Hi =)
I've been vegetarian for a little over 6 months now but I only joined this site earlier today. I was quite content to just stay veggie, and to be perfectly honest, hadn't really given much thought to veganism. I've always made sure to buy organic and free range dairy products and, naively so, thought I wasn't doing any harm. The media (in the UK at least) has portrayed these so-called 'animal friendly' farms as being completely free from cruelty and have always led me to believe that cows and chickens alike are living out their lives happily and, for the most part, in the way nature intended. But after visiting PETA.org.uk I am absolutely disgusted! How can they call it 'free' farming when these poor animals are kept in cramped, filthy sheds? I've been reading the articles on there for the past 3 hours, and had to force myself to watch some of the video links so that I can have a bit more of an insight into the conditions in which they are reared. They actually made me throw-up three times and I practically cried throughout the entire thing. =(
So basically, I'm wondering what sort of things are okay to eat. I usually have the Quorn meals and faux meat products, but, as far as I'm aware, these are only vegetarian foods. What sort of vegan products are available on the market, and where can you buy them? I live in England by the way.
Thank you in advance =D
