The whole world has been caught up in a whirlwind of veganism with delicious vegan food literally on every street corner, even seemingly "Carry on vegans, nothing to see here" traditional Dingly Dongly ice cream vans. In fact the other day I asked for the vegan option (jokingly) and he asked "Which one?"<br />
<br />
2019 is year of the vegan, a Diamond Jubilee Vegan year. It's 75 years since the word vegan was first officially used and The Vegan Society was founded. If that doesn't call for a party, or should I say <i style="font-weight: bold;">parties - </i>all over the world, then I really don't know what you are all waiting for.<br />

For the first time since I can remember National Vegetarian Week just completely managed to pass me by unnoticed this year. There just doesn't seem much point anymore. Just going vegetarian doesn't stop animal cruelty, doesn't sort climate change and doesn't hugely impact on health if you just swap meat with cheese. No wonder the Vegetarian Society Approved quality assurance and labelling scheme now offers a vegan version.<br />
<br />
Although my vegan sandwich, finalist in the British Sandwich Awards , wasn't the overall winner, Marks & Spencers, Greggs the bakers and Crussh all won awards for their new vegan products. and many others got a mention. I feel my job there is done, I can't think of anywhere there is no vegan sandwich option now, even our local gym. Nearly everywhere has at least a fallafel/hummus/chick pea offer and most have something more exciting leaving all the Pret vegan hallabaloo as all very last year.<br />

I worked hard last year and the beginning of this year to encourage retailers to make sure they followed Pret's lead and stocked a vegan sandwich. I think everyone now sells a vegan sandwich or wrap apart from Asda who say they are "working on it". Marks and Spencers renowned for putting dairy in everything whether it needed it or not (even the Sushi!) now have a great vegan range.<br />

I've now turned my attention to pubs whose accessibility for vegans has been made a lot more accommodating by Guinness taking the fish fining out of their world famous stout (Yes Draught Guinness is now Vegan). Luckily BidFood (formerly Bidvest 3663) one of the biggest wholesale distributors to the catering trade has introduced some vegan desserts, vegan cheese and some vegan savoury items which has left no excuses for the On trade/Pub trade.<br />

Other new vegan products this include new palm oil free vegan margarine by Flora , Ben and Jerrys vegan ice creams, new vegan dairy free cheeses by Tescos, Sainsburys and in Waitrose, a range of new vegan products by Quorn meat alternatives as well as a universal move to remove the egg from supermarket vegetarian products that would otherwise be vegan.<br />

The coconut craze has meant a whole new generation of ice creams, milks, yogurt and desserts that has left consumers with no excuses but to ditch dairy.<br />
<br />
Oat products from Oatly such as the new Creme fraiche and the barista milk has further eaten into dairy sales making the dairy industry less and less viable every week. The advertising standards authority finding that the slogan "There's no such thing as Humane Milk" was indeed legitimate was a massive blow to Dairy Farmers who faced with Brexit and loss of subsidies are literally at the end of their tether. Smart dairy farmers in Canada and the USA have moved on to Pea Milk which has more protein than other plant milks and more calcium than cow's milk. Look out for new brands in 2018. Omega 3 rich flax milk is also a thing now.<br />

<b>Record number of Vegans</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.vegfest.co.uk/" target="_blank">VegfestUK</a> exhibitions and festivals are seeing record crowds even though many other vegan festivals and shows are popping up in cities all over the UK and Ireland. Interest in vegan food, clothing, cosmetics and fashion as well as vegan politics has never been so high.<br />
<br />
Similar vegan trends are being seen all over the world, not just Europe and the USA.<br />
<br />
<b>Treble Top </b><br />
<br />
Interest in veganism is now running at nearly three times than of the search term 'vegetarian' . All restaurants need to re think their menus as a vegetarian lasagne just doesn't cut it anymore. Just substituting the meat for a bit of Feta, Goats cheese or Haloumi is ..Yawn, just, Yawn, too lazy.<br />

