This article tells about a proposed Bill of Equality (in the UK) that will give vegans the same legal protection as religious groups. At first the idea struck me as quite far-fetched, but then I thought, why not? In many ways the values behind veganism (and animal rights) resemble religious tenets. That’s definitely something to consider in other countries too.
What do vegans eat?
If you’ve ever wondered about what vegans eat, wonder no more. This great article will tell you. I’d like to add nuts, almonds and seeds to the list. They’re just as healthy and important as everything else, not to mention tasty.

20 things you can do to help animals
This list is good. Maybe you can think of other ways too? And let’s not forget our own health, the environment and so on. All good reasons to go vegan. 🙂
Great quotation
“It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles. The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win. Even though you can’t expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That’s morality, that’s religion. That’s art. That’s life.”

Introduction
As you might or might not know, this blog/homepage has been around for years, but maybe you’re wondering who the blogger is (or in this case the bloggers are)?
Wonder no more. Hi! I’m Camilla, one of the people behind this blog. I’m vegan and have been for a number of years, before that I was ovo-lacto and before that pescatarian (though at the time I didn’t know there was a name for it). As a child, of course, I was omni, but struggling with it, from the age of six, when I found out that there was no difference between the muscle tissue in my body and that in the bodies of animals. So that was why I started my path towards veganism. My love for animals. Soon I discovered all the other pros of being veg. Now I can’t think of a single drawback.
For years I’ve also been concerned about the environment, ecology etc and human rights, feminism and so on.
For the future, I’m dreaming of a much greener lifestyle. A green, cruelty-free lifestyle to be exact. Some day I hope to live in the countryside, preferably in the woods, growing my own food, with solar panels on the roof and hopefully a mini wind power plant nearby. By then, I hope my family is a lot bigger than it is today. Right now it consists of only three humans and a number of non-human family members.
In fact, maybe we could start a vegan village! Maybe… Still, if you can dream it, you can do it, as someone once said (more or less).
Composting for children (or other beginners)
If you want to grow your own vegetables (or whatever you like) composting is an important part of your gardening. Basically, any vegetables or fruit etc that you eat, produce peels and so on, and those are ideal for enriching the soil in your garden.

I found this a while back and I thought it was great. Very true.
