Her experience in transitioning both herself and her children has been a great source of information for all those looking
to provide their children with optimum health.

While I’m excited to go home (I miss my dog terribly) I’m also slightly nervous. I’m heading back to reality. Well, a new kind of reality anyway. One where wheelie bin-loads of juice are consumed each day and
regularly consuming coffee from the opposite end that it was intended is the norm.

The ironic part of these situations, is that most of the time - this context is spoken not directly to you; but to another person. And most of the time, you just happen to be situated right next to the person when they are speaking. And the truth that is being echoed from their mouths dauntingly remains ringing in your ears.

I love to eat this salad outdoors as a side dish, on top of a veggie burger, or rolled into a pita with crisp romaine. This delicious dish makes an excellent compliment to any summer soiree.

Though spas have been built for the same reasons throughout history, their design and features continue to change.

Welcome to the ride that we call life. Strap yourself in - and get ready to roll. After coming of the roller coaster, you certainly get to see life in a different manner. Perhaps you would never see these things if you did not jump
lineup to get on the roller coaster. Even being a passenger, waiting for a friend to finish their ride - you can still enjoy life's experiences.

My daughter and I have been on an amazing raw journey for just over 3 years. I was a healthy vegan for 7yrs, before becoming pregnant. It was then I discovered that I needed something more to support the health of both myself and my baby. Cooked vegan wasn’t giving me enough energy or nourishment.
I quickly felt my health deteriorating as all my reserves were being used to create this new person growing inside.

This dish is 100% Natural.
Organic. Raw. Vegan. Gluten-Free. Wheat-Free. Sugar-Free. Low Fat. High Fiber. Safe for Diabetics.

Oh how wrong one would be. The food at the Gerson clinic may be extremely healthy, but it is laid on thicker than Amy Winehouse’s eyeliner. Plus, we .
are encouraged to eat as many plates of the cancer-fighting cuisine as possible. This is great news to someone with such a healthy appetite as mine.

The Atelier spring 2010 collection premiered at Barney, New York was a little more than your average launch of a new collection.

Over time, the constant impact and imperfections in a runners stride will inevitably lead to compression of the spine, tightening of muscles and fascia, and common knee, hip and ankle injuries.

Previously I would observe people; and even fall pray to passing judgment on how people would live their lives with comments like 'I can't believe this....or I wouldn't have done that.' It is not until situations present themselves do you really know how you would react.

Melissa promotes a balanced mind/body/spirit approach to health and happiness. She is dedicated to a holistic lifestyle and incorporates daily physical exercise, strength training, yoga, meditation, affirmations, organic foods and vitamins, for optimal health and wellness.

Charlotte is the daughter of the late Max Gerson, the man who came up with the disease-curing Gerson Therapy over 60 years ago. Charlotte is amazing. She is the smartest, sharpest and most passionate person I have ever met. Hearing her speak about cancer and natural healing is truly eye opening.

Although organic farming is clearly gaining strength around the world, in one country, Uganda, it is raising some serious issues for the local people and their fight with Malaria.

The chia seed (pronounced chee-ah) is by no means new to the world as a super food. In fact, it was so revered by the Aztecs in ancient times as a source of supernatural energy and power that it was used as money!

It is truly incredible how the universe works; placing you in situations that perhaps you think you never would be able to handle - or in environments that you thought you would never be able to push past.

If you take the time to stop and realize, you really do feel a source pushing and prodding you around in life to help you understand your true nature.

They taste totally amazing, and served with a lightly steamed layer of brown rice and bok choi - you have yourself the most delicious and easy Vegan meals that all will love.

We all hope you have a great time preparing this beautiful meal.
- ENJOY!

It is easy to feel deflated and sombre during or immediately after such times. Of course it is natural to be disappointed if things do not go exactly the way you wanted.

Although I am very interested in nutrition and eating the right foods, my main passion is in the field of eco friendly clothing production, and building support for those companies that do the right thing in the manufacture of their consumables.

