There is no such thing as a typical vegan – we come from all walks of life! And nothing proves this better than our inspiring team of supporters. From athletes and authors, to film stars and adventurers, they are shiny examples of people thriving on a plant-based diet!
Singer-Songwriter and Activist
“The livestock sector contributes more than 60% of all food-system greenhouse gasses. That’s a lot of pressure on our planet, but by replacing meat consumption with plant-based foods, together, we can give the Earth a fighting chance.”
Actor
“Veganuary is an excellent opportunity to try a plant-based diet, while feeling motivated and supported on your journey by a community of extraordinary people who share similar values and are cheering you on as you join this incredibly rewarding (and vital) movement.”
NBA Assistant Coach ("The Vegan Coach")
“As a vegan of more than 9 years, my mantra is simple, no one should have to die in order for me to live. By choosing to keep animals off our plates and embracing a plant-based lifestyle, we can create a more sustainable future for all living beings while reducing our ecological footprint. If you’re curious about what veganism is all about, sign up for the Veganuary challenge and join millions of people like myself who are making a positive impact.”
Comedian
“Of course you want to help animals. Of course you want to be healthier. Of course you want to save the planet by contributing less to climate change. You don’t have to be vegan – but it WILL help you achieve all your dreams! Give it a try with Veganuary.”
Pro Basketball Player
“What you put in your body has a huge impact on your overall well-being. Luckily, eating plant-based is much simpler than people think. Find out for yourself this January.”
Record Producer and Musician
“If you want to get your energy level right and stop feeling tired all the time, take the Veganuary pledge. A vegan lifestyle will put you on track to be healthy and feel your best.”
Actor and Comedian
“I’ve been vegan for over 12 years now and I absolutely love it. It’s better for my body, for the animals, for the climate and it tastes f*&^%n good. Don’t knock it til you try it! This January lets LOVE animals and EAT plant based!”
Singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor
“Veganism is the first step we can all take to a healthier planet and a healthier us from food, fashion to overall lifestyle. The most important film to watch is ‘Eating Our Way to Extinction,’ connecting the dots of our global impact and understanding why we must act now. I hope you’ll get started this January.”
Actor
“If you love animals and you want to save our planet, the simplest way to show it is by adopting a vegan diet and lifestyle. It’s good for you, for sweet animals, for our planet. Join Veganuary and start your new year the right way- I guarantee you won’t regret it!”
Actor
“During the pandemic, we have cooked all our meals at home and have moved to a completely plant-based diet in this house. When you prepare your own food, it’s interesting how your tastes change. And any animal products become less appetizing when you prepare them, from start to finish, yourself.”
Actor
“Despite all of our recycling, energy-saving, and water conservation (all of which are great), most people still don’t know that they can have the greatest impact on our precious Planet Earth by adopting a plant-based diet.”
Actor
“Going vegan helps the environment, the animals, and your health. It’s a win win win! There’s really nothing to lose! I encourage everyone to try Veganuary this year.”
Musician
“I’ve been vegetarian for over 40 years and have stayed with it because I believe that every meat-free meal is a win for animals and the planet. This is why I started Meat Free Monday with my daughters Mary and Stella, and it’s also why I support Veganuary. We’re all trying to make the world a bit better, so why not sign up, take part, give it a go, and see how you feel? It could be the best thing you ever did.”
Musician
“If you’ve been thinking about trying a vegan diet, and you love the month of January, then how on God’s green earth could you possibly resist a ridiculous portmanteau like ‘Veganuary’?”
Actor
“I recently became a mother. When I think of dairy, I can’t help but think of the mother cow and the relationship she’ll never have with her baby. We can put an end to this cruelty, and it starts with not buying dairy.”
TV Personality
“My commitment is not with tradition, but with compassion and that is why I support Veganuary.”
Actor
“I’ve loved Veganuary’s work for a long time because I know, having been a vegetarian who was intimidated by veganism, that so many people just won’t start because they think it’s too hard and that they’re going to fail. And Veganuary presents you an opportunity to do it with other people, with a community, and it’s not saying it’s a lifelong commitment, it’s saying ‘try it for a month and see how you feel’.”
Actor and Singer
“If you’re looking for one easy way to make the world a little bit better, you can feel great about starting your new year meat-free. Switching to plant-based eating means you’re helping heal the planet, easing animal suffering, and elevating your personal health. It’s a simple change that has a huge impact. So, new year, new you?”
Mountaineer
“I have never eaten meat in my entire life and turned vegan 17 years ago. I was successfully able to build top of the world level muscle and endurance and not only survive but thrive in the -50C temperatures on top of Everest, not just once, but twice! Goes to show that no animal needs to suffer or die for our dreams to come true.”
Chef & Creator of Tesco's Wicked Kitchen
“I decided to go vegan because, as a chef I feel responsible for the food that I feed people and I believe we can do it in a much more compassionate way that can be just as delicious. Veganuary is an amazing cause, it’s an amazing organisation and anybody who can have fun with encouraging people to go vegan or just eat more plants is a great thing.”
Chef/Restaurateur
“As a chef focused on plant-based cuisine for over 20 years, I am beyond grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of the new global food paradigm – a path which brings together culinary art and wellness seamlessly and what is the only logical choice for our planet’s future. January is a great time to begin your own journey”
Photographer
“I remember how daunting the words vegetarian and vegan used to be. Once I made the decision, I saw that it wasn’t a deprivation but a joy. That was almost twenty years ago and I’ve never looked back. Veganuary is the best intro to plant-based eating that you can get.”
Actor
“If you look at the climate crisis or the violence of our food system and feel helpless, thinking ‘I wish there was something I could do’- you can. Right now. Sign up to try vegan this January.”
Actor
“Do you have a sense that you’d like to switch to a healthier, cleaner, kinder diet, but need more information? Ask questions, try things, do research, and make decisions based on facts, but don’t discount your feelings either. Veganuary is a great place to start exploring!”
Winner: Germany’s Strongest Man 2011
“Switching to a plant-based diet was one of the best decisions of my life – not only from an athletic perspective. I would recommend that everyone try it. Ideally right now in January.”
Racing Driver
“I am asking everyone to sign up for Veganuary because it’s good for the animals, our planet, and your own health. Being vegan is one of the easiest ways to make a positive change in the world, and everyone has a choice to participate three times a day.”
