Forks Over Knives – The Official Movie Website

The feature film Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods.

Do check this video out, its very interesting and could be important for many health reasons.

Christmas Day in the Forest!

It was a beautiful day here in Suffolk on Christmas Day. Here are some photos that I took whilst walking the dogs through the forest. As you can see the sun was out and it was quite bright. The dogs loved it and we all worked up an appetite for our Christmas dinner - vegan of course!

Vegans, like vegetarians, do not eat animal or fish flesh. However, vegans also avoid eating products that contain eggs, milk and honey. The vegan diet is 100% plant-based, and very healthy it is, too!

I often hear people say that vegan food is boring, well its not any more! Its amazing and there is so much choice out there. 24 years ago I couldnt buy anything pre packed that was vegan apart from some pretty awful tasting soy milk. Well thats all changed, great vegan food is everywhere and Soya milk? ... well its delicious and there is also rice milk and oat milks available too.

Most supermarkets sell vegan food now and often have designated areas for dairy free products, but its easier than that to shop vegan. If you contact your favourite supermarket and ask them to send you a list of all their products that they sell that are suitable for vegans you'll be amazed at the choice.

I wrote to The Co-Operative Society and got a 12 A4 pages back!

Even Costa Coffee in Newmarket does an amazing Soya Latte!

If you ask a restaurant to veganise a meal for you, many are happy to oblige.

Have a great day, enjoy all of November and why not try at least one day of Vegan living!
