WHAT THEY SAY ON THEIR WEBSITE

Lactose intolerance:

Lactose is a sugar found naturally in milk. It’s important to

distinguish between lactose intolerance and milk allergy, because

milk allergy can cause severe reactions...

...lactose intolerance is more common in certain ethnic and racial populations than in others. In the UK, we think about 5% of the general population have lactose intolerance. In communities where milk is not traditionally part of the typical adult diet, a much bigger proportion of people are affected. For example, up to 75% of the black African community and more than 90% of the Asian community are intolerant to lactose.

WHAT THEY SAY ON THEIR WEBSITE

Corporate-owned factories, where cows are warehoused in huge sheds and treated like milk machines, have replaced most small family farms. With genetic manipulation and intensive production technologies, it is common for modern dairy cows to produce 100 pounds of milk a day - 10 times more than they would produce in nature. To keep milk production as high as possible, farmers artificially inseminate cows every year. Growth hormones and unnatural milking schedules cause dairy cows' udders to become painful and so heavy that they sometimes drag on the ground, resulting in frequent infections and overuse of antibiotics. Cows, like all mammals, make milk to feed their own babies, not humans.

Adopting a plant-based diet is the most important step you can take towards limiting your contribution to animal suffering. Most people decide to take a further step and eliminate animal products from other areas of their life.  It's far easier than you may think, read our Being Vegan - A Guide page for help and guidance, visit our leaflets section to download our leaflets and booklets which will help explain both the how and why to change to a vegan diet. 

Footwear and clothing, toiletries and cosmetics and household products can all contain animal-based ingredients, but there are plenty of vegan alternatives. Check out which products are licensed to carry our trademark sunflower logo and have a look in the Animal Free Shopper for others that we have been assured are free from animal testing and ingredients.

People for the ethical treatment of animals

WHAT THEY SAY ON THEIR WEBSITE

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with more than 1.6 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world.

PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the abuse of backyard dogs.

PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement (Pamela Anderson & Joaquin Phoenix are two of their high profile supporters), and protest campaigns...

WHAT DOCTORS DON'T TELL YOU (NEW EDITION) Lynne McTaggart This is a new edition of a highly controversial book that reveals the truth about the pills and procedures your doctor prescribes. It offers proven alternatives for diagnosing, preventing and treating many illnesses, and includes updated information on all the most recent health issues - vaccination, HRT, Viagra, IVF and more. Every year, 1.17 million British people - a population the size of Birmingham - are put in a hospital bed by a medical procedure gone wrong. The shocking truth, says Lynne McTaggart, is that 80 per cent of most of the treatments we take for granted have never been scientifically proven to work, let alone to be safe. In many instances modern medicine’s ‘cure’ is far worse than the disease. By letting you in on the real trade secrets of medicine, this groundbreaking book is your insurance against becoming just another medical statistic. Back to top of page

El ser vegetariano nunca ha sido tan fácil. Los pilares de la dieta hispana incluyen el maíz, los frijoles, el arroz y los panes, estas son delicias sin carne ricas en fibra y carbohidratos. Te asombrarás al ver lo simple que resulta hacer versiones veganas (completamente libres de productos animales) de empanadas, paella y arroz con leche. Reemplaza la carne con proteína de textura vegetal (TVP en inglés, un producto rico en proteínas y libre de colesterol) o migas de hamburguesa vegetal (que se consiguen en la mayoría de los supermercados), y escoge frijoles sin manteca de cerdo (lard) y queso de soja.

Vegetarianism is growing explosively. Veganism is growing even faster within vegetarianism. The veggie market is bigger than the gay market, yet hardly addressed at all by the media and travel guides beyond a few token listings. We decided to do something about this.

Vegetarian Guides publications include London (five editions), Europe, France and the latest third edition of Vegetarian Britain. Vegetarian Guides also buys in great veggie travel guides from other publishers to sell mail order. Current titles include New York, Italy, Spain, Israel and North America.

WHAT THEY SAY

Lucid Living. Timothy Freke.

Philosophy is often associated with dull, academic rumination, but authentic philosophy isn't safely theoretical. It is live and dangerous.

It is a profound exploration of the great mysteries of life and death, an heroic adventure to excite the soul. Philosophy is extreme sports for the mind. It is for those who relish the rush of exhilaration as they free fall into uncertainty. The buzz of alert concentration as they scale the mountain of imagination, seeking out a higher view. The thrill of anticipation as they wait to ride a swell of insight as it surges up from the depths – always hoping for the big one. Some people dismiss all philosophy as abstract and irrelevant. But authentic philosophy can utterly transform our understanding of who we are and what it is to be alive. What could be more concrete and relevant than that?

After spending time and money into getting a veggie TV programme off the ground and being told that "It's ahead of its time" and too much of a "niche" market, Karin Ridgers realised that she needed to say "How can we promote Veganism through the media", rather than "Its never going to work!"

EARTHLINGS (DVD)

WHAT THEY SAY ON THEIR WEBSITE

"This is the single most powerful and informative movie about society's treatment of animals. A must see for anyone who cares enough to know"
~ Woody Harrelson (Cheers, Natural Born Killers)

E A R T H L I N G S
earth.ling (urth ling), n. 1. An inhabitant of earth.
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, 1989

EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.

With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking,

Vegan Views is a UK magazine that is independent of the Vegan Society but shares its aims. It was started in 1975 by a group of vegans who wanted to make contact with others interested in creating a more harmonious way of living based on Veganism, and to communicate more informally than could be done in the official journal of the Vegan Society. It realises that many vegans feel isolated from society and appreciate contact with, and news and opinions of, other vegans.
