubtedly on the rise, veganism is not to everyone’s taste. But that could change significantly in the coming decade, says Chris Bryant. His research found that for many meat eaters, veganism makes perfect sense from an ethical and environmental perspective. What stops them from making a significant lifestyle change is largely down to considerations of taste and availability. But as vegan products get tastier and easier to find, the
idea of eating meat could quickly go out of fashion.
Elsewhere, we’ve been looking at who really understands 21st century privilege, and why dentists could be ditching their needles and drills to treat children’s tooth decay.
