.... and don't give up. Appeal, make a nuisance of yourself, contact your MP. Don't accept anything you are told. And DO try the CAB route - they will tell you as it is.
Very informative, thank you. My attitude to all nutrients is that the body is a finely tuned machine that nevertheless can cope reasonably flexibly with short term excesses or insufficiency of...
Thank you. Much as expected. I have made the traditional journey from the meat-and-two-veg upbringing to vegetarianism to veganism. Over a life time. I have found it an easy and natural process, a...
Blackstealth - I have issues with bright light and this is the bee's knees
Same here, very good article. I have to admit that, having parted company with mine at the age of 9, I had always accepted what I was told then - that it was a left over from an earlier stage of...
Perhaps give idiot examples for the less receptive (such as me;)) as to what the daily requirements are, e.g. xx millilitres of a B12 enhanced soya milk will provide xx% of your daily requirements,...
Can't say that I've noticed for myself, but there again sleep patterns are controlled by so many things - food, drink, work patterns, family demands, whatever worries are cooking at that time, the...
I understand. I think that if your house plants are covered then there is not much you can do to get rid of the aphids without killing them (the aphids) in some diabolical manner, and then using...
Hello Thyme; not a difficult question, for me at least. I grow my own and have a lovely shrub and flower garden too. I decided a long time ago that the use of anything that killed anything was not...
Unquestionably yes - for me, anyway. But not just as a matter of convenience. I have inherited a genetic condition that killed my father at 43 and his mother at 36. Fortunately, with advances in...
In my humble opinion there is one, and only one justifiable reason to interfere in the lives of wild animals, and that is to save endangered species from extinction by 'protecting' them in whatever...
Well thank you very much .... had to include the steam to prove it was 'live' - in a strictly non-animal sense, of course;)
6am: bucket of strong black coffee with 1/2 pint of soya milk chaser. Two apples (reluctantly).
11am: tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a pint of water. Peanut butter on two slices of toast....

In process of cooking yesterday - tofu and vegetable stir fry. 10 mins preparation, 10 mins cooking. Now who can argue...
How true - in all walks of life.
There was a programme on 'How do they do it?' on one of the Sky channels the other night, probably a repeat, about mass egg production. I feel that you would only...
I have to admit that I would have a problem with anybody who tried to impose their opinions on me, be they vegetarians, other religions, politics, etc. Educated and sensible discussion - yes. But...
Yes, thank you. Seems a simple enough issue, for me at least. It doesn't matter how it died, it is off limits. And would be too if I was an omnivore as it would no doubt be contaminated. Plus, I...
Unfortunately, nothing. The thought of food before about midday makes me feel ill. I have been told frequently that that is very naughty, that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, stops...
I was discussing this very thing with my wife today. It depends how into 'labels' you are. Labels don't do a lot for me - life is not black and white. However, to identify yourself with a group of...
Thanks for that - obviously hasn't reached this neck of the woods yet. I'm not paying that for it anyway!
I never really used to drink dairy milk anyway, so I have not had to find a replacement as such - it has been more an issue of remembering to drink a large glass of soya milk to get the B12. I find...
Too much, it seems, as my bid to lose a pound a week has come unstuck. I must learn that all though I am no longer eating anything naughty I can't simply eat as much as I want!
Can't say I remember any of my dreams having featured eating or drinking. Those that might have done are more likely to have involved ME being the menu, which, actually, is why I am up at 2.40 am...
Thanks - will bear that in mind. My problem with postal stuff is that I live in the middle of nowhere; the postman won't come up my track so I have a box 1/3 mile away. I'll be having to make the box...
Thanks - have had a quick look. Looks like the postman's going to be busy!
Until recently the nearest Tesco was 60 miles from here. Last year one was built 30 miles away , so we thought we'd give it a try yesterday. Lovely store - brand spanking new, roomy, bright, well...
I suppose you could, initially at least, disguise the veg with sauces, seasoning etc, as suggested. Or perhaps try different, more flavoursome varieties. Take lettuce, for example; I find the Cos and...
I don't think you will put anyone's back up, Kayleigh; we are all entitled to our opinions and to express them forcefully, as long as we understand that there are others who may have other points of...
Might try that when it gets warmer, then, and get a couple of plastic ones and hope she doesn't notice;)
I don't 'do' pets myself for virtually all the reasons mentioned in the poll, but my wife likes a cat or two about the place. She has agreed with my request not to throw money after commercially bred...
Not having a sweet tooth, I would say cherries, the sharper apples and cranberries (in juice form and naturally sweetened with grape juice). Tried blueberries once on account of their supposed wonder...
I have to say that my diet is a little extreme at present as I am still on my post Christmas detox and trying to lose 1lb a week in weight for 4 months.
Breakfast - 3 portions of fruit, several...