Scientists have always been worried about the affect this would have - it has not been until now that evidence is showing collapse of marine species.
Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow water just off the Florida coast. Mullets, crabs, rays and small fish congregate by the
thousands off an Alabama pier. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into marshes, never to be seen again.

I remember reading a little while ago that you learn your lessons through suffering and tragedy. At the time I thought to myself 'Wow, what a negative way at looking at things.' But during this little period this remark was making more sense.

You can really taste all the different flavours coming out and sprouting in your mouth. All the CREW are positive that this little
dish will bring you as much joy as it brings us.

- ENJOY!

When we’re trying to be healthy we eliminate things like caffeine, sugar and processed foods but often overlook the hidden chemicals we are ingesting by eating non-organic produce.
If you’re healthy and want to stay that way, it’s a good idea to look into buying organic (certified!) where you can. If you have cancer, eating only organic will be vital to your recovery.

Though, during that time where you are totally consumed and immersed in your activities you all too easily forget about life and all that is happening around us. If you spend your whole life in this routine, then perhaps you
will wake up in 50 years time and ask yourself what just happened?

It sucks the vitamins and minerals from your blood and bones, puts you on an emotional roller coaster if you don't get enough, and it is associated with many cancers and diabetes due to the excess insulin your body has to cope with! To top it all off, sugar is hailed an "ANTINUTRIENT" Why would you want to put an 'antinutrient' into your body?

A quick way to assess how much fibre you’re getting, is to take this Quick Fiber Check from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Simply check what you are eating against the below score sheet and add up the total.

It doesn't take that much time - to prepare the meal. Plus the other treat is that you get a little messy in the kitchen. You have to get a
little messy - makes like so much more fun. This is a great breakfast, and is so filling.

I figure they have to mean something. As you might remember, I found a really inspirational book called My Beautiful Life: How I Conquered Cancer Naturally by Mina Dobic who beat stage IV ovarian cancer by following a macrobiotic lifestyle.

The word “ayurveda” is from the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit, and literally means “knowledge of life.” Ayurvedic applications include nutritional guidance, herbal, medicines, exercise therapy, transcendental meditation and many special rejuvenation and purification therapies.
Inherent in the Ayurvedic way of healing is the concept that you are capable of taking charge of your own life and healing.

This week we’ll help you to understand what it is and why it’s important, and then next week we’ll look at how you can measure your own fibre intake and ensure that you are getting enough. Fibre is often referred to as ‘roughage’ and is usually associated with relieving digestive tract problems, such as constipation.
However, fibre plays a much bigger role than simply clearing out your system.

This week, the beautiful Madagascan Alaotra Grebe was declared extinct. once found on Lake Alaotra, the largest lake in Madagascar, declined rapidly due to carnivorous fish being introduced to the lake and the use of nylon gill nets by local fishermen.

I sat by the creek this afternoon with my dog Odie busy diving for sticks and jotted some more facts to share with you...after this I will share a recipe that does not involve any of the below facts....
I apologise if they are upsetting to you, vegan or not....we are all good people...we all love animals...we have just had the luxury of not seeing the cruelty that goes on
behind closed walls.....that is all....

Today, though, was a little different. Today made me pasue
for a moment and reflect on how I have made it to this point in my life. No doubt, these past 5 years have been nothing short of an adventure. When you hear someone say that life is a roller coaster; all I can say is how true.

It is amazing how using fresh ingrediants can have such an impact on the taste of your dish. All the Vegan Era CREW actually only look to eat RAW now, due to the beautiful, organic taste and feeling you expierence after enjoying such a wonderful meal.

“Everyone knows that. But what they don’t tell you is that before you are rewarded with a flawless, glowing complexion you have to be patient while you relive what was possibly the worst part of adolescence – pimples. Breakouts, blemishes, blackheads – none of it is much fun, but the good news is that if you persist with the detox it should pass pretty quickly.

