No one shop specifically but the central markets are a treasure chest of vegan delights! We have nothing, absolutely nothing, like it in Melbourne. Goodies and Grains is a favourite, plus the asian...

Are there any aussie bands or artists that are vegan? I know Frenzal Rhomb and Kisschasy but any more? There were a few bands at world vegan day this year but I don't remember their names... Rosie...

Yay!!!

I know it won't be a favourite amongst some of the abolitionists, but if someone says "I like such-and-such too much to give it up", a good response is "Well, then give up everything else!". Every...

Glad to read some good news on this campaign for once :)

That's incredible... :amazed_ani:
Imagine how well he'd be doing if he wasn't eating so badly!

I support this 100%.

When I discovered Oreos were vegan in Australia, I cried tears of joy.

No greater single issue has ever been fought in the vegan movement!

I just discovered this food blog: http://vegancookies.wordpress.com
It's mostly pictures at the moment, but the cookies look SO GOOD I just had to share it with others :)

Apparently they are...

I learned a new word: "overgrowth".

:amazed_ani:

I don't know whether it's illegal or not, but I've never seen it for sale anywhere (and I am a healthfood store regular). I have seen hemp MILK, however, in some stores very recently (at about $10 p....

Kitteh, where did you get those sprinkles? They are gorgeous! I've had a really hard time trying to find cute vegan sprinkles here and a cupcake just isn't a cupcake without sprinkles.

I'm in Melbourne, Roxy. I know I shouldn't complain :P

I just think it's wonderful that you guys get to have this conversation - dissecting the intricacies of your food from Starbucks. No coffee chains here even have vegan food options for us to dissect!

Yummm. I made the gingerbread ones last night!

Just wanted to let people know that if you are from Australia and trying to make the frostings they make in VCTOTW, you will need a particular kind...

The dark chocolate Lindt bunny is vegan.
Also I remember there being a Simpsons (as in Bart) brand vegan chocolate egg for sale in Myer and David Jones.

If all else fails, buy some chocolate...

I'm definitely going to invest in one soon! Last night I got sick of my partner's snoring and decided to make him try doing nasal irrigation with a syringe (not the needled type!) and some saline...

Welcome to Australia, then! :smile:
Macro is an organic/wholefoods supermarket chain. There's a few in NSW, just check their website for locations: http://www.macrowholefoods.com.au/home.html
But...

Jason definitely sells in Australia. I think I got my orange and cinnamon toothpaste from Macro.

I've seen it happen.... but it was in Adelaide, so I'm not sure how that fits into my argument :confused:

A barista friend of mine once told me that, whereas Melbourne people like the froth in their coffees thick and creamy, Sydney people tend to have it foamier. This, she reasoned, is because Sydney...

Eee!! Mine arrived yesterday too! I've already had 3 plus one in hot chocolate :o Gotta go easy though if I want them to last all winter.

They are so much smoother and lighter than regular,...

My local Safeway is consistently run out of the stuff! Not really surprising considering it's located in a rather vegan-friendly suburb of Melb. Last week I bought 3 blocks in one go from an...

Oh my.... that is sick and twisted in so many ways I can't even explain.

Here is a much kinder option for Mother's Day from Animals Australia: http://www.animalsaustralia.org/appeal/mothers_day/

I ordered 2 boxes of these as soon as they were in stock at CFS. Can't wait for them to arrive!!

According to the Hudsons Coffee website, there are a few in Brisbane :)

Gloria Jean's have lovely cafes, with lots of warm atmostphere and comfy couches... but it's all just a big deception to...

Veggiemaya: Safeway has them, but you may want to ask your friend to contact the distributor for some other places also, as my local Safeway is almost always sold out :( A lot of organic/health-food...

haha.. just had to drive home the fact :p

There's an Australian version of Starbucks called Hudsons. They don't charge any extra for soy milk, plus they have a light soy option and an organic fairtrade option!

Aaaaaaand their chai is...

New white choc block :D

Sweet Willy also recently released a kind of peanut choc bar... but with soy nuts instead of peanuts!!

I bought 2 blocks the other day and they were ate up within 24 hours :P

But I actually think the Rice Milk white chocolate that's been available for a while (forget the brand name) is nicer than...

It may be different ingredients in Australia but the chai definitely contains honey here (it's a powdered chai I believe).

And I'd be very suspicious of their claiming the hot chocolate to be...

I went to Trampoline the other day for the first time in a couple years (after dinner at Vegie Bar) and found out the "dairy-free" sorbet is no longer vegan. It apparently contains a small amount of...

I agree, treehugga, and don't mean to sound like such a downer :o

I just see a problem with charging an admission fee to things like the Super Living Festival as it might discourage non-vegan...

Ouch! Wisdom teeth are annoying little buggers, that's for sure!

When I had mine out last year, I lived on soygurt, which is fine because I love the stuff!

But I also had creamy mashed...

I went for the first time this year and have to say it didn't impress me.

There weren't any businesses or services there that I wasn't already aware of, the entertainment didn't appeal to me...

It seems that there are different ideas as to what constitutes "propaganda". Propaganda, advertising and raising awareness are different things. The op refers to "lying or manipulation" or being...
