    Hogwood Farm

    Did anyone see the documentary about Hogwood Farm a while ago? The great news is that it has had it's licence stopped, Red Tractor are investigating and Tesco no longer buy their pork from them. So they are in trouble. This was brought about by undercover filming and campaigning by Viva -...

    Channel 4 - the truth about vegans 10.00 tonight

    For those of us in the UK this programme is on tonight. I'm not sure what to expect, whether it will be positive or if I'll be shouting at the telly. Anyway, just in case anyone didn't know I thought I'd highlight it.

    Iodine

    I am looking into iodine. Nascent iodine seems to be the best, but I am still researching it. Does anyone have any factual knowledge about iodine. I know you can get it in kelp, but that has a mercury risk. Also there is the kind you put on your skin as it is too difficult for the stomach to...

    Recipe books

    I'm sure these books have been mentioned on this site elsewhere, but my niece has just bought them for me and the great thing about them is, there is no tofu, seitan or other strange stuff in the recipes, just good honest food that can be got anywhere. 15 Minute Vegan by Katy Beskow - ISBN...

    Quorn vegan fishless fingers

    I've just tried some Quorn Vegan Fishless Fingers which would be fine if they didn't taste so fishy. They have a lot of sodium alginate, made from brown seaweed, and smell a bit off. You know how fresh fish doesn't smell only old fish. It would have been better for me if they had just been vegan...

    What's wrong with making a sacrifice?

    We live in a world where we are supposed to be able to have it all. But that isn't true. We have to make choices and as a vegan there won't always be a substitute for whatever it is we "can't live without." Sometimes we have to give up what we like for the sake of the animals. People ask me...

    Where do you live?

    I think we've raised this before somewhere, that was when I added where I live to my details. It doesn't have to be the town, just the country, so that we can give relevant advice regarding shopping locally. :)

    The nature of evil - not an emotional discussion, purely intellectual

    My friend and I were discussing whether evil exists or whether it depends on your perception. Being vegan does make me wonder about it. Knowing the terrible things that are done to animals to provide us with food, it seems evil to continue to eat them when you are aware of their suffering, not...

    Money in society

    I think it would be okay for money to change hands for luxuries, but it is wrong that people should have to pay for warmth, food, water, power, transport and healthcare. If these were free we would live in an amazing world where ideas could be embraced and expanded instead of being suppressed...

    Conditioning

    It's a bit of a tall order to expect everyone to become vegan overnight. Conditioning is very powerful and most people believe that animals exist for consumption by humans, simply because they do not think about it, they just accept it as a fact. If we don't eat them they wouldn't exist, like...

    End of free speech in Britain

    Has anyone picked up on the terrifying precedent being set by Amber Rudd's unilateral decision to make it a criminal act to support a far-right terror group no-one I know had ever heard of until now? Once you put aside your feelings about the terror group named, it is important to consider the...

    Times change when you log on

    I've just noticed that there is a time difference on the forum. It seems to be set to five hours earlier than GMT. I hadn't noticed this before. It told me I was posting at 06.25 am, but when I logged in it changed to 11.25am. Has it always done this?

    Vegan artist paints

    Just browsing and found this site: http://www.naturalearthpaint.com/ I can't remember where I saw the post, but there was something about acrylic paints being non-vegan.

    Finding something to eat with a non-vegan spouse

    When we go out for the day a problem is finding lunch for myself and my husband. I usually end up with baked beans on dry toast or a plate of chips. The difficulty is that we don't want to go to some trendy place where we pay a fortune for a panini and come out hungry, they may have soy milk but...

    City to Sea

    I've just signed a petition for these people who stop the manufacturing of plastic stems for cotton buds. I don't understand why companies have changed from paper to plastic in recent years, especially in the light of all this eco-stuff. They are based in Bristol and it's an interesting website...

    Not impressed with the Lidl advertising

    Lidl are doing animals a disservice this Christmas with their campaign showing a kind-hearted turkey breeder, and that stupid woman being happy to eat them because they get to go outside sometimes. Why are there no vegan food producers advertising on television?
