Free From For Free - Meat & Dairy Reducers Open Invite at Vegfest UK
Meat and Dairy Reducers welcome at VegfestUK London this September
 |
| Last Chance - Buy One Get One Free on Tickets |
With all the recent publicity about the health and environmental benefits of reducing one’s meat and dairy consumption, people all over the UK are actively seeking to replace their meat and dairy with decent vegan options – but where to start? Look no further than VegfestUK London – the UK’s biggest vegan event and full of inspiration to help even the most hardened meat lovers amongst us.
Making Sense on The Horizon
‘Giving up meat and dairy – or at least reducing our consumption – makes perfect sense on paper, but the reality can be somewhat different. ‘says VegfestUK organiser Tim Barford. ‘The recent BBC coverage of the health and environmental effects of meat and dairy consumption have influenced a large part of the UK population, and many are now actively seeking to give up meat and dairy. VegfestUK events offer a huge selection of food, cookery demos, films, talks, shopping and entertainment, all of it plant based, and can help provide the ideal stepping stone for those who have made a decision to cut back on meat and dairy consumption. VegfestUK events are inclusive and welcome people from all backgrounds regardless of the current dietary status. Around 30% of our visitors eat meat and dairy, and around 30% are vegetarian, with around 40% already vegan, so there’s a fantastic mix of people at all our events.’
Green Flag Family Event
Billed as one of Europe's flagship veggie food festivals and a must-visit by many foodies across the country, VegfestUK London has almost everything for everyone, from superb cuisines and excellent
shopping options from around 200 stalls, to captivating live entertainment from comedians, musicians and kids’ activities, on top of health and lifestyle information from nearly 100 talks and
cookery demos.
Vegfest UK VIPs and Vegan Celebrities

The Trouble With The Vegan Society & Vegans
The Vegan Society has rebranded itself as a charity that likes to say 'Yes'
Many many years of blood, sweat and tears with volunteers or frugally paid staff at the front end of cutting edge veganism is reaching it's climatic end. Vegan Cheese? you got it! Vegan caviar? you got it!
The Vegan Society has gone from a charity obsessed with what it is against to one that stands up and speaks out about what it is for.
Some would ask what is it for? A membership organisation dedicated to providing information about veganism and how to be vegan when now you can just google the word and have your ipad spew out 39 million pages in less than a second?
But someone or some body has to be guardians and keepers of the word 'vegan' , defend Donald Watson's definition of the word vegan in the face of those who argue that honey is vegan or that breast milk isn't vegan or those who just generally miss the point. Some body has to be caretaker for the history of veganism and curate the volumes of scientific research that support the case for veganism and a vegan diet.
To be brutally honest The Vegan Society is now, on an every day, day to day level, at street level , largely defunct, almost redundant as a support network because the job of making a case for a vegan diet and a vegan lifestyle is almost done. Veganism has been well and truly unleashed from Pandora's box, the cat's out of the bag, Being Vegan is almost normal. Big supermarkets such as Tescos are now labeling products vegan and trialling vegan shelf talkers, Ocado has a whole vegan section online. Big investers such as Microsoft's Bill Gates and Twitter's Biz Stone are investing in vegan meat free alternatives and vegan cheeses. Scientists and biochemists are genetically engineering yeasts to make true dairy free vegan cheese. TV moguls such as Oprah Winfrey and Hollywood gentry such as James Cameron speak out for sustainable healthy veganism. Doctors, physicians and health professionals prove that a health vegan diet can cure heart disease and reverse diabetes. Even McDonald's chomping presidents of the USA such as Bill Clinton now follow a vegan diet.
A normal person , on a normal day could read in The Daily Mail that a vegan diet is good for your heart problem or good for diabetics wander into a supermarket and fill up their trolly with vegan ice cream, vegan pancake mix, vegan cakes, vegan cheese, vegan sausages, vegan chicken, vegan chocolate, vegan mousse and spend half an hour trying to choose which dairy free vegan milk to buy - soya? Henp milk? oat? almond? flax omega 3 milk? coconut? rice milk? tigernut milk? hazelnut ? the list just keeps growing. Then they can go recover and pick up a Soyaccino at Costa Coffee or Pret a Manger. They could even pop into Ikea on the way back and pick up some vegan caviar.
There will inevitably be those animal rights extremists who morn the day their little niche, quirky organisation with it's 5,000 members turned into a mainstream organisation with millions of supporters but lets face it - Wallmart, McDonalds, Unilever, Kraft, Pizza Hut, Kentucky fried chicken, Coca Cola, Pepsico, Doritos, Subway, Krispy Kreme Donuts, Burger King, Nestle - they don't care about the thousands - they think in millions.
Now there are millions of customers of vegan foods they are listening.
Donald Watson would be very pleased indeed that so many people now agree with his logical philosophical thoughts over 70 years ago a great way to mark 70 years of veganism.

So You want to be Vegan but Love Cheese?
So you want to be vegan but love cheese?
And your problem is? Why would you give up cheese ? There are so many vegan cheeses on sale now, in fact more dairy free vegan cheese than you can shake a stick at!
 |
| Dairy Free Vegan Cheeses - Vegusto Swiss Vegan Cheese |
Made from rice, soya, nuts., peas, oats, seeds, potatoes and all manner of other things dairy free vegan cheese is rocking the world and shaking up cheese boards and pizza restaurants and cheese toasties and filled rolls.
Sales are partly drived by lactose and dairy protein intolerance concerns, partly by ethical and environmental and health concerns but mainly because some vegan cheese is so good that many people prefer it to cow's cheese!
Even Tesco supermarkets sell vegan cheese now but if you've not had a chance to taste a good dairy free cheese then get yourself along to a vegfest or vegan festival happening near you soon!

