Well I'm almost vegan :undecided

I'm very definately vegetarian, but I've got a wheat intolerance, and a slight dairy intolerance, so have rice milk and vegan marge, but I do eat egg and cheese now and then, but eat egg free mayonnaise. I eat egg/cheese based dishes as if I didn't, there wouldn't be a great deal I could eat at times (it was all I could eat for breakfast on our last HB holiday
I have slight intolerances to egg, tomato, potato, and soya too :rolleyes:

Your friend could look into getting a charity credit card which would also help raise funds for chosen charities

there are probably more out there if your friend does a google search.

Also not for debate but just a bit of reading for those who considering chucking the dairy and making the leap http://www.viva.org.uk/goingvegan/index.html

I'm almost vegan, I don't eat any meat and drink soya milk although I do eat eggs (free range) I think there will be a lot more people turning veggie/vegan after watching the BBC3 show Kill it, Cook it, Eat it. My brother said he watched it with his friend and they were both nearly sick watching the cow get slaughtered!!

Do you mind me asking where you all buy your shoes from? I won't wear leather ones.

Vegan store sell them, I'm sure that there are many more places but thats where I get mine!

Hi bagpuss, I've bought shoes from veganstore.co.uk and have discovered that a lot of new look footwear isn't actually leather. They are much more expensive from the vegetarian sources but they are from non-sweatshop sources and non-animal glue which you can't be guaranteed with New Look etc. I would prefer to buy all mine from vegetarian sources but can't afford to atm as I want my vegan values to include the welfare of the human animals too

I was trying to think of a username to sum up how devastatingly sexy and wonderful I am (I wish!) but 3YO was singing old McDonald had a farm over and over and I though 'oh, that will do'...it wasn't till later I realised it made me sound like some old geezer in wellies :rotfl:
