    Eggs?

    Eggs (particulally egg whites) are good for you and can be part of a healthy diet if you aren’t vegan. We avoid them for ethical reasons not health reasons. Vegans who try and tell you they are bad for you are just trying to convince the world (and themselves) that every single thing that isn’t...

    Raising hens - vegan?

    Well you can only speak from your experience and I can only speak from mine. Our pet chickens all lived long happy natural length lives with no health issues at all, especially not associated with laying. They don't always lay every day no one is forcing them too! I would say most of the...

    Raising hens - vegan?

    This is the biggest load of nonsense I've ever read I don't even know where to start. Chickens laying does not shorten their lifespan or make the deficient, its what they naturally do. Like all pets/animals they need to be fed a good diet. Administering an implant however, not natural at all...

    Raising hens - vegan?

    I’m sorry but your analogy and comparing it to puppies is absolutely farcical. If someone is keeping hens and not a rooster then the eggs aren’t fertilised and will never become chicks. This is primary school biology. My mum kept hens for most of my childhood and again when I was a bit older...

    Is depression and anxiety a part of becoming vegan?

    Becoming vegan has helped with my depression. It gave me something to focus on and to feel positive about in a world that can feel overwhelmingly cruel.

    None diet vegan quandry

    I thin the general 'rule is keep the stuff you already have as it would just be wasteful to throw it away, but as and when it needs replacing, replace it with vegan things.

    Help! milk advice needed

    I would stick with soya, its the most 'normal' tasting and after a while it just becomes your normal. Make sure to get unsweetened and buy the fresh stuff in the fridges not the long life UHT ones.

    Is it normal to not have a 'transition' at all?

    I read a lot on this forum before deciding to go vegan and to be honest a lot of the topics scared me with people talking about fatigue, side effects, craving etc. I went vegan literally overnight about 4 months ago and I don't feel like my body has gone through a transition at all. I don't feel...

    So freaking many dilemmas

    Use the time you do have to cook to make things in bulk. You can make really healthy meals such as bean chillis and sweet potato, chick pea and lentil carry in bulk and then freeze in portions to see you through the week. If you find becoming vegan means you need longer to prepare food it...

    Palm oil?

    Its probably is vegan by definition. But I think people who are vegan for ethical reasons would likely want to avoid it as well. Ethical reasons aside its also usually indicative of a highly processed food.

    Weak, headaches -new vegan!

    I think the only thing that would present that quickly is simply not eating enough. Dietry and nutritional deficiencies would take a lot longer for you to have any sort of symptoms. Bread has a bad reputation but if you bake your own (trust me its really not that much effort or hassle at all)...

    Annoyed at how difficult it is to be a vegan...

    I think at this stage you are striving to achieve the impossible. I live among farming communities in Devon and I think most Vegans would be horrified at how many rabbits and dear etc are shot and killed to protect our vegetable and grain crops. We are too far gone to avoid being party to any...

    50 days in, light headed, not enough calories, help!

    I'm similar to you (not quite as tall!) and have always struggled to keep my weight up even before I went Vegan (only a few months ago). I no longer track calories as I think it does more harm than good. But I don't feel I consume any less calories alone in a day than I was before I went vegan...
