Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 Everything in moderation....as long as it's vegan I try not to worry about it too much....shopping as a vegan is hard enough, without sorting out palm and coconut oil...as long as you don't eat buckets of the stuff you'll be alright...you need some saturated fat in your diet for health. Of course, we are all on the road to a better diet, but you have to enjoy the scenery on the way...(yuk, that sounds so twee, dunnit? lol) Mark x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 didn't miss it, but it's too far for me to travel and I have to save my holidays...only been vegan for 3 months, although was almost vegan for about 4 months before that....I'm probably not a good vegan specimen just yet...better for the research to take place on blokes who have been vegan for a lot longer....would give more reliable results Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 Firstly:: I agree with that. I'll be writing, that's for sure. I have an issue with vegetable fats too. I avoid any man made fats (hydrogenated) and palm and coconut oil (solid at room temp). These are heavy on the saturated fats. It annoys me how there is no labelling requirement to say what type of oil is being used. Push come to shove, I'd rather eat palm oil than hydro-oil. Anyone know if the sat. fats in veggie oil are really that bad? Have I been misinformed? Secondly There is currently some very worth while research going on in London at the moment into vit B12 levels in men and cardiovascular health. If you want highly worthwhile and expensive tests done, and you are a vegan man, this is your chance. All travel is paid etc. For more info zoue.lloyd-wright. She's the person carrying out the research (vegan). I went last weekend and I am waiting to see if I'm accepted into the study. She's a very friendly person. mr big [pervyempire] 26 March 2001 10:54 vegan-network cadburys chocolate..not friendly >On the other hand we want vegan chocolate to be popular and available so >others will buy it simply cos they like it. I often bought Fry's as a >child{carnivore] but then it ceased to exist .We dont want to lose it do >we? This is definately an important point Angie, just as the shopping at Tesco and Sainsburys is. I (in my mild dementia) remember boycotting a health food shop in Newport(S.Wales) that started selling Battery Eggs, yet I still went to Tesco etc who sold any shit under the sun. The Point was that the Health Food shop should have known better, and the move into " battery eggs " was a greedy and sinister move. The issue with big stores however is (as you say,) that if we buy vegan products then they remain available and accessable to " normal " people. It also makes the big stores see " vegan " products as ones that can be profitable. I think they should be congratulated (in writing) and coaxed into making more. How much more profitable could dark chocolate digestives be if they were " vegan " . It certainly isn`t difficult, and I doubt it would make anyone who already buys them go " oh no, theres no milk in these " . These are considerations that manufacturers should start bearing in mind. O.k., so they don`t give a shit about the animals, but they do about money, and if they can sell more by iradicating an unimportant ingrediant then great!! I wrote to McVities about 4 years ago complaining about the unnessecary use of animal fat in hob-nobs. They sent me a pathetic reply saying it was " the traditional housewifes recipe " and that I shouldn`t worry as it wasn`t " lard or beef fat " ?????....anyway, about 6 months later I noticed the animal fat was removed from the recipe. I wonder how many people had complained?? or if vegetable fat just became cheeper??? p.s. What ever did happen to Fry`s 5 centres???

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 You're funny mr big. Those who walk through the golden arches soon walk through the pearly gates. It's one of my favourite quotes. People missed my second point! There is currently some very worth while research going on in London at the moment into vit B12 levels in men and cardiovascular health.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 Does the B12 research involve needles or wee??? MrBiG doesn`t like needles, but he can often be found weeing! _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 It involves wee and..... needles, big fat sucky ones that'll leave a huge hole in your arm forever (spurt, spurt). And it's done in a room full of snakes, spiders and all sorts of phoebes! No, 25ml, which isn't much compared to NHS blood donations. Painless relative to the information I'll gain about my health. How else can one measure B12? I'd rather that to say, cutting my calf off to analyse the b12 in the muscle! Ahhhhh give me my calf back. mr big [pervyempire] 26 March 2001 14:28 vegan-network RE: B12 research (free tests) and oils etc Does the B12 research involve needles or wee???

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 No I said calf's as in the muscle in you lower leg, not calves! If they're not vegan, I better give them to an meatie to eat! I wonder how many people have seen Hannibal and seen the similarities between eating flesh. Oops that should have been phobias! mr big [pervyempire] 26 March 2001 14:48 vegan-network RE: B12 research (free tests) and oils etc >No, 25ml, which isn't much compared to NHS blood donations.
