Veganism is on the rise and, as we hit a new year, it continues to be a popular lifestyle choice. The health and environmental benefits of adopting a plant-based diet remain at the forefront, and even food chains like McDonald's and Greggs are joining in. Come 2020, both companies are releasing vegan options, making Veganuary easier than you thought. But for celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Stevie Wonder, who have been vegan for several years, one month doesn't cut it. Take Ariana Grande for example, she's been a vegan since 2013, and told the Mirror, 'I am a firm believer in eating a full plant-based, whole food diet that can expand your life length and make you an all-round happier person.'

The Telegraph reported that the number of vegans in Britain had risen by more than 350 per cent in the past decade. It’s supposedly a movement ‘driven by the young’ as the Guardian found that almost half of all vegans are aged between 15-34, with a small percentage (14%) aged over 65.

Here are just a few of the celebrities backing the diet (frankly, it’s hard to keep track of them)...
