Prize Winner: Ket from NSW, Australia
Ket was a meat-eater prior to signing up for the November Challenge and during the 30 days she found our daily emails motivational, great for meal inspiration and for learning that being vegan is more than just about food. She said of the November Challenge:
“It was a great prompt to trial a vegan lifestyle… I found it much much easier than I expected. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my meals and I’m going to continue to expand to other areas e.g. avoiding animal products in clothing.”
