.. Vegan Society's New Campaign


Be part of a major step forward for vegans!

The Vegan Society wants much better vegan options on menus: help us to create demand.

We need you to make it happen - only YOU can prove to restaurants, caterers and food suppliers that good vegan food is great for business. Every meal out can be a promotion for vegan food!

Maybe your local eateries struggle to provide delicious vegan meals? Or perhaps they simply want advice? Give them a free copy of our comprehensive, full colour guide for baffled chefs, 'Vegan Catering for All' ! You can contact us for copies to give to caterers, or download one here.

Every caterer, chef and cook who tries to feed you is an opportunity. Urge them to contact The Vegan Society for free professional guidance, to improve their business by becoming vegan-friendly.

For further information telephone 0845 458 8244; e-mail info@vegansociety.com

What is a Vegan?

A vegan is someone seeking a lifestyle free from animal products for the benefit of people, animals and the environment. A vegan therefore eats a plant-based diet free from all animal products, including milk, eggs and honey. Most vegans do not wear leather, wool or silk.


Founded in 1944, The Vegan Society provides advice on a way of living free of animal products for the benefit of:

  • People: UK dietary calories from animal products have fallen 25% in 25 years as millions of people attempt to follow Government advice and adopt a healthier, more plant rich diet.
  • Animals: Concern about factory farming and animal welfare has never been greater.
  • The Environment: Western food choices have a major impact on the natural environment and the developing world. For a more comprehensive explanation see our Environment Booklet.

    The UK has:

  • 3 million vegetarians and vegans including thousands of Hindus
  • A further 3 million people with problems digesting milk
  • Millions more who avoid particular animal products for ethical, health or religious reasons.

    The Vegan Society supports all who wish to replace or reduce animal products in their diets and provides expert advice to:
  • The media Doctors, dietitians, caterers and food producers Authorities dealing with food labelling, additives, school meals and other public health issues

    The Society is relied upon for:

  • The authoritative nutrition manual Plant Based Nutrition and Health
  • The regularly updated Animal Free Shopper
  • The trusted Sunflower Logo on animal free products.

Hello

 

For those interested in animal rights/welfare fiction, please have a look to my novel “The Demon’s Trial”. The process of writing it is what made me a vegan, by the way.

 





 

Here is the link to the publisher:

The Demon's Trial


You can of course find it in any bookshop, including Amazon.com, where you can see some reviews:


The Demon's Trial

http://www.amazon.com/Demons-Trial-J-C-Costa/dp/1412086361/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254923915&sr=1-1

 

If you ever read it, I would be very interested in having your thoughts about it.

 

Thank you
