Efficacy of Veganuary with the Cranky Vegan
Veganuary has arrived and we have reached week three… but does it really matter? So you have been eating ethically for three weeks now, but we want to know if you are going to keep it up once February hits. Are you eating vegan for your health or because you really do care about animal liberation? Does it make sense to support companies like KFC when they sell a vegan chick’n burger for a month out of the year? Does that company actually support veganism, or is all of this just driving more of a divide into the animal rights movement?
We sit down and talk to the Cranky Vegan (Jake Conroy) about how vegans can actively fight to change how people approach veganism rather than just how people shop or eat.
