It’s Veganuary! The name – which has been hard to avoid anywhere this month – has been coined to inspire individuals to try being vegan for January and indeed for the rest of the year. The charity using the name says that there is ‘a reason for everyone to try vegan’. And that is a great claim. For added to the familiar assertion that we should avoid eating meat to reduce the suffering of animals, are claims that eating meat is bad for us and bad for the planet. For instance, a report published last week in The Lancet urges human beings to adopt a healthy diet that will at the same time safeguard a healthy planet. This diet – spelled out for the first time and based on current scientific evidence – would consist largely of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and nuts – and  would dramatically reduce the consumption of ‘unhealthy’ red meat.

Humans  and  the  livestock  they  consume  is  a  tale  that impacts  lives  in  a  deep  and  meaningful  sense.  Human  history   is   interwoven   with   production   of   meat   for   
consumption,  and  its  availability  and  nutritional  value  as  a  source  of  protein  has  played  a  major  part  in  diet  as  far  back  as  we  can  imagine,  shaping  regional  identities  
and global movements.
