California media outlet Long Beach Post is going vegan for the month of January and is asking its readers to join in. The entire Post team has made a New Year’s resolution to give up all animal products for 31 days. The team is also launching a special short-term newsletter to help its readers stay motivated. The newsletter will include tips and tricks from some of its resident already-vegans; website, recipe, and restaurant recommendations; answers to questions about living plant-based; and more.

美国加州媒体机构《长滩邮报》（Long Beach Post）在一月份推行纯素饮食方式，并邀请广大读者们一起加入本次纯素饮食挑战活动。该邮报全体工作人员已经做出新年决定，三十一天摒弃所有的动物制品。该报社同时还推出一份短期的特别通讯，以帮助广大读者保持参加本次活动的积极性。这份特别通讯包含丰富多样的内容：纯素食居民提供的饮食要诀和技巧；网站、食谱和餐馆推介；有关植物性生活问题的答复；等等。

“Phasing animal products out of your life isn’t necessarily easy, but it doesn’t have to be a drag either. There have never been more great vegan restaurants to try in Long Beach, or more interesting vegan options on the shelves at your local grocery store,” Post writer Dennis Dean said.

邮报撰稿人丹尼斯·迪恩（Dennis Dean）写道：“在生活中逐步淘汰掉动物制品未必容易，但也不一定是一件令人烦闷的事情。长滩市（Long Beach）以前从来没有这么多出色的纯素食餐厅让人一尝为快，你们本地的食品杂货店现在同样也增加了更多令人垂涎的纯素食商品。”

“There are a lot of reasons to go vegan, whether it ends up being something you try out for a month or whether you end up making the switch permanently.” Dean suggests that if you go vegan for one month, you’ll save the lives of approximately 30 animals, save 33,000 gallons of water, 900 square feet of forest, and prevent 600 pounds of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere.

“有很多理由去坚持纯素饮食，无论最终你只是尝试了一个月，还是成功实现了永久的饮食转变。”迪恩指出，一个人坚持纯素饮食一个月，可以挽救大约30只动物的生命、节省33,000加仑的水、保护900平方英尺的森林、并减少排放600磅的二氧化碳（CO2）到大气中。

And, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, “veganism is linked to a decrease in the likelihood of developing heart disease, cancer, diabetes or high blood pressure. A well-rounded vegan diet provides all the nutrients you need, including protein, fiber, and minerals, without the cholesterol or saturated fat of a meat-heavy diet.”

此外，美国营养与饮食学会（AND）也表示：“纯素饮食可以降低罹患心脏病、癌症、糖尿病和高血压的可能性。全面均衡的纯素饮食能够提供人体所需的全部营养物质，包括蛋白质、纤维素和矿物质等，避免摄入大量肉食中的胆固醇和饱和脂肪。”
