Lush Prove Hunters are Extremists

Lush Prove it's the Hunters That are Extremists

Lush prove themselves to be true vegan heroes as they take on the fringe extreemists in the Countryside Alliance who think it's acceptable to trample through people's gardens and watch a pack of dogs rip a fox to bloody shreds for fun.

LUSH refuse to be bullied by these violent extremist fanatics who live in a make believe world where they mourn the loss of slavery and allowing women to vote.

Well done LUSH for supporting the working class heroes who get up at 4.30 on a Saturday morning to thwart the psycopathic foibles of the bloodsport fanatics.

Vegan Diets Go Mainstream

Turn Over A New Leaf: Vegan Diets Are Moving More Solidly Into Mainstream -- baltimoresun.com

Forget Atkins (who?) the South Beach Diet, Zone , Weight Watchers, Rosemary Conley, Jenny Craig, food combining, macrobiotic , The Food Doctor and the cabbage soup diet.

Move over! the mediterreanean diet, GI and slimming world.

The Vegan Diet is the latest (oldest) thing. As Veganism reaches it's 65th Birthday we've seen one of the biggest social experiments into health and sustainability of our last few generations and it's payback time!

Finally the world is taking Veganism seriously - OMG the vegans didn't die of malnutrition or boredom - they've given birth to healthy robust children who look at the world through different eyes.

Old and young, rich and poor, black and white, gay and straight, girl and boy, it's suddenly begining to dawn on everybody what a vegan lifestyle offers for a more fulfilled life.

72 year Peter Gleave is the latest in a long list of people to find that a vegan diet can give you a new lease of life. Even Pepsi are helping people to eat vegan food and find the best Vegan restaurants

Alicia Silverstone Does Vegan on MTV

Alicia Silverstone Messing with nature on MTV

What's all this? Superheroes and Flirters??

Alicia Silverstone is rocking the boat of the status quo and jeopardising the future for us all. She's gone all sensible and logical on us and has written a book called the 'kind diet' andis plugging it on TV and in glossy mags.

Woah Alicia ! Don't let the cat out of the bag! If those selfish, dumbass spotty steak eaters get wind of all this then what hope do we have? If they don't continue eating all that meat and dying at half their natural life expectancy we'll never be able to fit all the vegans on the planet - there just isn't the room!

Killing off meat eaters with Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke, cancer, osteoporosis, Altzhiemers is just nature's way of natural selection and survival of the fittest.

Greenpeace Dodge the Truth 12 Times

12 policies to save the climate and our planet | Greenpeace UK

Greenpeace dodge the truth yet again.

Like Al Gore before them in an inconvenient truth their inconvenient truth for them is that eating less meat is the single most powerful thing you can do for the planet.

so yeah - well done for getting on the roof of Parliament in London, well done for capturing the nations attention, well done for forcing green issues higher up the UK political agenda....

But more important than anything if you want an immediate effect on saving the planet it's getting people to eat less meat. The implications go far beyond the simple arithmatic on gases caused by livestock farming and forest destruction to grow food to feed the animals - that's worse than all theworlds transport.

Not factored into that are the resources needed to treat people with heart problems, cancers, diabetes and host of other preventable diseases self inflicted and caused by bad, highly processed, vitamin and mineral deficient diets.

PETA try to advertise on Police Cars

California, USA
PETA Media Center > Recent News Releases : PETA Offers to Take Sting Out of Budget Woes by Placing Pro-Vegan Ads on Californian Police Cars

PETA sent a letter to Vallejo Police Chief Robert W. Nichelini offering to buy advertising space on the city's police cars to tout the benefits of going vegan. PETA's request follows news reports stating that the Vallejo Police Department is outsourcing report transcriptions to save money. The ad would feature PETA's "Lettuce Lady," a sexy blonde wearing a lettuce-leaf bikini alongside the tagline "'Lettuce' Serve & Protect--Vallejo's Health, the Environment, and Animals. Go Vegan!" PETA has also offered to send one of its Lettuce Ladies to unveil the new ads.

Heather Does Barnet

Heather Mills Vegan Food for Kids

Bless her, Heather Mills is back on the road feeding kids in New York her Vegan Bites. TheDaily Mail mostly want to talk about her changing hairstyles - is that interesting? are their readers really that moronic?

For the Daily Mail readers that are interested in improving health and saving the environment the facts and plug for Heather's vegan food for kids and restaurant are there between the lines so we are left feeling marginally grateful, rather uncomfortably grateful considering it's the Daily Mail.

We wait with bated breath for the "Vegan psychopath from Detroit eats pork pies made from babies' ears" follow up story that usually ensues.

Veggievision, the much kinder to your eyes vegetarian 'you tube' style service is now into Veggie matchmaking.

