What’s wrong with buying Ribena?

It’s a good question. Well, Ribena belongs to Glaxo Smith Kline, who still test on animals. Hm, surely it’s only the pharmaceutical’s that still test on animals isn’t it. Hmm. No. I am the first to admit being naive. I was prompted this weekend to know more about the companies to avoid. Now, I do actually get a bit annoyed when people challenge me about this. I am a vegan. I don’t...

Guest Article & Great Tofu Burger Recipe!

I was recently contacted by Martha Volz , who writes for the Vegetarian Supplements site, her personal passion blog devoted to vegetarian healthy eating ideas. She asked if she could write an article for Shout Vegan about new research from the United Nations (UN) that suggests a correlation between climate change and meat consumption. After reading the article, and the great recipe which I will be testing...

Acceptance.

I’ve had a good vegan week and thought I would share a few things in a short post. On Friday I took the children to a family wedding. My mum had dutifully informed the family that I am vegan and my children vegetarian. I was brought a fabulous meal, hollowed crisp aubergine with roasted mushrooms inside, roast potatoes and bread. The kids had pasta and garlic bread. I must say I got a few jealous looks...

Don’t let them lift the whaling ban - act quickly.

Don’t allow those ignorant selfish bastards who make our decisions lift the ban on whaling. Do something NOW. There are only 2 days left to knock some sense into these people. Visit the below site and add your voice. Spread the word on twitter, facebook, on your blog, comment on the news sites, demonstrate. In other words, make a BIG DEAL of this. It is unacceptable, sickening and downright immoral. DO...

What I don’t know

It has recently occurred to me that I have been living safe as a vegan. When I first became a vegan I was talking about animal rights all the time. I seem to have settled into a lifestyle where I now live quietly with my views. I have not posted often enough and not made a fuss about the things I should have been. In Wales there is a huge badger cull going on, small independent companies everywhere that used...

My local Chinese!

Down the bottom of my road is a wonderful, if not a little strange, Chinese take away. Run by quite an eccentric lady who always gives a free gift, be in a bunch of grapes or a can of beer, it is a joy. I must admit I have partaken of the goodies on offer there about 4 times in the last month but it keeps me going back. It is called Sunlan and if you are ever in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, you must give it a...

The UK

Well it’s over a month since I said goodbye to Norway and returned to the place I used to call home, the UK. Life here seems quite unchanged. Walking into a store to be able to buy vegan options off the shelf felt a world away from what I had left. Each day consisting of planning menus from scratch and making sure I had the ingredients I needed from stores often an hours drive away. I must say the first few...

Leaving Norway

So tomorrow the children and I pack up and hope our flight to London goes without a hitch. I have seen the chaos the snow in the UK has caused and hope things have calmed down a bit. At least our pilot will be used to landing in snow and ice! I haven’t posted for a while as busy running around getting organised and also we were all hit with H1N1 which knocked us out for around 3 weeks! I am looking forward...

We’re playing double standards again!

Yesterday I read the below article from the Telegraph with interest. I would have posted it up straight away had I not been in bed with the flu. However, upon dragging myself up today I thought  the first thing I wanted to do was highlight the hypocrisy yet again in our society.  Please read this article (and take note if it makes you angry or upset) and I will continue… Up to a million Hindus gathered...

Food Inc

Last night we watched ‘Food Inc’, a documentary film about the food industry. I must say, as a vegan, I think I know a lot about food production, turns out not as much as I should! This film is a must for everyone, it is not a film which asks you to go vegan but rather explains how the big corporations really don’t care about farmers or about you and your families safety. As a vegan I often...
