The best decision I ever made was to go Vegan.
I went Vegan at the age of 50, which was 7 years ago. Every day, I wish I had been Vegan sooner.
I wish I had been born and raised Vegan.
I went vegan at 25, but I still look back sometimes & can’t believe that I used to eat animals & their secretions. We don’t need to be hard on ourselves though. Society did us a huge injustice with it’s appalling extent of propaganda & lack of education about what’s really been going on.
@@cryco472 For 3.2 million years humans evolved eating meat. For 2.5 million years man has been classified as "Hyper-Carnivore", "Super-Carnivore", and "Apex Predators". Farming only came into existence after the great large mammal die off about 12,000 years ago. Man still has canine teeth for eating meat. You may feel the need to graze like a cow but your body evolved over millions of years to eat the cow, not eat like a cow. Any diet you are forced to take vitamins and supplements is not the proper human diet. Other than a few animals licking salt and minerals off rocks no other mammals on Earth take vitamins nor do they need to if they eat the proper foods they evolved to eat. Compare the nutrients in 4 ounces of beef liver to the nutrients found in one pound of Kale or any "super food vegetable" of your choosing. No way - no how can any fruit or vegetable compete with the nutrients in organ meat and / or ruminate meat. You are only kidding yourself with your unsustainable fad vegan diet. Now go take your supplements.
It is hard to look back on it but also it just makes me so grateful I did it when I did (6 years ago for me) and didn't wait any longer. When people ask me if it is hard to stay vegan, I respond very honestly with the fact that "no, it isn't, because I don't even see animals and their secretions as food anymore. Why would I eat it?"@@cryco472
If a baby consumes mothers milk then it is not vegan.
@@cryco472 Enjoy.
After many years as a pescatarian I finally went vegan with Veganuary in 2019, aged 62. Best thing I've ever done, will never go back.
You probably won't because the negative impact of veganism takes time to affect the victim.
@@happycarnivore..🤡
@@happycarnivore.. says the guy named "carnivore". You know that your diet style is completly hideous and unhealthy?
*Celebrating 10 Years Of Veganuary - Join us!*
The cool thing is I went vegan in September 2013 and so I've witnessed first-hand the rise of Veganuary from a tiny idea to a global movement
Happy 10 year anniversary! I went vegan 1 Nov 2013... I think it was a PeTA challenge, had been vegetarian for 7 years before going vegan also due to awareness through PeTA.
@@65ndlovumziAround May 2013 for me, happy 10th anniversary to us all.
February 2013. 💚

I changed to vegan at 70 years, best decision ever!
Well done everyone. What a lovely community to be part of. 💚
I've been a vegan for many years. I love it and love watching it grow. I don't go out to eat allot during to most of the restaurants in the U.S. don't offer a vegan option. Thank Veganuary for your persistence!
I went vegan a year and a half ago. And I’ve helped 6 people do the same. And many more I’ve helped and am actively helping to work toward it. It’s wonderful. I eat whole plants only too. Changed my life forever. No more yo yo dieting.
I’m jealous lol I haven’t had the opportunity to help anyone go vegan, despite having casual conversations about it & even making them vegan food from time to time. I think it’s because I’m surrounded by people who do not have a growth mindset, which in & of itself is a very undesirable trait. If I had more agency over the situation I’d only be around people with a desire to keep learning & growing.
