Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I agree - and I have written to them about it on many occasions. To be quite honest I belong to it because of the discount we can get at the local health food stores. It saves me about £80 to £100 a year. Also you can get a discount at The Riverside Vegetaria of 10%. We eat there about ten times a year, so all in all it's best for us to stay put.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Ah well - I don't buy un-vegan processed sugar. Anyway, according to the recent Vegan Shopper most of the sugars in the UK are okay now. I do have some shoes that are leather that I bought years ago. My latest buys are not leather, but I cannot guarantee they are vegan. I have very wide feet (EEE) and the vegan shoe manufacturers do not go anywhere near that wide. I don't know - you are trying to persuade me to be vegan and then offer me a kitten to eat!