Nutritionist Asks UK Govt to Change NHS Eatwell Plate
Healthy Eating & Nutrition News: Petition - UK Govt Pls Change NHS Eatwell Plate
UK Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston is asking everyone to sign her petition to change the NHS Eatwell Plate administered by Public Health England
Yvonne says "The eatwell plate is not fit for purpose, it encourages people to eat up to 34% saturated fat rich foods and many of the foods depicted in the 33% carbohydrate section are nutrient poor and likely to end up stored as fat in the body too. The Eatwell ratios are outdated and need to reflect research that shows our vegetable intake should be double that of the current 5 a Day advice if we want a better chance of avoiding preventable chronic disease. Advising people that they should eat and drink 7% sugary and fatty foods such as cakes and sweets washed down with cocacola is incomprehensible in a climate of troubling rates of childhood obesity and early onset diabetes. Heart disease is reversible with a healthy diet but not with a the sort of diet condoned by the NHS and British Heart Foundation using the current Eatwell plate"
"It's this 'little bit of what you fancy does you good' and attitude that all calories are equal that has led to fast food outlets like Burger King in hospitals and an epidemic of obesity"
Please sign the petition to encourage political parties to discuss this urgent issue. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/62743
Yvonne Bishop-Weston says we should aim for more like 50% of our diet from brightly coloured vegetables with extra berries. Calcium and protein rich foods should be from sources that are rich in essential fats or very low in fat. Nutrient depleted starchy carbohydrate foods such as white bread offer us nothing to reduce the risks of disease and should be in the same category as alcohol - 'At your own risk'
The Nutritionist will be speaking at Vegfest UK in May and September

Could this Vegan Pizza Stop Heart Disease, Cancer and Altzhiemers?
Domino’s Now Offers Vegan Pizza In Israel
The world's favourite food just went vegan. Well not strictly true - we do have vegan pizzas in the shops.
V Bites make one and if you take your own dairy free / vegan cheese into PizzaExpress they'll usually oblige with a vegan version of whatever you like (just don't expect a discount for supplying your own ingredients)
But it just goes to show that if enough people stand up at once and ask then anything can happen.
Dairy is implicated implicated in a number of chronic health problems and conditions so an alternative Dairy Free pizza made with vegan cheese seems a no brainer.
Whilst Dominos in the USA and UK continue to ignore our pleas for a vegan pizza in Israel they are 'whey' ahead of us. Due to popular demand there is now a vegan pizza in Israel.
Want one here in the UK ? or USA? - make a fuss and get your friends to do the same.

Archaeology - How Humans Mutated To Tolerate Milk
From http://www.nature.com/news/archaeology-the-milk-revolution-1.13471
It's not natural to drink the milk of another species. Europeans genetically mutated to tolerate cows milk - most of the world still gets diarrhea if they drink it.
Archaeologists unravel the history of milk drinking and plot the gradual genetic mutation of Northern Europe

Microsoft's Bill Gates Gets Behind Vegan Eggs
No, it's not another of our April fool jokes! Microsoft's Bill Gates and Paypal's Peter Thiel really are plugging Vegan Eggs
Here's what the Daily Mail said;
"MailOnline was able to try two of Hampton Creek’s products - its mayonnaise, and cookies made using its baking product.
The results were surprising, if a little anticlimactic. Both tasted exactly as you would expect - and are indistinguishable from products made with real egg.
The chocolate chip cookies we tried were excellent - crumbly, moist and with a feel in the mouth identical to a normal cookie. Crucially, they also look identical to a normal cookie - despite containing no egg.
Hampton Creek’s ‘Beyond Egg’ mayonnaise was also extremely similar to ‘normal’ mayo - and after trying it out on a few friends, some even preferred to to normal mayonnaise."

UK Comedy? Banned Joke Poster for London Vegfest UK
At this years Vegfest UK in London at Kensington Olympia Exhibition Centre on October 5th and 6th there will be a lot of comedy in addition to the usual workshops, music, cookery demos, films, Yoga, and foodtasting. To highlight the comedy a series of 'jokes in the style of' were released.
This one didn't make it and ended up in the bin.What you you think? Is it a step too far? Is it rascist? or is it just hysterically funny? Is it in bad taste? Was it rightfully censored? or should it go viral?
Here's some of the others that made it onto the VegfestUK Facebook Page.

Whoops! Did David Cameron Just Insult Vegans?
Sketch: G8 + PM? You do the math - Telegraph
UK Prime Minister David Cameron joked as he informed the House that "a shopkeeper in Enniskillen had been disappointed at the dearth of G8 protestors, as he’d stocked up specially on vegan meals. Now there's lots of vegan food going spare". (what? vegetables?)
Might have got away with that had he not followed it with "All the leaders in the G8 had signed an agreement declaring that they would never pay ransoms to terrorists."
Wonder what Bill Clinton will say about the inference that vegans are terrorists.
