Vegan friends!

It is important as a vegan to know other vegans. You can feel lost in the world of meat eaters and sometimes it helps to feel supported. You can easily find others making a stand about living in peace with animals by searching for local vegetarian and vegan groups.

What is Lard?

Lard is thankfully not so popular in cooking any more but many people and places still use it. So what is Lard exactly? The simple answer is that it the rendered fat of a pig, taken from around the kidneys usually although it can be made up from other parts of the pig.

Animal Protein – why your body doesn’t want it!

I just have to share this article with you about why animal protein is harmful to our body.

EU change to Milk Quota

The EU will lift quotas on milk production. I read this today with sadness. More milk, more cows being impregnated, more calves being killed, more suffering, more pain. This sentence actually brought a tear to my eye. Speaking before the deal was reached, French Agriculture Minister Michel Barnier said he would “not allow the milk quotas to be scrapped without accompanying measures, precautions being taken”....

A Non Vegan Partner

Here’s a question…and its a biggie….what happens if I make the choice to be a vegan and I am with a meat eater? This is a question that comes up a lot.
