10 Myths about Vegans
1. Vegans are the pale anemic bunch No way Jose! Get yourself a bucket of cold water before you click into Vegan bodybuilders. Olympic champion Carl Lewis, gorgeous Alicia Silverstone and hot Joaquin Phoenix are amongst famous vegan hotties. You may find the list of vegan celebsat www.goveg.com. 2. If you want to know what’s in fashion, don’t bother asking a vegan The best fashion accessory for Vegans is the one matching their beliefs. The mainstream has now caught on that “Green is the new Black” and compassion in fashion is in vogue. Stella McCartney is one among many designers who refuses to use fur or leather in any of her prêt-a-porter collections. 3 vegans live on rabbit food Vegans love their rabbit food but they also love to tantilise their taste buds with scrumptious cuisines from around the world. Does the sound of Brazil Nut Choc Temptation sound too good to be vegan? Go to www.veginity.comfor this recipe and more. For delectable ice cream, try B’Nice Rice Cream. 4 Vegan = Stylish footwear = Oxymoron ….. not any more! Happy Vegan feet can now step out in style with stores like Bourgeois Boheme, www.bboheme.com. Footwear and accessories for both men and women are ethically sourced from around the world. Look out for the new collection under their own label coming out in the vegan month of November. 5 Vegans love animals more than people The furry, scaly and warty ones are their passion but high on their priorities too is the welfare of their fellow 2-legged Homo sapiens variety too. Wherever possible, vegans look out for fair trade produce; see The Fair Trade Foundationfor further information. 6.Vegans love animals more than people The furry, scaly and warty ones are their passion but high on their priorities too is the welfare of their fellow 2-legged Homo sapiens variety too.

Vegans will not rest until they convert the entire world into Vegans They would love everyone to be vegan of course but they do understand that this is the real world. Another way around is to set up a little country of vegans! One group hopes to purchase an island to establish their very own vegan island community. 8. Vegans are all crazy animal rights activists There are many passive ways to be the voice for animals and to have fun at the same time. One such “cheeky” way is getting for them to get their gear off and run nude along the streets of Pamplona. Intrigued? Go to PETA’s (People for the Ethical treatment of Animals) www.runningofthenudes.comfor more details. 9. Vegans are tree huggers Indeed they are and they love hugging lots of other things too! Actually, veganism and environmentalism go hand in hand. Did you know that farmed animals, cow’s flatulence for one, produce more greenhouse gas emissions (18%) than the world’s entire transport system (13.5%)? Go to the Vegan Society for further interesting facts. 10. Vegans have a chip on their shoulders “Let’s say you were stranded on a deserted island and your only food source was a turtle, would you eat it…?” Vegans are bombarded with such absurd scenarios everyday; it’s not surprising that they may snap back!

Re: !0 Myths about Vegans
I just don't understand that statement at all. What do you mean by it? All vegetarians are 'good' people? To be 'good', you have to be a vegetarian/vegan? What do you mean by 'good'?

Re: !0 Myths about Vegans
Being weak and tired means you aren't eating right and meat does not have to be part of that. There are vegan body builders. It's not about protein, it's about calories.
Eat lots of nuts. Lots and lots of nuts. And bananas. |

1 large tin of butter beans, drained and rinsed in cold water. Put in a pan with half a pint of vegetable stock. (stock cube will do). Cook the butter beans in the stock until the water is mostly absorbed, then mash and add Dijon mustard and flat leaved parsley. I add some tamari sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with salad or have on crispy toast with tomatoes, etc. No ones a rubbish person for not going back. You did more than most and tried it. If you did have all those foods you should have had, and still felt tired, etc. maybe you were missing some essential trace element. I have some vitimins specially for vegans and vegetarians. Also, I really recommend Manuka honey. I know it's expensive, but it really is good for you. Try taking a couple of teaspoons a day with cider vinegar. It's a good tonic if you're run down. Yes, I suppose quorn is a bit meaty - maybe there's still a ravening carnivore somewhere inside me trying to get out. Raarrrrr! I love all the Caldron things! |

Re: !0 Myths about Vegans
I thought a fetilised egg was a chicken.
I have noticed a red dot in some raw eggs and apparently this can be a sign is was fertilised, but can also just be a spot of blood from the hen. I had never considered this in the past and it's worrying me slightly. |
