A vegan option for the new year

Sir, – Many people resolve to lose weight every new year, only to find themselves no thinner in July than they were in January.

This can be very frustrating, but by simply exercising and eating more wholesome vegan foods, you can look better on the outside – and feel better on the inside.

Vegans are also known to have lower rates of many life-threatening diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
