)As Vegan it's re-assuring that we can get all the nutrients our bodies need. I remember back when I didn't know this, so was hesitant to promote a Vegan lifestyle as I didn't want to make people ill.

But the reality is that you can get all the nutrients our bodies need at every stage of life, and there are several sources to confirm it, inlcuding the ADA (American Dietetics Association), The UK NHS (National Health Service and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Academy Of Nutrition And Dietetics link,

You can always just google Vegan source of (insert nutrient), and find many examples there. I have also made a page with lots of Plant-Based Doctors and health professionals, and other links I feel will be useful to others.

I got the chance to talk at Vegfest this year, and changed up my talk style a little. This one is about building confidence, and how I have built mine. It is also intertwined with vegan activism and how to speak to the public.

I went for a swim in a river recently, and to get there I had to pass a group of bulls in a field. It was a scorcher of a day, and the poor bulls had tonnes of flies around their faces.

It mental that they are being used by humans, having their ears pierced and plastic tags put in, then probably killed for meat we don't biologically need as humans.

Veganuary.com offer great help to those that want to transition, and they are a huge collection of tasty recipes too! :)

I recently took a trip up to Bristol. And there I attended 2 separate vigils in the baking sun, which reached 30 C. I'm not saying it as a poor me, but for the hundreds of animals that went past who didn't have access to water, who were in their own shit, and some of them had to wait in a que for around 30 minutes before they were gassed to death. It was an experience that will never leave me.

I decided just to respond to how I was feeling in a short video.
​

We also saw a pig with a huge tumour or lump coming out its back which was bigger than a tennis ball. It was nasty.

While at the pig slaughterhouse at 'Tulip Fresh Meats Ltd', I got to walk around the back of the slaughterhouse, first I saw the rows of trucks, and then I started hearing these horrific cries. They were the last noises of innocent individuals being lowered into a gas chamber, next level crazy. I got to record some of the sounds, and they can be heard here (note the sound may be too much for some).

vThe great thing about living in 2018 is that we don't have to eat animals to survive.
