After trying vegan for one month during Veganuary, we brought them on the show to check in about how things are going during this period of big sudden change.

What did their friends think?

How have they handled learning to cook?

What's been the hardest part?

And the question we're ALL asking... are they going to stick with it?

Listen and find out in our latest episode!