<b>Eating Out Vegan </b><br />
<br />
Eating out has never been easier with a number of Restaurant chains introducing new vegan menus. Pizza Express has had a Vegan Pizza for some time but now Zizzis has launched a Vegan Pizza with Dairy Free Cheese which has left Domino's missing the boat on their chance to introduce the vegan pizza that they sell in Israel to UK high streets.<br />
<br />
A string of household mainstream brands have announced their intention to bring out vegan versions of their most popular products, even Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Guinness.<br />
<br />
<b>Dietitians the new 'Extremists'</b><br />
<br />
It's only a few years ago when local government and NHS health trusts were calling Meat Free Mondays a step too far. Now health professionals are saying it's not far enough. Respected dietitians, nutritionists and dietetic scientists have become overwhelmed with the scientific evidence that is bombarding them and reluctantly overturning years of post war indoctrination and revising guidelines. Leading Dietitians around the world and public health officials in Holland are now recommending meat only 2 times a week - That's five days less a week than Paul McCartney's Meat Free Mondays, Meatless Monday and Meat Out Days<br />
<br />
<b>Science uncovering inevitable truth</b><br />
<br />
Scientists have discovered and isolated the distinctive taste of red meat is from haem iron that they have replicated from iron rich plants. Soon you will be able to buy a veggie burger that not just tastes like but bleeds like a piece of an animal flesh. What excuses then for encouraging and sustaining the torture of animals with your shopping budget?<br />
<br />
London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston Says "anyone who says they 'need' meat are deluding themselves, unless they mean it in a ' I need a drink' kind of a way<br />
<br />
It's never been so easy to be vegan and more and more people are running out of excuses to stop increasing the risk to their health and the health of the planet as well as the inexcusable cruelty and death to millions of animals.<br />

Reacting to news that the UK Government is now considering
extending the ban on smoking in cars with passengers under 18 (to include
processed meat products for Stoptober 2016), Starbucks have revealed their
intention to be 100% vegan by the end of the 2016. This also supports NHS
efforts to encourage people to eat at least 5 a day portions of fruit and
vegetables following revision of ‘The Eatwell Plate’ and Dietitians recommendations
on cutting back on meat to no more than twice a week. </div>

UK Vegan guru and health food consultant chef Tony
Bishop-Weston from Foods for Life Health and Nutrition Consultancy says
“Starbucks are not alone. Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream, Guinness, Quorn, Zizzi
Restaurants, Pizza Express, Linda McCartney, Tesco’s, Asda, Waitrose,
Morrisons, Costa Coffee and Loving Hut had all added new vegan products
recently. Tesco have a wide range of dairy free vegan cheeses. Grocery
retailers were awash with vegan chocolate Easter eggs this Easter.” </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Starbucks UK is apparently nervous that if the meat free Stoptober
plans go ahead one of their customers could be prosecuted for consuming a Starbucks
processed meat product in their car just because they like carcinogenic food
and they have a child passenger. This would be a PR nightmare and these days
with all the mobile phones and in-car videos it’s only a matter of time before
someone is captured risking their life and a huge fine by eating a processed
meat product with Starbucks branding. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Bishop-Weston announced that “Starbucks UK vice president Jess
Star called early Friday and said ‘We’ve taken the bold step to go completely
vegan!’. Commercially and logistically it makes sense” said Bishop Weston “if Starbuck’s
offer is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">suitable for </i></b>vegans, then by default it’s suitable for
vegetarians, those following the 5 a day diet, Jewish or Muslim patrons (who don’t
eat pork) and vegetarian Hindus (who don’t eat egg) thus suitable for everyone,
even Veggans sometimes called ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Conveniegans<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">’</b></i> but are actually vegetarians who
eat eggs but not cheese” </div>

