After Veganuary, what’s the future of food without meat and dairy?

The movement has grown exponentially in the past five years – but, asks Lizzie Rivera, is the way all vegan food is produced as ethical as the eater might think?

Today officially marks the end of Veganuary, a month of leafy greens, avocados and almond milk plus Subway’s meatless meatball marinara, KFC’s Quorn chicken burger and, of course, Gregg’s infamous vegan sausage roll.

So, what comes next? Well, around 50 per cent of those that took part will continue to follow a vegan diet – for a while longer, at least.

The rest will, possibly, turn their dreams of a crispy bacon sandwich into a reality this morning.