For many yogi’s, a dedicated yoga practice takes on a deeper longer-lasting value.
Slowly and subtly, yoga begins to influence their lives. Over time, it begins to alter the way they see themselves and others, how they respond to certain situations, and the choices they make about how to live their lives.

Known for their feel-good ethical and sustainable practices, Lush use as little packaging as possible and now offer a unique gift-wrapping solution.

This is real evidence of climate change affecting all species;
from our small insect friends that help pollinate our fruit and vegetable crops. To now; our small mammal friends. You don't have to look to far into the future to wonder who is next on the food chain.

Academy Award winning actor Mr. Sean Penn, is one of these amazing people doing extraordinary work.

You have all found the CREW's weakness - sweets....mmmm - so yummi.
This recipe is beautiful and will satisfy those midnight treat cravings.
There is not too many ingredients needed for this one
but like all our RAW treats - you have to get a little dirty in the kitchen. But how much fun -

If you’ve decided to take control of your own health you will no doubt need to make a few changes to your lifestyle. When I think back to before I was
diagnosed, it’s hard to believe how different my lifestyle is now. I gave up a full-time job, alcohol, meat, dairy, salt, sugar, take-away food, mainstream cosmetics, chemical-laden cleaning products and even getting my hair foiled blonde.

It is a loop – an obsessive, debilitating closed system causing you to get stuck in the details of what you are creating or attempting, and to lose sight of the whole.

Unfortunately, I may be alone in this department; green vegetables are one of the most under-consumed foods in the average person’s diet.

Other drawcards for this fabric include its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, as well as being hypoallergenic. Bamboo is also highly absorbent, keeping the wearer drier, cooler and more comfortable in sweaty weather, without sticking to the skin. It is easy to launder and is more wrinkle-resistant than cotton.

The CREW were so inspired by this, that we had to share this with you. Although the industries in Japan have not been shut down, the people's voice is being heard and the government officials are now looking at ways to curb this, and improve their image.

Who would have thought - not but a year ago I could not have been more happier than kicking back on the porch swinging in my rocking chair sipping a nice warm green tea loving a solitary life. To most, I think this choice freeked them out, but to me this was bliss.

I had the luxury to enjoy this style of life for a couple of years, where all I wanted was paint brushes, and some warm water.

Friends and relatives did however enjoy being catered for,
as usual when I go to Toowoomba I do my best to show off vegan cuisine to the biggest of carnivores who gulp down their food eagerly and sometimes have a brief conversation of why I don't eat animals.

Check out the amazing new recipe for the week - Potato & Chickpea Curry

Although this is not a RAW dish, it is still totally amazing. It is heaps of fun, and you will love what you have created.
On another note - Compassionate Cooking II should be out next week, so stay tuned - ENJOY!

Once a week I will be getting all preachy about natural health and wellness – a subject I am incredibly passionate about.

We have created a petition that we will send to government agencies and business around the world to shine some light as to what actually to our beautiful animal friends. We hope that through this, our voices can help
to stop this cruelty, and bring life to our beautiful animal friends; allow them to regain there true nobel state of living.

Unlike other organs in the body, such as your tummy, the liver does not directly let you know when it is upset.

So without wasting any time, we decided to get cracking and give get to the bottom of this...
So welcome, to this weeks
cooking sensation. We know you are going to enjoy this one; we did

Many of us don't know how lucky we are not to see what happens on dairy farms what happen behind the veil of illusion.

The amazing Lukas can dis-concern shapes, features and even letters; he can even spell out his own name and count up to 5. It is very remarkable to know that our beautiful animal friends are so intelligent. Also, watching Lukas differentiate between objects and shapes is another very amazing talent - but clearly, just one of many.

The loving girlfriend becomes Cruella de Vil, your 16 year old is literally scooping soy ice cream out of the jar in handfuls, and perhaps you yourself feel like you have gained three inches over night around your hips and thighs.
I am referring to the symptoms a woman acquires leading into her
menstrual cycle, which, coincidentally for many, occurs around the same time as a full moon.

