    Trusting food

    I agree with you. When I changed my diet I noticed my sense of smell and taste magnified. I think its because those senses get tired the quickest so when you have a change of diet it becomes 'awake' again and you notice more things. That said companies frequently change their recipes and I...

    Is it okay to wear my old sheepskin?

    OK winter-frost. Consider me educated. I never meant to be antagonistic. Only to point out how I would go about it. We all want to be in a world which is free of animal exploitation. I will try to express my views as being subjective in future if it will easy any perceived tensions that might...

    Is it okay to wear my old sheepskin?

    How about motorcycle gear ? I wear leather on the bike because most accidents would be fatal otherwise. Leather has the highest abrasion resistance still (there are textile motorcycle gear but not for track days at high speed...textiles are simply not allowed at track days). If there is...

    Is it okay to wear my old sheepskin?

    Practicable is not the same as convenient and there has to be a line between not doing something because they don't want to and what they do because there really is no other way to do things. We're not talking about replacing a whole wardrobe, just one coat, and it is practicable and possible...

    Is it okay to wear my old sheepskin?

    Oh I agree with you that not everyone needs to do it ALL straight away to be considered a transitioning vegan. I think that it is part of the transitioning period, and that when you have come to the point when you are willing to not use animal-based clothing and don't wear any animal-based...

    Is it okay to wear my old sheepskin?

    Sally I'm just going by what I did and I live in Scotland which frequently suffers from sub -4F/-20C temperatures in winter, yet I gave up all my non-vegan clothing. Again I wouldn't go so far as to give up my own cat or non-vegan friends, family etc - we're not a cult - but clothing is a...

    Is it best to start slowly?

    Going vegan is like quitting a really bad habit. But instead of thinking of it as 'giving up' something think about replacements. Replacing as much unvegan stuff with vegan stuff is the best way to go. Alternative dairy, fake meat, maple syrup and jam instead of honey ... I was mostly...

    Difficulty going to Restaurants

    Always ask. If you are serious about being vegan that you've got to know what you are eating. One essential part of my transitioning has been to ask every restaurant I go to if they do vegan options. If they don't I don't eat there anymore. It's a bit of a hassle but it's totally worth it imho.

    Should we go completely vegan?

    If you are so into eating meat why are you on a vegan forum?

    I'm considering becoming vegetarian. I need convincing though. So, why should I?

    There is an abundance of information out there on the internet if you are interested in finding it. I recommend "Bitesized Vegan" on Youtube. As to the car argument, there's always a bike, walking, rollerblading, skateboarding, self-balancing scooters, motorbikes (which consume less fuel but...

    Meat eater yesterday, vegan today...

    Being vegan doesn't mean giving up on sweet things. It's totally normal to crave sugar. Check out the internet for totally awesome vegan desert recipes. there's always maple syrup and medjool dates and check out Nakd stuff. They are awesome. Yum!!!!!

    Is it okay to wear my old sheepskin?

    It's hard to give up on things you love but it will be necessary. I would give it away and go to a charity shop to find a new vegan-friendly coat. You may have a strong emotional attachment to the coat but that doesn't mean you should keep it. I'm poor too but when I went vegan I went through...

    Digestive system just not adapting to a vegan diet

    Fibre is your friend! Don't cut down on it. A vegan diet won't cause bloating by itself. You described that you had a history of IBS. Your problem suggests you may be experience symptoms of IBS again. The best I can recommend is to go to your doctor and let them know. They'll know what to do.