“We have struggled, not to find vegan alternatives, but to
find vegan products at the very low prices that Starbucks need to make a profit
in such a competitive market.” admits Bishop-Weston. “The solution was for
Starbucks to make some of the new vegan products themselves using Aquafaba (a
versatile bean juice froth discovered by Goose Wohlt in the USA) and 5 portions
of fruit and vegetables. We have managed to make delicious egg free fried egg,
soysages, dairy free cheese and meat free bacon all from Aquafaba and put them
all together into an all-day vegan full English breakfast muffin which will be Starbucks UK new
flagship vegan product”</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We doubt the people behind Veganuary, Matthew Glover and Jane Land<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px;">,</span></span> the 'start the year vegan' , go vegan, be vegan , stay vegan campaign, could have dreamt of a better beginning to 2016. </span><br />
<br />
There has been unprecedented publicity for the vegan campaign that rides on a crest of a wave of New Years resolutions and fanatical January detoxing.<br />
<br />
Veganism has always been the big white elephant in the room it offers so many solutions for those wanting to live more ethical lives and be kinder to health, the environment and of course animals, fellow earthlings. Something seems to have clicked this year though and it seems to have captured everyone's imagination and sense of reason and logic with a resounding 'Why not?'<br />
<br />
Predictions so far, are, that at least 50,000 people will go vegan this January Veganuary. That's more than the total of all the visitors to the 100% vegan <a href="http://www.vegfest.co.uk/">VegfestUK</a> festivals in <a href="http://brighton.vegfest.co.uk/">Brighton</a>, <a href="http://bristol.vegfest.co.uk/">Bristol</a>, <a href="http://london.vegfest.co.uk/">London</a> and <a href="http://www.vegfestscotland.com/">Glasgow</a> in 2015 which averaged about 10,000 people per show (London Vegfest at Olympia saw 12,000 through the doors)<br />

The features and PR for Veganuary have not been confined to the UK either. There have been Veganuary articles in The USA, Canada, India , Australia and New Zealand too. It seems the whole world is becoming more vegan friendly<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course not all the PR has been favourable Harpers Bazaar managed to find a bizarre nutritionist to bizarrely agree to equate protein rich lentils with doughnuts, whilst Time Out magazine equally bizarrely equated Veganuary with eating vaginas....?<br />
<br />
More sensibly lots of new Vegan Society registered products are hitting the shop shelves too for veganuary. Joining Ikea's new Vegan Meatballs, the Vegan Quorn Chicken-less Pieces and the Pizza Express vegan Pizza is the Costa Coffee fruit slice.<br />

Interest in vegan diets has finally overtaken vegetarian in the UK as a combined effort from public events such as VegfestUK, the work of the UK Vegan Society and documentaries such as Cowspiracy, Forks Over knives and Earthlings has swayed public opinion.<br />

Despite the mounting evidence that a balanced vegan diet is much healthier than average a worrying stubborn hard-core of Doctors, midwives, dietitians and nutritionists continue to discourage patients from continuing on a vegan diet or even from breastfeeding.<br />
<br />
This contravenes all health professional guidance on due diligence and best practice. Governing bodies of health professionals are urged to ensure that their members are aware of all the latest evidence based facts on vegan diets including the availability of nutritional tools such as vegan Vitamin D3 from Lichen and Omega 3 EPA and DHA from algae.<br />
<br />
Presently only one professional body, The British Dietetic Association, has publicly undertaken to work with the UK Vegan Society to ensure it's members are fully up to date with the facts on vegan diets rather than the urban myths that abound.<br />
<br />
Vegfest UK at London Olympia on 10th October and Glasgow SECC on 5th December will be hosting a health summit, bringing together leading dietetic and nutrition experts to help health professionals bring their knowledge up to date with the facts and evidence based research on vegan diets.<br />