There is a variety of eco-friendly accommodation available in the area, including
the Byron Bay Eco Retreat (pictured)

Last week we discussed the scientific basis befriend this study and how our body reacts.
Some of the foods that have the biggest influence on our mood:

She is a fantastic cook, a vibrant beautiful soul whom is very giving of herself and her skills....so if you would like to learn some great new recipies, below is the information about what she is up to....

In this physical world we get so lost in trying to improve our life by attaining material things like a new car, or house or boat; that we get totally immersed in our own little worlds.

Aside from that little pearl of wisdom for you, there have also
been many scientific links between the food you eat and it's affect on a person's mood. I have certainly learned that food can have a profound affect on all aspects of health. If you put crap into your system all day long then it makes sense that you will feel crap. Often it is not until you change your diet that you realize how bad you felt.

It was probably due to the fact I was so immersed in my daily life that I didn't take the time to really appreciate the Truth. Sometimes (actually mostly) when we are in our most relaxed state, the wisdom of Heaven is imparted to us, and things all of a sudden become very clear.

Oh, it is so yummi, we hope you love making this beautiful
dessert as much as we have loved bringing them to you. ENJOY!!!!

There are breathing exercises we do in yoga called Pranayama Breathing. I’d like to share an exercise with you and encourage you to apply what you learn through breathing to situations, circumstances or people you want to let go of.

As described by Ms. Kate Winslet in a new PETA video; this process causes thier livers to swell to many times the normal size.

Are you still sitting their scratching your head asking
yourself, 'yes, but why?' Well, this practice is done to feed the socialites of the world at their dinners.

In fact, each spice has a unique set of health benefits to offer

The Human mind is excellent at having us believe we are doing something amazing; when in truth we are just sitting at our desks watching the time pass us by so we can head out for a weekend of fun. Then hit repeat.

So, instead of bringing you an amazing Vegan recipe - we want you to share with us your amazing kitchen creations.
And, because we love you all so much - we are going to give the
the most Loving Chef an amazing Vegan Era prize pack valued over $300....YAY!!!

I have only been Vegan for just over 1 year, however diet has always been something I have been conscious of for at least my adult life in particular, for good and bad reasons.

Unfortunately, as clothing becomes cheaper and cheaper, these people are the ones who suffer so that you can get a bargain. In particular, it is the people that we don’t often think of, while we are mesmorised by that dress in the window of a chain store, who suffer.

As a result, the mice expressed a wide variety of immune responses commonly associated with diseases such as:

Australian is home to many unique animal friends including the kangaroo, koala, platapus and the dingo. Incidentally, all are facing radical reductions in numbers due to the government failing to recognize the need to protect these iconic treasures.

So, we thought - we can't keep this a seceret any more; the
world must know. Plus the other great thing with this too - is that you get to make amazing chocolate bliss ball to have with the milk you made.
But; you might have to might for part 2 to get this recipe.
ENJOY!

Please watch the video - it is why we do what we do....to be a voice to the world for the billions and billions caught in man made's slavery

While the Vegan Era Crew don’t want you smelling like the men’s locker room, we do feel it’s prudent to let you know exactly what chemicals are lurking in that deodorant and, of course, offer you some natural alternatives.

(There is a point to this so stay with me....) In the list of the 5 smallest countries (in which Andorra didn't actually feature, but hey we can't all be right all the time) Nauru was one of them.

We are truly sorry for what happens in this world; the cruel and horrific practices carried out by humans.
We constantly pray that one day our beautiful Home and it's amazing animal friends that grace our world to bring us happiness and joy; live in peace and harmony once more. Where no sentient beings ever feel worried or stressed if there life is at risk due to needles and selfish purposes.

And yes life here is very different, but never a dull moment!
I have only been Vegan for just over 1 year, however diet has always been something I have been conscious of for at least my adult life in particular, for good and bad reasons.

