In this episode of Deficient Vegans, we sit down with Stu Giddens from Veganuary to discuss "The Veganuary Effect" and how a simple “try vegan for January” challenge became a global movement. We talk about the real-world impact (from millions of participants to thousands of media stories), how Veganuary partners with brands to make plant-based options easier to find, and what happens after January ends. Learn why many people keep going vegan or at least keep reducing animal products. Plus, Stu shares the behind-the-scenes realities of staying vegan on the road.
