OpenDoor – The Vegan Society 1976

Just a quick share while the blog is under refurbishment! As I'm sure you know, I'm a very big 70s fan, and since I have recently returned to veganism, I thought this very 70s 30 minute BBC documentary on veganism was rather lovely. Completely dated of course (we have so much more choice today) but …

Choices, Changes

Over the last few years, I have moved from a Paleo type of diet to Vegan and back again several times. This blog had 'From Paleo to Vegan in one easy midlife crisis' as its subtitle at one stage. The truth is, though, that it hasn't been 'one easy midlife crisis' at all of course, …
