Understanding VeganismAs this earth starts to raise it's love vibration, the human species will very likely reach a point (eventually) where we gently and lovingly move away from the idea of killing animals for our food & produce. And this is a very natural and logical first step towards becoming vegan - to avoid killing another living being.
The second layer of being vegan lies in the idea that we are not wanting to ingest anything that has come from an animal, the most obvious examples of these being animal milks, cheese, yoghurts or eggs. With the growing popularity of processed foods, this has now also meant that many vegans are unable to eat things like biscuits, crisps and the like because manufacturers are now putting milk solids and other non-vegan friendly animal products into these types of 'foods'. Overall though (and perhaps most importantly of all) being vegan is not only about the food - it is a philosophy that means we do not want to create suffering, harm or pain for another living being. This is a choice to live our life in the most harmonious and loving way that we can so that we can share our love & loving kindness with one another for a healthier & happier world. |

What Do Vegans Eat?
When people find out that we are vegan, the most common question we get by far normally centres around what types of foods we eat. So with our website, we aim to share with you some of the basics around being vegan. Whether its raw food dishes, raw blending, cooking from scratch or doing quick and easy type vegan meals, our website is a place where we try to inspire a new way of thinking about food. Here is a very simple vegan food pyramid to help you to see what a normal vegan will eat:
To help you get a better feel for what it would be like to be vegan, here is a very small selection of things that we might eat during each day. We have also tried to provide a fairly large selection of vegan recipes here in our food & drinks section. In addition to this, we often find that most recipes are vegan-isable by simply exchanging meat & dairy for vegan substitutes.