<br />
As part of the continuing efforts to Vegducate as many people as possible about the vegan solutions to avoidable world problems that threaten our planet VegfestUK is now hosting a Health Summit for Health Professionals at London Olympia on Saturday 10th October.<br />
<br />
Sadly there are still many health professionals that are unaware of the evidence based science that supports the solution of a healthier balanced plant based diet to common health problems and the vegan diets suitability for all age groups.<br />
<br />
Harley Street nutritional therapist Yvonne Bishop-Weston reveals "I am frequently contacted by mothers at their wits end because of pressure put upon them by Doctors to start eating meat and cheese and feed animal products to their children, like there is some magical ingredient that can only be found in meat and dairy. It reveals a lack of understanding about basic nutrition and the nutrients found in food"<br />
<br />
"Yes a person may fair better on a diet higher in protein, may have some health condition that requires extra omega 3 EPA and DHA, or vitamin B12 or vitamin D3 or probiotics but there are now excellent plant based versions of all of these nutritional tools."<br />
<br />
Earlier this year The Vegan Society reached a historic agreement with The British Dietetic Association. The Vegan Society and <a href="https://www.vegansociety.com/society/whos-involved/partners/british-dietetic-association" target="_blank">The British Dietetic Association</a> have agreed to collaborate to bring reliable plant based nutrition information to every community in the UK.<br />
<br />
Tony Bishop-Weston, executive consultant Vegan Chef and Author of The Vegan Cookbook, has helped VegfestUK bring together some leading lights in Nutrition and Dietetics to provide a line up of distinguished speakers to provide evidence based science that backs up the argument for vegan solutions to the scourge of avoidable self inflicted health problems we face.<br />
<br />
Chef says "For too long many health professionals, GP's, midwives, dietitians, nutritionists, health workers have written off plant based diets as unnatural and exclusionary. This may be partly because of the way vegan diets were better known for what wasn't vegan, what they didn't eat rather than what vegans do eat - messages were full of negative messages, not this, don't eat that, no no no rather than yes yes yes and motivational provocative messages focused on delicious and dynamic vegan solutions. That's all changed. Bookshops are awash with beautiful vegan cookbooks with deliciously inspiring vegan recipes. The supermarkets now sell edible melting vegan cheese, vegan sausages, dairy free ice cream in fact everything from plant based caviar to vegan haggis. Thanks to 70 years of UK veganism there's now plenty of people to prove that a vegan diet can be far healthier than the average UK diet"<br />
<br />
Speakers at The VegfestUK Health Summit for Health Professionals include<br />
<br />
<a href="http://london.vegfest.co.uk/prof-tom-sanders" target="_blank">Professor Thomas Sanders Professor of Nutrition & Dietetics Kings College London</a> who will be talking about his <span style="line-height: 1.5;">CRESSIDA study and it's relevance to those on vegan diets</span><br />

