Supersizers

How can we begin to change as a race when there is so much stupidity inherent in many humans? Yes, I await a backlash for these remarks but I am constantly amazed at the lack of thought going on within many sections of society. This is just a little gem and one of the constant reminders that many humans are just idiots. I watched a chat show last night on which were two up their own arse comedians promoting...

People that don’t like vegans

This is an odd one. I have just been looking around the web as I sometimes do when I am too tired to do any work and I came across someone on a social network saying how much they hated vegans. Apparently we are brainless, smug and need a good steak. I then did some research and found many similar attitudes. At this point I would like to say that a lot of these statements were badly written and childish so perhaps...

Fur coat, no brains.

I stood behind a woman in a store wearing a thick fur coat. Not surprisingly she also barged me out of the way as if I was an inferior being. Fur - guess who it belongs to…that’s right….the animal! Anyone who wears fur when there is a viable alternative is an abomination. Insult who I may, it is downright disgusting. You think so too? The how about ditching your leather shoes, belts, sofas,...

Vegan/Vegetarian Childrens Stories

I often find it difficult when looking for books for my children. So many books about animals show them in a farm setting and always show happy animals rather than animals who are possibly heading towards their own deaths far too soon. So this is the first in a series of short posts to offer suggestions of where to find books

Credit Crunch

Are you struggling with food bills during this economic downturn? Maybe you want to take the advice given by the ‘This is money’ website. Instead of buying more expensive cuts of meat you can buy pigs trotters and offal. Awful you think? Well isn’t eating the bottom of a pig or legs of lambs? Maybe it is time you re-thought your whole attitude regarding meat eating. For me, eating  offal is...

Meat and Cancer

Oh really….another article on how to minimise the dangers of eating meat….soak it in booze! Here it goes… Marinating a steak in red wine or beer can cut down the number of cancer-causing agents produced when it is fried or grilled, research suggests. Meat cooked in this way contains relatively high levels of cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines (HAs). However, Portuguese researchers...

Birth Control Pills!

If you read the post on vegan contraceptive options you will know I compromised my views by using a contraceptive pill, in this case, Yasmin, to control my PMDD (Severe PMS which affects all aspects of my life). Let me say it was a big mistake and I want to warn others of the things which may happen to you (that most doctors will not tell you about) when you ‘go on the pill’. I have had severe migraines,...

Kelloggs Response

Last week I posted up some products from Kellogg’s to avoid as they contained animal parts, these were Special K and Rice Krispie treats in particular.

As I am in Norway, the list is just for Norway so please check in your own country as ingredients do vary, however, I have requsted a list for the UK and...