As you begin to practice the techniques on your family and friends, you should find this ancient art to be calming, revitalising, uplifting and incredibly rewarding. Much of the joy lies in its simplicity, effectiveness and accessibility – no special equipment is needed and it takes less than half an hour to complete.

The actual meal itself is nothing new - but the spicy peanut dressing is something that caught our eye. amazing flavours to make something new and exciting. We hope that you enjoy getting into the kitchen and mixing this new and yummie dish up as much we did.
Have a fun!

I had good intentions, though by the time you finish reading this you might not have the feeling that this editorial was light hearted. I tried.

The new favourite that was just discovered this morning is EcoStyle Magazine. Ecostyle Magazine is a cutting-edge, digital green fashion magazine.

For those of you who are not aware of this amazing diet; it is where a person embarks on a diet that consists of foods that are not cooked or processed. The lifestyle enjoys literally the fruits off the tree.

Bollywood dance is a fantastic fusion of Indian folk and classical styles with a touch of hip-hop and Latin moves. As anyone who is a fan of Bollywood films will know, it's colourful, animated and if you give it a go, exhausting.

In today's world, we are probably tested more than in any other period of time. Why? Because there is so much divergence; The wealth of the world lies with 2% of the population

So, here it is - a very amazing, yummi, scrumptious dessert to treat yourself. The great thing is that there is not too much to it - plus you get to have heaps of fun in the kitchen at the same time. YAY!!

In the latest information provided by the wonderful people at PETA, Joaquin Phoenix reveals the horrors of the Exotic-Skins Trade.
"Did you know that mother snakes keep their eggs warm by wrapping their bodies around them; then shivering to generate heat."
"Alligator mothers protect their eggs and babies up until they are three years old. Alligator siblings stay together between 1 - 3 years." Joaquin Phoenix.

I blogged about this experience here. After you do a big cleanse like that, you only want to put good things back into your body.
But, of course, over time I have gotten back into my old habits of eating too much vegan chocolate, chips, pasta, bread and other processed nasties!

Mother Maria began in the Spring of 2006, after the demand for designer Katie Gannon’s re-worked vintage pieces out grew local market stalls.
The label has quickly blossomed, with her stock in stores right across Australia.

Hayek decided to go into business with her friend Helms after stepping up her juice cleanse just before her wedding.
Cleanses are three or five days and they also offer a raw food option where the meals are created by Matteo Silverman, the chef behind the underground supper club 4 Course Vegan in New York.

That's what I like to call it anyway, you might call it something else.
As normal, life generally has to throw me at least 3 or 4 lessons to get the message to me.
I could make things more simple and learn on the first one - but where would the fun be in that.

Anyway, this week we reverted back to an old favourite that you can download free of charge when you susbscribe to the free Vegan Era Newsletter.

Our amazing Home and all of Her natural habitats exists in such beautiful accord with each other. The balance is so fine, that when the smallest element is out of order - it can have the most drastic affect on the eco system and in accord Human beings.
"When talking about threatened species, people tend to think of larger, more charismatic creatures such as pandas or tigers, but we mustn't forget that the small species on our planet are just as important, and are also in need of conservation action," said Jane Smart, Director, IUCN Biodiversity Conservation Group. "Butterflies, for instance, play a hugely pivotal role as pollinators in the ecosystems in which they live."

Seeing how happy and healthy Trudi is, we always have people ask us how they can help their best friends to adopt the compassionate vegan diet. So we thought we'd share our experience and ideas with you.

Coconuts have nourished populations around the world for generations and are the staple diet on many islands.

You know that feeling you get when something happens to you and it's almost like you miss a breath...Well, I sort of had that recently. Life has revealed a few things to me recently.

It is horrible to see, that in what we call a 'civilised' world this sort of treatment still goes on.

Plus, it also helps when they come out with scrumptious desserts; oh we love these the best.