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
10 Reasons why you should invite your friends to vegfest</h2>
<br />
1) It's fun. There's something for everyone whether they<br />
are into food, music, politics, film, the environment, human rights<br />
or just meeting people<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5fqqCj2oLYzpnx2_SHb6_alnECY2kWeFZo-gwqDH8kO3gEBWZ3nF1ofWZPl2DNquMUj9SC5HgDNe76bBb2UsmaF6RRHdu3YvTThBOF4OYX3VH_HcK3IZfzy8AOjNJFkfj75BZ5A/s1600/2015-01-10+15.43.29.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5fqqCj2oLYzpnx2_SHb6_alnECY2kWeFZo-gwqDH8kO3gEBWZ3nF1ofWZPl2DNquMUj9SC5HgDNe76bBb2UsmaF6RRHdu3YvTThBOF4OYX3VH_HcK3IZfzy8AOjNJFkfj75BZ5A/s1600/2015-01-10+15.43.29.png" height="320" width="314" /></a></div>
<br />
2) There's no pressure. They can just walk around tasting stuff,<br />
It's no like a dinner party, if they don't like what they've<br />
tasted they can just move on. Most visitors are not vegan.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3) Expert Advice. Vegfest is awash with expert advisors so any questions<br />
can be quickly answered<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Lb5EOjhPVVJIsE9Dy6tq4pddnnW0MZBkTs24r0CQspiuaVRPImZq7H7CSJmIg_851bnPI-iEtJf3iM4j48oKSS2E5G_XvAlYRUZ6NY-827lSMN6zfFWB-MxVnfBmTyTd_nVZMg/s1600/2014-07-16+17.19.00.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Lb5EOjhPVVJIsE9Dy6tq4pddnnW0MZBkTs24r0CQspiuaVRPImZq7H7CSJmIg_851bnPI-iEtJf3iM4j48oKSS2E5G_XvAlYRUZ6NY-827lSMN6zfFWB-MxVnfBmTyTd_nVZMg/s1600/2014-07-16+17.19.00.png" height="320" width="259" /></a></div>
<br />
4) Bargains. Most exhibitors run show offers and special prices so its the<br />
cheapest place to kick start a new vegan lifestyle<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZ1IP-hB7wgRRQYc__KsBqebW-VCaZ37_qWDNImS8G_ORzQEvtOdn52ymas2Ihzq1VRd96V8w3sp5WNnOVpMkwS1xYaOx1XXPShUpOLYop-IyeAkL0ZQTMob7Cou6eQGwghje3w/s1600/20140929_135403.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZ1IP-hB7wgRRQYc__KsBqebW-VCaZ37_qWDNImS8G_ORzQEvtOdn52ymas2Ihzq1VRd96V8w3sp5WNnOVpMkwS1xYaOx1XXPShUpOLYop-IyeAkL0ZQTMob7Cou6eQGwghje3w/s1600/20140929_135403.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
5) Affordable. A day at Vegfest is only a fiver if you buy tickets<br />
online and if you buy early enough there are BOGOF offers<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPADPvyq1G3WYvG-e2BJzVUoT21YfANjlyA7TWBbYTtLlPFnDAVHghonkHu0MBTgmMpEzTwsalN7PTPiWVQ_XHY5UwIe4FexDpLt2_YFuaDhKjRIoyw99Kf0hrTv9cxwvGJ2_rmA/s1600/wHKYhO6t69b9Ewqz4PjtmkvWIwRxLsMGvPQfvP1XPMdS-EMsYSQMiMPBaWBIn-QeOCgwkgvLZM5L6VQ3FaLCfJRMc_oC8t03pXwRaTrkE_UaXx0H_Si0sHCnWFwsw3GYMIgREup2QoATbyxJ=w530-h494-nc.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPADPvyq1G3WYvG-e2BJzVUoT21YfANjlyA7TWBbYTtLlPFnDAVHghonkHu0MBTgmMpEzTwsalN7PTPiWVQ_XHY5UwIe4FexDpLt2_YFuaDhKjRIoyw99Kf0hrTv9cxwvGJ2_rmA/s1600/wHKYhO6t69b9Ewqz4PjtmkvWIwRxLsMGvPQfvP1XPMdS-EMsYSQMiMPBaWBIn-QeOCgwkgvLZM5L6VQ3FaLCfJRMc_oC8t03pXwRaTrkE_UaXx0H_Si0sHCnWFwsw3GYMIgREup2QoATbyxJ=w530-h494-nc.jpeg" height="298" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
6) Fairtrade. A vegan diet is fairer for animals, for people<br />
for the planet and fair on your body too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmM_TMNMrCdX_xiTf2QsR13Hqjw3BjptK7cR-RLRk1Yf6J3o1cTX3OITDdJSIUzMB7enre_I1jt_20RvRex5Gu0ghC4svFg11AD84K057_Ns4bdvn7FfxEGsjiyy0EEsm4r5CN3Q/s1600/20140802_090235.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmM_TMNMrCdX_xiTf2QsR13Hqjw3BjptK7cR-RLRk1Yf6J3o1cTX3OITDdJSIUzMB7enre_I1jt_20RvRex5Gu0ghC4svFg11AD84K057_Ns4bdvn7FfxEGsjiyy0EEsm4r5CN3Q/s1600/20140802_090235.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
7) Sustainable. A vegan diet needs less water, less land, less fuel,<br />
less electricity and less destruction than a meat based diet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrqXRhfExhc4BKnnf7gCZNmRGwzvhxc-rKP9nHNpb6RDzJWN4b-mrp6SAZwLO8z0j5qmmA1R5Pg5o5TNrKDdrxvweDmKGmMOSPhyuzf-kwVV9V-1FRb48F2B2JW-fbXzhIK8eZEg/s1600/20140808_070127.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrqXRhfExhc4BKnnf7gCZNmRGwzvhxc-rKP9nHNpb6RDzJWN4b-mrp6SAZwLO8z0j5qmmA1R5Pg5o5TNrKDdrxvweDmKGmMOSPhyuzf-kwVV9V-1FRb48F2B2JW-fbXzhIK8eZEg/s1600/20140808_070127.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
8) Health. Vegan diets men decreased risk of heart disease<br />
