Forget Dry January, it's Veganuary. After the indulgence of the Christmas season (and naturally an excess of meat of cheese), a growing number of people are giving veganism a go for the first month of the year. In fact, according to official Veganuary figures, over 250,000 people in 193 countries have taken part since 2014.