@@cryco472 I think you are spot on. It’s hard to know what we know now about the health of only eating whole plants, not only for our bodies, but for all beings and the earth itself, and to be around people who are blind to it. And not only blind, they don’t want to be informed about it. Trust me I’ve had many many people throw walls up super quickly. I’ve heard it said it’s harder for people to change their diet than to change their religion. I don’t think there’s a more physically intimate experience in this life than eating. Since the food literally becomes our body. I will say, the 6 people who I have helped, I definitely did not start out with the ethical purpose of protecting animals. And maybe because that’s how I started. A friend of mine wrote a beautiful book about eating whole and how it can change everything. I was having a health issue that scared me. So as I was reading her book and the tears were flowing, I started to notice she was recommending no animal products, and even tho I was in a very humble state and open to change, my first thought was, “she’s saying no meat or dairy?! Oh I’m not gonna do that!” Haha. I still clearly remember this. But within a few more days I seamlessly committed to it. At first I didn’t want to hear about the ethicality of it. But eventually I did. And I’m so glad I am now very much ethically based in my decision to be vegan, not just for health. I am a man of faith, and I know that God loves all creation, and is not pleased with the current situation of animal agriculture and their exploitation. But people just don’t want to know. My friend who wrote the book, we talk about it a lot. “People just aren’t ready yet, for the most part, they don’t want to hear it.” I have hosted 4 gatherings at my home, and I tell people it’s about how to eat more whole. Depending on the group I won’t get to deep in the no animal products part, unless I feel that they are somewhat ready. Some are :) most aren’t :(. I love what Ed Winters is doing. I really wonder how many people find him and listen to him and realize the importance of being vegan and change from his approach? Or if it’s just people who are already vegan who find him and he helps strengthen our position ? I’m sure theirs both. But I personally have found that most people are 1st interested in weight loss above all else. So I start there. My friends name who wrote the book is Kelsi Vazquez. She’s an amazing young mother of three young boys. Her husband is not even fully plant based after 6 years that she has been, and her kids too (which he is grateful for because of their health), but he is very supportive. Her book is what helped me, and she mentored me too. The book is on Amazon, called, “Eat Whole, Be Whole.” She revised the book 6 months ago, and she invited me to write an introductory review :). So you can get that if you want and ready my full story. But also, it’s a fabulous tool to help people get started. What and where to buy food, and all sorts of tips and tricks, and of course, so many delicious recipes :) she doesn’t even make hardly any money, it’s really a labor of love for both of us :)
It can be a long, arduous process! My partner of a year and a half ate a lot of meat when we started dating which was honestly very hard on me -- but I never wanted to push my beliefs on him, instead I educated him slowly and kindly. And now he is fully pescatarian and almost entirely plant-based at home (will sometimes eat dairy, eggs, fish when eating out). Maybe one day he'll be fully vegan, maybe not, but reductionism is hugely important too even if he doesn't ever go 100%@@cryco472
Well done!

I uh… I definitely cried at the end there. Seeing everyone involved with this, it just pulls at my heartstrings. Sometimes it feels like the whole world is anti-animals & the planet. Where I live in midwestern small town US, restaurants don’t offer a single vegan option. But then I see this & I remember that we’re making progress & gaining momentum. I can feel us getting closer to the days when children will read about factory farming in history books, appalled that most of society supported it and ate animals. We got this, we really do. I’m so honored to be in this fight with you guys. Nothing will stop this movement.
Home cooked food wins out for health anyways. Although sometimes it all starts with a single choice. Progress in your hometown started with you. It will continue. I have faith. I wish you all the best.
I was in tears at the end also .
I am british but live in spain in the mountains ,i have to go 25 km if i want a Coffee in a bar that has soy milk , and 130 km if i want to go to a vegan restaurant. The locals are obsessed meat and dairy consumers , so when i see videos like this it gives me hope and strength .
Vegan for life.
I, too, live in a vegan desert in Queensland, Australia. Public barbecues are everywhere and the culture is strongly meat centric. Chains like McDonalds and KFC haven’t bothered with vegan options in Australia unlike in Europe. Major brand supermarkets have vegan options but they are always being pulled or hidden in the meat fridge. The target is to get meateaters to consider having an alternative occasionally. Vegans are openly mocked
It is nice seeing these people and their success but to some extent they can live in an echo chamber talking about a vegan world. It is removed from reality here.
@@robsengahay5614 yeah it's really annoying, meatflakes everywhere.
Have you checked out the UA-cam channel " vegan for kindness" , he is australian and has great video's.
So you see a vegan world?
What about non-factory farmed meat?
I did Veganuary 2018 -- and never looked back. I was already pescatarian and mostly plant-based at home, but I knew that I wanted to be fully vegan to most authentically align with my ethics and beliefs. It is one of the best decisions I have EVER made, and I am so grateful for Veganuary existing to bring the beauty and importance of veganism to people who might not have given it a try otherwise
Such happy tears for this growth with Veganuary. Thank you for helping change the world 💯 🌍
Shifts to veganism are essential to efforts to avert a climate catastrophe and leave a habitable, healthy, environmentally sustainable world for future generations. Kudos to Veganuary for your wonderful efforts to make that happen and best wishes for much continued success.
Veganism isn't sustainable so won't save the world from climate crisis, if anything it will make worse.
