When asked by interviewer Dan Walker if he would be taking part, he said: No, Im not, no Im not. I had thought of it but it requires so much concentration.<\/p>\n
While Johnson tipped his hat off to vegans who can handle it, who can manage to avoid non-vegan products, he added that eating vegan was a crime against cheese lovers.<\/p>\n
Walker asked the prime minister whether it was because he would miss bacon sandwiches, to which he replied: The whole lot.<\/p>\n
I mean, you cant eat cheese, can you, if youre a vegan? Johnson asked.<\/p>\n
The Prime Ministers comments have caused a stir on social media with one user saying: Boris Johnson says he considered going vegan for January but decided against it because it requires so much concentration. (Just a reminder that hes the Prime Minister!).<\/p>\n
Johnson has also been mocked for his pronunciation of the word vegan, which he sometimes said as vee-gan, that saw users flock online to share their thoughts.<\/p>\n
One user said: The way Boris Johnson says Vegan makes me giggle. Vee-gan like an alien species, whilst another agreed adding: Whats a Vee Gan @BorisJohnson? The vegan part of Veganuarys portmanteau isnt pronounced like that!<\/p>\n
The Vee Gan race were at space war with the Klingons deep in the fifth star quadrant.<\/p>\n
Veganuary has hit back at his statements to say that vegans can definitely still enjoy cheese, with plenty of vegan options available on the market today.<\/p>\n
The idea that trying vegan means depriving yourself of cheesy foods is outdated and untrue, refutes Toni Vernelli, Veganuarys International Head of Communications.<\/p>\n
Vegan-friendly cheeses are available in every grocery store and you can now even upgrade to vegan cheese at Papa Johns and Pizza Hut. There are really no more excuses.<\/p>\n
