Hi,

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I tried scrambled tofu over the weekend and it was really nice and did seem to help a bit. I've not heard of black salt, and I've never seen nutritional...

Hi

I'm 18 weeks pregnant (yay :)) but I've been craving eggs for weeks now. I've not given in and I'm trying everything to ignore it, but it's starting to drive me mad-I'm even dreaming about...

That's good, yeah I hope it will. I know before I went vegetarian originally those kind of articles really made me think, and eventually led me to becoming vegan.

I also find animal behaviour...

Hi,

Just saw this in the journal Nature (one of the main science journals):

Quoted directly from the website:
"Animal Behaviour: Chickens feel for each other. It seems that chickens might...

Yeah, I've always thought so, I don't know if you got chance to read the article but they say at the beginning that pigs are an animal the general public think of as intelligent. This surprised...

Hi,

Whilst browing journal articles I came across this just published article: "assessing learning and memory in pigs"; by Gieling, Nordquist & Van der staay, published in the journal Animal...

hey that's a really good idea- I could try putting something like net curtains over the seedlings too so at least they'll be protected from aphids initally, as they always do the most damage to...

Perhaps in an idealistic world it would be reasonable to say that no-one should interfere with animals lives and they would just live them out happily. But in this world if the people who care about...

Hi, Thanks for your suggestions everyone, it does seem to be tricky. Trying essential oils sound like a good idea. After looking closely at my plants I've noticed that although my rose and lemon...

Hi,

thanks for your reply-but it wasn't exactly an answer to my question. I already do this in the garden and wouldn't think of harming the wildlife out there, but my problem is that the aphids...

I've searched for and read the other posts like this already but nothing answered my question:

For the gardeners on here- Is it justifiable to kill aphids?

I read the posts about how people...

Jeff- the uk organisation 'buglife' www.buglife.org.uk campaigns for invertebrate conservation and in May this year were campaigning about pesticides (including insecticides) : ...

Hi,

Thanks for your replies they were really helpful. The recipe for satay sauce looks great, I'll try that. I guess I could also buy more ready made sauces, I just find they are so expensive...

Hi,

I'm a new vegan (since march) and I've found that I'm struggling to make my food more varied and tastey. I'm only cooking for me so if I buy something like a broccoli it tends to be what I...

I find this is also a problem with being a gardener. I've always been a gardener and it seems to fit in great with a vegan lifestyle as I know my veg has been fed with my own compost and not 'blood,...

yes, I know really when I think about it-as it's not just the actual feeding the mealworms to the birds like you say-it's the fact that the people breeding 'feeder' invertebrates are being supported....

I had the dilemma yesturday that my husband had bought food on the way home from work and carefully chosen some meat-free burgers for me, but forgot to check the ingredients, and it was only once...

Hi,

I am just having an ethical dilemma and wondered what other people thought. Is it ethical to feed live mealworms to wild birds? I am a new vegan, and in previous years I have always done...

I had to reply to this as I really love invertebrates and think you make some good points. I think they can suffer, as it makes sense that all living things having biological processes that get them...