However, cutting out carbs is not the answer to a healthier you. Rather, a grumpier, tired, unhealthier version of you. Generally speaking. Scientists from the CSIRO, South Australia University and Flinders University recently compared a low-carbohydrate diet that was high in fat and protein with a low-fat diet rich in carbs.

“Today, it’s principally a tranquil, gentle and pleasurable means of attaining and maintaining health and harmony in mind and body, mobility, suppleness and mental alertness,” Tai Chi Australia’s founder and Chief Instructor, Mr. Han Jin Song, said.

1. Plan Try your best to plan your purchases. I know that kinda takes the fun out of shopping – I’m all for impulse buys – but they usually aren’t very sustainable for your wardrobe or the planet. Buying a top on sale for $10 from a chain store sounds fun at the time, but if you take a moment to consider where this top probably came from (possibly from the hands of a child in a far away land) and consider whether this top is a good addition to your wardrobe and will stand the test of time…you may want to pass.

When I drove over the hill and looked from a top over the landscape, I was horrified to see what we Humans were doing to our beautiful Home. Cranes upon cranes ruled the sky line - the Earth was barron and the stench of the place was disguisting. But as someone mentioned to me - 'David. This is Prgoress.'

Diverse backgrounds, differing opinions and outlooks on life. We certainly can not say that our world is boring, and for those of you who do - come and hang with the Vegan Era CREW we will keep you entertained.
Along our journey, we have adopted many differing diets, and one that we have love so much is directly from Mother Earth - enjoying the fruits of the world.

The New South Wales Environment Minister Mr. Frank Sartor noted the importance of protecting our animal friends and used this as an example of the fragile nature of our Home.

In the US there is even a hair recycling program which accepts hair clippings from salons and creates mesh hair mats with them to be used to soak up oil spills in the ocean. Apparently our hair is fantastic for absorbing oil.

Before the advent of modern medicine, many foods were used for their healing and preventative powers. Some cultures, and some people still use them that way.

They say the iceberg, which is 78km long and up to 39km wide, could have consequences for not only the area's colonies of emperor penguins, but also other arctic marine life that needs cold waters to survive.
It has been identified, that with this break in the ice, it has the potential to alter the currents of the oceans leading to warmer waters, and a shift in cyclic conditions.

Exercise is widely known to release endorphins and other ‘feel good’ chemicals by the brain that can last up to 12 hours. Some researchers believe that it is also the social interaction between people during a work out or team sports that may be an important source of satisfaction as well.
It is also a great way to distract the mind from negative or stressful thoughts.

We are in the process of getting an amazing reciepe for the most delicious RAW Vegan Chocolate cake - but we have a feeling the chef won't give it up too easily. But, oh my - it is so good. It melts in your mouth.

With that being said, the moment that our world is faced with is very scary. Our Home has just witnessed another very horrifying disaster - this time in Chile, where over 300 are reported to have perished.

It was another earthquake - that it is said to have been hundreds of times more powerful than that of Haiti. Though as it was well over 20 miles under the earth's surface, the impact was not as fierce.

We only have to look at the recent disaster in Haiti to see how much celebrities are willing to give: Model Gisele Bundchen gave $1.5 million; Sandra Bullock gave $1 million; Brangelina gave $1 million and Tiger Woods gave $3 million.

In case you are still wondering why, this is because they have far higher nutrient, vitamin and mineral content and are free from harmful pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and artificial fertilizer chemicals. AND they taste better!
Truly, try eating an organic banana and a supermarket banana at the same time - there is a huge difference. The supermarket banana usually looks prettier and twice the size, but it lacks a lot of the goodness. So sneaky!

In a recent study, it has been identified that Dolphins share more similarities with us than we have ever thought.

Apart from this amazing connection when we are in the water together - it seems we share a few body dis-functions as well. Scientist have found that Dolphins suffer from Type 2 Diabetes; just like us Humans.

