As someone who made going vegan a New Years Resolution years ago you'd think I would be more receptive to this. People so often use the turning of the calendar to start something new but going vegan is one tough road.
You can opt to 'be more healthy' or 'get exercise' or 'drink less soda' but to point blank cut off about 30% of the average mans dietary requirement and expect success is well- brave.
The success rate is low. Less than 4% of the world population is Vegan. Pop hero Ne-Yo is gonna give it a go. According to a post on his Twitter "What's everybody's New Year's resolution? I'm gonna try to go vegan. Discipline test. NOT looking forward to it. Wish me luck!"
I love the 'NOT' looking forward to it. It'll be ok NeYo and if you have personal assistants itll be even easier. Otherwise good luck foraging in society.
The Roots' Ahmir '?uestlove' Thompson, singer Leona Lewis and Hollywood stars Dax Shepard and Fran Drescher all went vegan in 2012. I couldn't find any information on how they survived their first year but I'm feeling really confident that at least half of them failed.
It is not an easy undertaking and it never ends. That alone is daunting. Can you go for the rest of your life without a cheese pizza, an omlette, or a chocolate milkshake? 96% of you cannot- lets see if Ne-Yo can. Best of luck!!
