Hi genisis,
I asked this on another thread as I wasn't sure how to do it either. Back space kindly responded with these instructions:
"You have to have the photo online Tish. I upload mine onto...
I have had 'too skinny' (and much worse!) comments since I was a teenager. They always seem to come from people who are obsessed with weight/body shape. It used to get to me but now I don't bother...
Hi Lenore,
well done for making the changes and welcome to the forum :).
I'm not sure what products are available where you are but there are ideas for sandwich fillings here:...
When I was vegetarian I did not know what goes on in the dairy and egg industries. I thought that 'free-range' eggs were exactly that. This may have been naive on my part but my thinking at the time...
Hi Gooberboggle,
I understand your feelings about the psychiatrist asking that. It can be frustrating when you feel things are wrongly attributed to your veganism.
In saying that, they always...
Hi Spartacus.
1) This question is hard to answer as I don't live in that kind of climate. It snows in Scotland maybe around one month a year if even- some years it just snows a few days here and...
Pizzas usually go down well- you can make wee puff pastry ones, or pitta bread with tomato base sauce, various vegetables and the pure or tofutti cheeze singles slices broken up and chucked on top...
I love this book too. All the recipes I've tried so far have come out really nice.
The chocolate chip brownies are absolutely divine!:D
Oooo, I love the vegan foodstuffs you can get in Holland and Barrett. Their party food Christmas range (especially the wee breaded pepperjack cheesley melts!) were great. :p
Just wish they could...
Thanks for that Bowie. Much appreciated :)
Thanks for the recipe Bowie-it sounds delicious. Can I just ask- what are lasagne noodles? Is it the dried lasagne sheets?
Looking forward to having a bash at making this. :)
Hello, was just wondering what the decision was on the 'mega-dairy' as the consultation period ended yesterday. It seems it'll not be decided till March. Here's hoping the petitions and local...
Wow Oveeja- that looks amazing! I've never even heard of it.
There's loads here I've never tried- persimmons, dewberries, pawpaws- must keep an eye out.
My favourite fruit is passion fruit-...
I read about this in an animal aid newsletter- it's pretty horrific. I can't find a link to anything about it on their website but remember that the article said this practice has been going on for...
You have very strong willpower not to eat the chocolates sooner Lynn!
Yes, the raspberry ruffles are lovely. Poundland are doing packs of (? 5 or 6 of) them for... erm....a pound!!lol
That all looks VERY nice indeed. Thanks for sharing it.
I know what you mean CS! :D
Hopefully enough MPs will sign it and the case against it will gain some momentum :)
Hello,
in case it is of any interest there is an early day motion coming up in parliament to register objection to the 'mega-dairy'. Here is a link to compassion in world farming which will show if...
Hi Gooberboggle,
sorry to hear you're getting grief. I agree with Harpy- taking meals along for both you and your dad. Then he'll see how easy and tasty it is to eat vegan and he'll not have cause...
Hi amcclain,
well done for planning to make the switch- I think you'll do just fine. I don't really eat any sweets but when I became vegan I was petrified of not being able to get chocolate:o. If...
Hi Maggielassie, I saw this a wee while ago- it was really good. And of course the fantastic Benjamin Zephaniah popped up near the end- he's just great :).
I think, like you're saying, it's good...
Good luck with it veganvoo! I'm sure you'll do very well in it :D
Hi Physiologist, what you say above is what I was brought up to believe too and this is reinforced by the meat industry in terms of its marketing. With me, I started to question this as I started to...
If there were no plants then there would be nothing for the rodent to eat either so I would probably just try to befriend it and we could be company for each other whilst waiting to die. You mention...
Yes, you should definitely go for it! I was watching the final of that programme- The Great British Bake-off- and the guy who won it said he almost didn't enter as he thought he wouldn't have a...
Hi maggielassie and Kimberlily1983- yes, I agree, earthlings definitely is a powerful, life changing film.
Thanks for pointing out bold native Kimberlily- I hadn't heard of this before and it...
That is very interesting Cupid Stunt-well put :). It's just sad that these folk proposing the dairy don't think there's greater meaning in life than exploitation and profit.
Before watching this film I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian who was in the process of replacing leather goods and cutting down on dairy. I wanted to stop using leather for ages (and should have done it...
Yes, it's really sad that this issue has come back. It seems that:
"The farmers resubmitting the scheme said they had listened to animal welfare and environmental concerns.
They said they had...
Hello, I know this is an older thread but was hearing about this on the news again today and it seems the company applying to run the 'mega-dairy' are still trying to push it through. It's so sad and...
I sympathise with everyone's stories here. It is such a difficult decision to make. In time you will think of all the happy memories and the good life and times you shared with your animal companions...
Good for you ems.w. Good luck with it, sounds like you've looked into loads of information too which is great :)
I became vegan after being vegetarian for around seven years. I was feeling hypocritical about wearing leather shoes and whilst searching for vegan shoes online began to read about the cruelty of the...
