Vegan Week ·

2025/10/23

Ok, so we've twisted Justin Brown's words slightly...but you could argue that this is the crux of his article from earlier this year: https://vegoutmag.com/lifestyle/j-i-discovered-why-some-vegans-thrive-while-others-burn-out-and-it-revealed-a-hidden-psychological-pattern-that-nobody-talks-about-but-everyone-needs/Mark, Kate & Ant discuss the concept of 'perfectionism' in veganism, its impact (if any) on one's longevity as a vegan, and what has the most positive impact on the animals.As ever, we

Vegan Week ·

2025/10/20

It may not have been down to the ridiculous lines peddled by Red Tractor that their animals are humanely slaughtered, or the misleading line about every cow having their own personal vet...but nonetheless, the twenty-second ad may no longer be shown...as an advert (this hasn't stopped the BBC having it available to watch on their website however!) Dominic, Julie & Anthony discuss this, as well as analysing a further eight of the week's vegan & animal rights stories from across the

Vegan Week ·

2025/10/09

Earlier this year the Animal Think Tank released this 'mini guide' suggesting how animal advocates can change their language to better advocate for the change they want to see: https://animalthinktank.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Language-Mini-Guide-2025.pdfBut do words really make a difference? And perhaps more pertinently, what difference might these particular suggested words & phrases make? Richard, Dominic & Ant get stuck into this piece of literature and try to work out what we

Vegan Week ·

2025/09/25

According to Jordan Cooper, "if you’re vegan but never try to convert others, you probably exhibit...high EQ qualities". And whether Jordan is an AI-bot or not, the article that appears under their name in Veg Out Magazine https://vegoutmag.com/lifestyle/gen-if-youre-vegan-but-never-try-to-convert-others-you-probably-exhibit-these-high-eq-qualities/ raises some interesting questions around 'converting' people to veganism and how we represent ourselves and the movement.

Vegan Week ·

2025/09/22

Three of this week's nine stories from the vegan & animal rights 'space' feature humans across the globe using bows & arrows, guns & traps to help look after the environment.

Vegan Week ·

2025/09/15

Seems that German car manufacturers want to keep up with the Joneses (Jean-ses?); a couple of months after Renault's leather-free-interior pledge, Mercedes have obtained Vegan Society certification for their GLC model (when you choose the 'Vegan Package', and why wouldn't you?!) We're also reporting on Lidl announcing record plant-based sales...are we just selling out, promoting giant German corporations' tokenistic plant based offerings?
