Every January, many people decide to stop eating meat.
They choose to be vegans.
The name of this idea is ‘Veganuary’.
Germans are famous for eating sausages and schnitzel.
But now, more Germans are eating less meat.
In 1989, each German ate 60 kilograms of meat in a year.
But in 2023, they ate less meat.
They ate 52 kilograms each.
This is good for animals and the climate.
It’s healthy for people too.
Sebastian Joy’s head of ‘Pro-Veg International’.
People are vegans for many different reasons.
Some of the top reasons are animal rights, climate change and the environment.
At a vegan festival in Berlin, people had similar reasons.
In 2022, 629,000 people from 228 countries ate meat-free meals for Veganuary.
Thirty-six percent of them continued to be vegan after Veganuary.
Others chose to eat less meat.
Some could become vegans in the future.