I went vegan, along with two friends, on January 1st, 2013. We are all proud to say we would never go back. Vegan for life!
Around May 2013. Happy 10 year anniversary to us both and to Veganuary.
I've been vegan 10 years now - since the age of 50. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Loved seeing this video - hopefully one day Western Australia will be as vegan friendly as the UK - eating out is still limited but the options in supermarkets have definitely improved. Congratulations to the Veganuary team. I sign up every year.
Ugh, this made me cry. A well made short documentary on the whole movement. I enjoyed seeing how this grew.
So happy to see this! 7 years this veganuary for me, and 6 years ago I was thrilled to be asked to be a moderator for the Facebook support group. Best decision ever! Have met so many wonderful people. Thank you @veganuary xx
I'd love to see this reach Japan. Sadly, all the greatest things seem to take 10~20 years to reach the shores of Japan before it's recognized... even then, it takes another decade to be accepted.
💚In some ways you're faster than others, though, right? Tech for example? ^^
We fully support Veganuary!❤
The story from the organisers resonates a lot with us and we are very happy for them with their success!
Vganuary CHANGED MY LIFE!
Ive been veggie since I was 18. I moved on to vegan 2019. I'm 71. Last month I was told by a doctor, after a thorough check up, that I was amazingly healthy, and did I put that down to my vegan diet? Of course I do.
Proper made me well up that! Just fabulous ❤ thanks to everyone who takes part❤
Definitely kick started my vegan journey so many thanks to everyone at Veganuary! Here's to the next 10 years!
Beautiful film, thank you for everything you've done for the animals ❤
So beautiful, thank you for all you are doing for a better world for all from a fellow Activist and Meat The Victims founder ❤ (Leah Doellinger)
Happy Birthday! Here's to many more Veganuaries!
Brits are a lot more open minded than Americans. Great job! What a beautiful movement 💗
Been vegan 8 years now , and before that vegetarian for 40 years, i wish i'd known then what i know now .
Vegan for life.
Lovely to see and hear of how this developed and grew into what it is today and what it can be moving forward.. makes me proud and grateful to be a vegan.. :) Pete
Thank you 🥦❤ Congratulations 10 years! Also shout out to faces in there who weren't introduced like Patrik Baboumian for anybody still asking the protein question please look him up
Bless you, Benj. 🦃
I did veganuary in 2018 and I never went back to vegetarianism. Best thing I ever did. I feel like I’ve won the health lottery 🎉❤
Great to learn how it all came to be! I'm excited for Veganuary 2024 and plan to get family and friends on board.
Fabulous film! Abundant thanks to all of you for your wonderful work! Becoming vegan is one of the best descisions I've ever made, SO great-full!💚
fantastic work all involved!
You are helping the health of people and the health of innocent animals and the health of the whole planet. What more could you ask for ?
Veganuary, Veganear, Veganade Veganentury, veganfinite, vegantecimal! In Berlin right now, and it is EVERYWHERE!!!!!
Really looking forward to watching this 💚 I've loved my life living as a vegan the past 3 years 💚
Wow, I hadn't idea how small this started off. Very inspirational and feel proud to be a part of this journey 💚💚💚
Thank you for highlighting this valuable movement. 🌱 💕 🌍 🦒
I didn't know the history of Veganuary, so thank you for this very inspiring story.
This put me in a good mood! 💚💚💚
I enjoyed watching this so much I didn’t realize the background. I lived in the UK at the time of the first Veganuary and I didn’t realize that I was there at the beginning.
Looking back!! 6 years later Vegan was my best choice in my life, only wished I had understood years earlier
They seem like such a lovely, down to earth couple. Wish them & Veganuary continued success. (Also, awesome to see Benjamin Zephaniah & Derek Sarno make an appearance!)
Some days I feel alone in the world, like I am the only vegan but after going to the first Vegan campout here in Australia and watching this video, I know that I will never be alone.
Thank You xx 💚
Almost 4 years for me❤❤❤❤❤ bless ya'll
10 thumbs up. So awesome. Keep growing strong! ~Tracy

I did Veganuary a few years ago and it was the specific thing that caused me to ditch the last couple of animal products I was consuming.
Never looked back #Vegan4Life
Inspiring to see it and be a part of it. Thank you!!!
Turned vegan at 60, 8 years ago. The effect on my health has been amazing. Best thing I ever did.