This is in liu of Vegan Era going into production of what we are calling the Kiddie - Cookie - Bookie. Due to popular demand, the CREW is putting together there latest book for kids.

I am making a preditcion that it is the later of my very thought provoking questions that is true.

However, these days it’s a miracle that the fish can even survive in the waters that we have polluted over the years.

It is a shame that the mass media do not air this - as there is still so much that has to be done, and the area is far from recovery. By them taking this away from the world it is desthitising us from the realities of such disasters in our world.

For all of you that were good boys and girls and looked after your man or woman yesterday; kudos.

The CREW at Vegan Era think that this one will be just what you need to get you out of that tight pickle you have found yourself in.

For those of you who are not that aware of the Chinese Zodiac Calendar, let me enlighten you some what. The Chinese New Year coincides with the new lunar year, and traditionally falls between late January and mid February.

You may have the fear you would be the only beginning student in the room, while everyone else sits in perfect lotus, upside down.

So instead of purchasing that Hallmark card with the oh-so-cute message, consider these eco-friendly tips:

Foods such as canned soup and spaghetti sauce can also be heavy on the sugar. One of the biggest culprits are Thai dishes (yes yes I know there are a lot of vegetables in a ‘Garlic and Basil Vegie Tofu Stirfry’ but the amount of sugar in the sauces at some of these places..did you not wonder why it can taste so good?!)

This is a wonderful dessert that is pretty easy to make and is so beautiful. We hope that you enjoy the beautiful Very Vegan Strawberry Shortcake dessert. We know we do.

Well, I am not saying anything radical. If you stopped and opened your eyes you will be seeing that our world is changing drastically, and you may wake up one day and think to yourself - 'Hey, how did I get here.' Actually, that reminds me of a great Talking Heads song.

Their home - the once bountiful ice caps of Canada, Greenland and the Arctic Ocean is melting. Their food source is vanishing and their numbers are drastically decreasing.

You may initially think meditation is a technique or approach used to cultivate the mind and awake the internal relationship with one’s Self.
However, meditation is, and will become a way of life for you. Many different authors and voices have discussed meditation, each with their own opinion and ideas as to how one can be meditative.

It is beautiful to see. We will say something very quickly to get out in the open, but after that I promise it will be nothing but super happy good times for here on in.

With a focus on community and education, Green Earth Festival is a free, family orientated event, which aims to increase awareness by bringing environmental, green, health and lifestyle, cruelty-free and sustainable issues into the public eye.

It has been revealed that due to these barbaric conditions, tigers numbers are dramatically on the decline and a reality of being extinct.
The World Bank has noted; "China and other Asian nations should shut privately run tiger farms as they are inhumane and fuel demand for the endangered big cat's bones and skin."

This is so amazing, we had to
share it with you as soon as we could. We hope that you enjoy! If you would like to share another beautiful meal with us, please contact us - central@veganera.com

Check out the AWESOME VIDEO too. Ginnifer Rocks.

Up until now - China has remained strong on their laws protecting the Tiger - though now, it seems they are being strong armed by the evil forces

Then this year, our world was once again rattled by a devastating earthquake in Haiti Initial tolls are coming in at 150,000 though it is expected to reach well over 200,000 loss of lives.

We are massive fans of this beautiful dessert - we have a bit of a sweet tooth.

The third part of this article will be shared next week. Have a lovely week, and enjoy reading part two!

Always considered a delicacy, Asians offered these ‘sea plants’ during ancient sacrifices to their ancestors. There are also references in the Chinese Book of Poetry (written over 3000 years ago) to a mystical woman cooking up these plants of the sea.

Ha ha, Like much of the world's population I was raised with parents, who raised by their parents (so on and so forth) that feed meat to their children.

These resolutions may be just the face value, for deeper more confronting changes we want to see within ourselves. A promotion at work may mean you want to be more disciplined, organized, and motivated. A new apartment could relate to your desire for a new start – a new direction in your life with new neighbours, new carpet, a new ‘view’.
