    Talking Bonjour!!

    Bonjour!

    I am new on the forum and already had to apologize (i feel very silly now!)
    To err is human i guess...

    Anyway, i am glad i have found your forum because it is absolutely packed with info and tips which is so enjoyable!

    You all guys sound very friendly and very aware of everything useful on the subject.
    I am struggling at the moment buying food because anytime i look at the label and think its fine i come home and a few hours later i am reading a book or something about veganism amd i realize that actually there is animal by-product in the stuff i've just bought...the thing is that i have to deal with it absolutely on my own as my flatmate is veggie and she doesn't understand why i am vegan..it is really controversial. i think that now it is time i make some vegan friends so we can share experience. I know that after a while i'll be more and more confident about it but still after being veggie for a year and a half now i feel like i have to go through an entirely new process again. Still everyday that goes on i feel better and better and every little action we take is a few animal lives saved

    So i have to tell you thanks again because i've spent only a few hours on theses forums and it has helped a lot.

    merci beaucoup

    ps: i am a french teaching assistant in the uk and i am so glad i am in this country because it sounds more militant for animal welfare and veganism. i guess when i go back home i'll be ready to speak my mind in a very effective way.

    Hi. Welcome to the forum. Do you like cooking? I think if you buy just simple ingredients and cook your meals yourself, that will solve the problem of worrying about ingredient lists. I find if I can't pronounce/have never heard of an ingredient, then I don't buy the product (unless I've checked it out/it has a vegan label on it).

    Hi, Welcome to the forum! U.K rocks for vegans. Glad you joined us.

    By the way there are quite a few (cool) forumers who live in West Yorkshire. I live in Leeds, not far from you. We also have a very active local vegan group here if you wish to get involved.

    Good luck

    Hi Italhaya, I'm in Leeds too. Looks like there's quite a few of us up here! Hope to see you sometime at one of the local group meet-ups. Feel free to pm if you need any details. Glad you're liking it here in the UK

    We also have regular meet-ups all over the country, more often in London as it's easiest for most people to get to. It's a great way to meet and get to know other vegans, so if you haven't already it's perhaps worth taking a look at the UK Meet-ups Section

    I love that book too! Coincidentally, Sarah Kramer lives in Victoria BC, same as me! I've been by her tattoo shop before because it's right next to "The Joint" pizzaria which serves vegan pizza. She says in "La Dolce Vegan" that she eats there every day, but I've never seen her! I hope to sometime though.