Stroke, diabetes, some cancers and food poisoning<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpbmJc0UWan2NBZZA92gMdylTmwXNevRqFHutgNpr0hj4wTgVyscYXZUJe9cqlzMSFkFbHR_PhyphenhyphenjEduZQGwZ8bNFt5rjikHJ0RwXhUSGoylawwRMwVq6wnr94ESNHqNgzG7dcYpg/s1600/20141121_182314.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpbmJc0UWan2NBZZA92gMdylTmwXNevRqFHutgNpr0hj4wTgVyscYXZUJe9cqlzMSFkFbHR_PhyphenhyphenjEduZQGwZ8bNFt5rjikHJ0RwXhUSGoylawwRMwVq6wnr94ESNHqNgzG7dcYpg/s1600/20141121_182314.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
9) Kids go free. Vegfest UK has always strived to help vegducate<br />
the next generation to help them understand why they should<br />
try to avoid making the same mistakes as the previous generation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6WjzlEMqmZ0_uoBB1TDBHI43N__6VYMr_7Q1KjCxrvtuh8SaG2Uy0ubbMIG0vEhuf3gTQ0xUeVAH_8ghI11XaePVHc2RcrReIgKOGSE8zQMd9AfhuBLN3KAs9Iy9ErTsUCCL81w/s1600/teaching.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6WjzlEMqmZ0_uoBB1TDBHI43N__6VYMr_7Q1KjCxrvtuh8SaG2Uy0ubbMIG0vEhuf3gTQ0xUeVAH_8ghI11XaePVHc2RcrReIgKOGSE8zQMd9AfhuBLN3KAs9Iy9ErTsUCCL81w/s1600/teaching.jpeg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
10) Feel Good Factor It feels good to shake off apathy and adopt<br />
a philosophy that is making a difference, making things better<br />
not worse<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Weapons of Mass Destruction </b><br />
Whilst not wanting to diminish the fantastic efforts of the Band Aid musicians and pop stars for their efforts to reduce the suffering of people in West Africa suffering with Ebola ( Go buy the <a href="http://www.bandaid30.com/" target="_blank">BandAid30</a> track if you haven't already), and I agree with Bob Geldof, a disease that prohibits you from comforting and touching loved ones is most abhorrant, meanwhile billions of other Earthlings' lives face torture and death unnecessarily, every Christmas, every year, every month, every week, every day, every hour, every minute, every second.<br />
<br />
Every year it's estimated 56 billion farm animals (that's not even including all marine life e.g. smoked salmon prawns, dolphins and whales) are tortured and killed just for fun. Just for our culinary entertainment, just to ammuse our tastebuds, just because we are too lazy and set in our ways to find vegan alternatives that taste just as good, are usually healthier , undoubtably have far less detrimental impact on the planet are fairer and just as nutritious.<br />
<br />
Do the animals know it's Christmas ? No! So here are some new vegan / vegetarian lyrics to the Feed the World Christmas song to highlight that there are billions of lives of animals who don't know that it's Christmas time at all and it's business as usual for the people with the electric prods and stun guns and bolt guns and knives and saws sloshing about in a sea of blood.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Feed the World </b></h3>
<b>(more healthily and more sustainably and more ethically)</b><br />
<br />
<div>
<i>It’s Christmas time – if you're an animal you should be afraid</i><br />
<i>At Christmas time – 5 billion will die, for the food that's made</i><br />
<i>Yet in our world of plenty – we could spread a smile of joy</i><br />
<i>If we ate, like herbivores</i><br />
<i>At Christmas time</i><br />
<br />
<i>So say a prayer – pray for 'the other ones'</i><br />
<i>At Christmas time – s' not that hard , you can still have fun</i><br />
<br />
<i>There’s a world outside your window – and it’s a world of dread and hate</i><br />
<i>If you're not a pet they'll kill you – and you could end up on a plate</i><br />
<i>And the Christmas bells that ring there – are the clanging chimes of doom</i><br />
<i>Well tonight 'thank God it's them instead of you' ( ?)</i><br />
<br />
<i>There's No peace and joy this Christmas time in Burger King</i><br />
<i>Nor MaccyD's or KFC or Pret..... woah</i><br />
<i>Where all Santa brings is fear</i><br />
<i>It's the same thing every year</i><br />
<i>How can they know it’s Christmas time at all?</i><br />
<br />
<i>What to do?</i><br />
<i>Change your diet everyone!</i><br />
<i>Save the world</i><br />
<i>And the children yet to come!</i><br />
<i>Let them know it’s Christmas after all</i><br />
<br />
<i>Feed the world - Change your plan for dinner time </i><br />
<i>Save the world - Change your plans for dinner time </i><br />
<i>Heal the world - Let them know it’s Christmas time again</i></div>

