Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Is animal free shopper by the vegan soc any good? Amazon has some pretty critical reviews. Its not actually available from the vegan website at the moment, and from reading through previous threads here, I've worked out that they are going to print a new edition soon So far, I've worked out that the coop clearly labels whether wine is vegan or not, and that heineken is a vegan lager (from this website). Any other tips or help welcome Thanks Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi, I must admit to never having found it that useful. And given that most supermarkets are at least beginning to label their products as vegan, it is perhaps not as necessary as it once was. That said, I have found non-food products in it before that I didn't know about. And there will indeed be a new edition out soon (I've just spent the weekend proofreading it!), so if you do want a copy, I'd leave off trying to get hold of one until the new one is available.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 IAWTC - I picked up a couple of free ones at BVF and by far the most use has been the non-food products. The one other thing that it was really useful for, though, was providing a copy for my parents who aren't inclined to do the research but were appreciative of a bit of guidance on what they could feed me.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 The animal free shopper is the best reference in book form around. There are various web sites (including a web based version by the vegan society ) However, once you get to know the basics I found that you dont realy need it. Best bet if in doubt ...leave it out. try making stuff from scratch in bulk, thats what I do ( curries & chillies & pies etc ), and freeze the extra meals. Have you considered joining the vegan society?, you get a magazine 4 times a year which has a lot of helpful stuff, plus information on all sorts of other vegan topics besides food. If you do intend to buy the animal free shopper, buy it from the vegan society, let them have maximum profits from the sale.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thank you all for your replies I think I will get a new one, from the Vegan society when it comes out. I didn't mean to monopolise your message boards, but I have lots of questions... Will no doubt have more.
