With the start of the new year, many people have challenged themselves to turn vegan for a whole month.
Our reporter Kirsten Mcstay went into the town centre to ask shoppers if they thought they could do it.
Emily King (15) from Blantyre said:“i don’t think I could do it. I would miss tea and coffee too much and the almond substitutes aren’t the same. I would also miss bacon too much – I couldn’t give it up.”
Kate Donnachie (48) from Larkhall said:“i think it is a good idea, as it lets people work towards being healthy. We have to think about all of God’s creatures.”
John Johnstone (78) from Hamilton said:“i wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t want to do it. Just stick with a balanced diet and you’ll be healthy enough.”
Elenor Weir from Hamilton said:“i think I could do it. I eat a lot of fruit and veg anyway, so I don’t think I would struggle too much.“