Google Trends reveals that interest in veganism over the last two years has more than doubled. Interest in vegan diets has been steadily rising over the last 10 years but stories in the press about the horse meat scandal, the dire situation about the environment, plus health scares about eating meat and dairy, have led to a phenominal increase in interest in veganism in the UK<br />
<br />
Interest in veganism and the solutions it provides have been noted all over the world. The UK is not the only place to have seem dramatic increase in interest in vegan diets, Australia, Canada, Germany and Israel have also seen ubiqitous changes.<br />

Whilst Vegfest UK couldn't claim to be the sole reason veganism has grown so quickly in theUK since 2012 <a href="http://vegfest.co.uk/" target="_blank">Vegfest </a>has undeniably played a very big part in the jigsaw.<br />
<br />
In straw polls taken at Vegfest 20% of those interviewed said they would be changing their diet following their visit to Vegfest UK. Time to get a <a href="http://veganworldwidenews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/vegan-cookbook-and-healthy-recipes.html" target="_blank">Vegan Cookbook</a>?<br />
<br />
"Clearly any food manufacturer investing in NPD and wanting to break a new product into the UK market would be shooting themselves directly in the foot by not making it to VegfestUK and engaging with the thousands of visitors looking for new solutions" says consultant Tony Bishop-Weston<br />
<br />
This year, in a new bigger venue, VegfestUK offers even more reasons for visitors to visit with political debates and a conference on sustainability. <br />
<br />
This emerging market offers unique investment opportunity for all types market opportunities and those with creative ideas on healthier, more sustainable versions and vegan alternatives to products we know and love but can no longer justify. Products that are healthy, more environmentally friendly and more ethically produced win hands down if they are of the same quality of experience (eg Taste) and competitively priced.<br />

2014 has seen unprecedented amount of coverage in the national
newspapers for World Vegan Day enjoying over a year's worth of publicity
for The Vegan Society's 70th Birthday over just one weekend. A great
way to kick start World Vegan Month in the UK.<br />
<br />
The only
blot on the vegan landscape is that once again Google decided to snub
world vegan day and refuse to do a Vegan Google Doodle Voogle to
celebrate the day. That would have been the icing on the egg free dairy
free cake , buy hey, just look at the list of successes below !<br />

N.B. Lake District UK pacifist Donald Watson created the word vegan and founded the world's first Vegan Society at a meeting in London in Early November 1944 after being denied permission to set up a sub group of the UK Vegetarian Society for those who wanted to avoid all animal cruelty and exploitation. He advocated a 100% plant based diet adding cheese, eggs and honey onto the Vegetarian list of foods to leave with their producers.<br />
<br />
70 years on Scientists have discovered that a vegan diet is not just kinder for animals and nurtures a more compassionate understanding psyche but is also better for the planet and human health with vegans far less likely to suffer from avoidable chronic conditions such as diabetes, bowl cancer and heart disease. Leading philanthropists such as Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are suggesting that we all need to be more vegan for the survival of the planet and the human race</div>
