Resolutions, Dry January, and Veganuary: How Eating Habits Are Changing at the Start of the Year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

January is traditionally a time for fresh starts. After the holiday season and its indulgences, many people take a closer look at their eating and drinking habits. That might mean cutting back on alcohol, trying a more plant-based diet, or simply aiming for a better balance between enjoyment and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent studies by Leger highlight how these habits are evolving and reveal that consumer behavior is becoming more thoughtful and nuanced than it may appear at first glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veganuary comes from the combination of the words \u201cvegan\u201d and \u201cJanuary\u201d and is defined as a movement that encourages people to adopt a 100% plant-based diet for the entire month of January.