It seems to be working...."I met my now fiancé after only 3 weeks on your website! We exchanged instant chat messages, had web cam chat and then met up for real. I had been single…" says Christine

There have been numerous veggie Matchmaking services over the years but with this one being backed up by VeggieVision it probably has the most chance of success.

What have you got to lose my single friends? Half your bed? half your house? Get a pre-nup!

Fashion-conscience.com

Vegetarian Shoes, Vegan Shoes, Vegetarian Boots, Vegetarian Handbags and the finest Ethical Fashion at Fashion-conscience.com US


TRAIDremade Boutique is a unique and exciting new collaboration between Fashion-conscience.com and the charity TRAID. The exclusive collection will feature bespoke, limited edition pieces inspired by the latest high-fashion trends fresh off the catwalk. Brand new lines will be introduced every few weeks, only available to Fashion-conscience.com customers. The concept replicates the fast-fashion culture adopted by high street stores except this project is 100% sustainable.

This collaboration is Fashion-conscience.com's stylish contribution to DEFRA's Sustainable Clothing Action Plan launched in February this year by DEFRA Minister Lord Hunt, and supported by companies such as Oxfam and Marks & Spencer, that aims to lower the impact and levels of waste clothing in the UK. The clothing and textiles sector in the UK alone produces around 3.1 million tonnes of CO2, 2 million tonnes of waste and 70 million tonnes of waste water per year - with 1.5 million tonnes of unwanted clothing ultimately ending up in landfill.


Most designs are available in UK 8-16 and prices start from an extremely affordable £20. Never before has supporting the environment been so stylish and fashion-forward.

*TRAID stands for Textile Recycling for Aid and International Development. By raising money through their high street stores the charity aims to protect the environment and reduce world poverty. By utilising donated clothes and fabrics and making the pieces in Brighton, TRAIDremade (TRAID’s own recycling fashion label) are also able to minimise their carbon footprint. The TRAIDremade Boutique will offer a higher-end fashion collection more responsive to the catwalk trends than TRAID’s own street-inspired collection.

Croydon Council Lags Behind in the UK Meat Free Day Race

Croydon Lags Behind in the UK Meat Free Day Race

It seems Liverpool, Lancaster, Leeds, Brighton, Bristol and Nottingham are all well on the way towards a 5 a Day Day Meat Free Day according to vegetarian and vegan campaigners

"A more concerted effort is needed to convince councillors and NHS Croydon of the value of what is staring themselves in the face" said a member of Croydon Vegetarians today

"5 A Day Days are a simple, inexpensive, sustainable, healthy first step" he said.

999 Emergency In London's Unhealthiest Borough

The Meat Free Day in Croydon Campaign

09/09/09 = 999 = Emergency! A great day to launch a campaign to save the health of London's unhealthiest borough, Croydon!

999

The 9th September 2009 (999) seemed the perfect date to launch a campaign by a consortium of different groups and companies to tackle Croydon’s emergency health situation.

Croydon’s Health Problems

Croydon’s dire health situation mirrors the plight of the planet. If something isn’t done soon the future looks bleak. Rising childhood obesity in Croydon is now approaching the thousands and Croydon topped recent league tables winning the title ‘Unhealthiest borough in London’

Meat Free Monday Solution

London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says one solution is to promote having a meat less day once a week, a Meat Free Monday as Vegetarian Paul McCartney and celebrity pals urged, or a Flesh Free Friday as the church used to advocate. “It’s not more meat that we need to improve Croydon’s health, it’s more fruit and vegetables that we need in our diets. Very few people in the UK manage to reach the NHS target of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day and the actual optimal target is even higher (5 portions of veg and 3 of fruit)” says the nutritionist.

Health & Sustainability Campaign Coalition to Target Croydon

Having won the title of unhealthiest borough in London Croydon is now a prime target for a number of different environmental, health and animal welfare organisations.

* Croydon Friends of the Earth plan to launch a Food Chain Campaign about animal feed
* Animal Aid have launched www.meat-free-monday.com
* The Vegetarian Society are launching a healthy eating project
* The Vegan Society has launched two catering guides one for restaurants and one for hospitals and care homes. They also have a CD Rom for schools.
* Foods for Life Nutrition and Health Consultancy in Croydon is targeting parent groups, offices and restaurants with their CHOP Healthy Business Awards
* Passion for the Planet Digital Radio Station is launching a ‘Munch Less Meat’ campaign
* Viva! have launched Fruity Fundays – Choose Your Veggie Days

Croydon based Young Indian Vegetarians, SEAR, Yaoh, Croydon Vegetarians, Oasis Natural Health, Foods for Life, Off the Hoof magazine, Veggievision , Plamil, Redwoods, Beanies and Lush are all working on a health and sustainability family fun day at Fairfield Halls on November 1st that will encourage people to eat less meat.
