62. Two Meat-Loving Guys Go Vegan for One Month

Ollie and Liam are two friends who love meat and never imagined they would one day try dropping meat, dairy, and eggs from their diet.   But here they are. 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?