Met both Matthew and Jane, and Matthew's Dad... all lovely down to earth people. Well done for the idea and long may it last. Vegan since watching Earthlings 2011 and in hindsight wishing it was veganuary because was destroyed for years after watching Earthlings film 😢
Well done guys, amazing to watch veganuary grow as much as it has & will only get bigger 👍
Thanks!
Welcome!
This is the most important thing to do with our lives. We need more people on board. Stop the. Manufacturing farming. All animals fish etc. Governments Get on board. God Bless us all
Please come to Sweden! :)
The more we discover about how nature works the more wonder we discover and we keep finding objective data to support the way to healthy energetic and compassionate living is through healthy balanced vegan diet. 🕊️❤️💪

good work thank you so much!
I've been vegetarian for 40 years, close to Vegan for 3 or 4. In the USA, where I live, it's either unheard of (YES!) or met with total hostility. Yet, Gluten-Free is close to worshipped....I'm actually surprised there are not chuches! We do have some vegan restaurants but only in large cities. It's as if we need to only eat with other vegans/vegetarians....the shame is so big. Many/most restaurants have NOTHING for us to eat....as in "You could have a salad" And guess what. the salad will often have bacon or anchovy dressing.
looking forward to this 💚
Felicitaciones!!! Gran iniciativa por la vida, amor, respecto hacia los Animales, y hacia la salud de las personas. Hacia una alimentación sana y libre de dolor, gracias!
BIEN EXPRESADO. 🤗👍💪✌️😉
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this video. I am 99% vegan based on my shopping bill. But I have pizza at parties and deserts at parties. I cook vegan food and desserts. But I am tempted by those situations when its in front of me. I would never eat a meat platter but when its a chocolate cake at the staff party….
Thank you for all you do.
This is GREAT!!!
I began the vegan journey "cold turkey" the last Sunday of Nov. 2020. Slightly 'backslid' about 6 weeks later. However, no animal by-prooducts per se, but too much eating processed foods. A little struggle trying to get back on track.
I wouldn't say that's backsliding. Maybe backsliding on your diet/ health goals but not veganism or your ethics ❤
There Has to be a Huge Movement.
It gas caught on big time!!!!
beautiful people.
I have to admit, Veganuary wasn't even a passing thought for me, certainly couldnt pinpoint when I first heard the term. I found Veganism though a simple effort to understand what I eat, purely for health reasons. I'm a part of your typical working class, mainly living on or slightly above the bread line, and I think more can be done to show others that Veganism is more than simply a healthy ecological choice, it can be a ruddy cheap one as well if you're a bit brave and don't mind dabbling a bit deeper in the kitchen.
Can we buy the T-shirt in Australia?

Could you add subtitles? Clicking CC didn't work for this video. Thanks
Veganury it is the new Future2023/24/25....
i am vegan and i have never heard of this but i dont live in uk
This must be translated to other languages, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Turkish.
yay
I started only eating canned/frozen/fresh veggies; fresh fruit; grains; certain nuts (no peanuts, which hurt my stomach); oats; rice; etc. Then so much "vegan" processed foods started popping up a lot more. 😢
Are these truly healthy? Most likely not, but plenty options 🤷🏾♀️👍🏾
👍♥️
Where can we get a Veganuary tee shirt?

But where do you get your protein
Plants have protein. If you don’t know that you have so much research to do. Better get to it!
Excellent I can’t understand why American 🇺🇸 is so far behind and Australia 🇦🇺
I think for a lot a folks, getting away from the ‘vegan’ moniker, to using ‘plant based’ is helping calm down things. Plus you can be a very unhealthy vegan but not plant based.
I like the idea because I like critters and don't want them to suffer. I don't think humans will be stopping or slowing any ice ages. Help people deal with digestive issues, make it sound healthy, and DON'T BE PREACHY or too hippy-ish and you'll have something.
Im doing full time climate research. All the science is pointing to massive human made climate change that will takes centuries or millenia to recover from.
Shame on you Vatican City.
Just like Beyond Meat and Quorn in Europe, UPF food is loosing steam
Well. Don't need these to be vegan anyway.
More competition in this sector plus many vegans see these as transitional options and gravitate to healthier plant based options the longer they are vegan. These appeal to the ‘meat-free Monday’ crowd and with no ethical grounding behind that people swiftly backslide to their old habits.
