NEWS

Show of masksOver twenty masked activists blocked the pathway

on Manchester’s busiest shopping street to show an “important” film.

Members of campaign group Manchester Animal Action stood silent and played the hour-and-a-half long documentary ‘Earthlings’ on their laptops while wearing plain white robotic masks.

The scenes depict animals abused for food, clothes, entertainment and in experiments, in a bid to inspire people to go vegan. Co-organiser Kate Hutchinson said: “The aim of the event was to open people’s eyes to animal suffering that occurs all around us.

“It was very moving to see the public’s reaction. I saw two people with tears in their eyes, some thanked us. One man stood transfixed and began to choke up."

The masks were used for attention, as well as to remain anonymous and represent any member of society. The activists were asked to stay silent to enable the viewers to draw on their own experience.

Hundreds of passers-by stopped to watch the documentary, narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, and were handed notes which said ‘please don’t be part of what

you’ve just seen’. One woman said: “I’m vegan and just want to say thank you so much for what you're doing.”

The demonstration was part of The Earthlings Experience, a project started by vegan sisters from London, and came to Manchester for the first time ever.

MAA organises regular campaigns against businesses involved in what they consider animal exploitation and events to promote veganism to the wider public.

The organiser of a vegam festival claims it attracted the highest number of people any vegan festival outside of the South of England ever has.

Some 3,500 visitors attended the Northern Vegan Festival, which was run by 50 volunteers in four different venues in Manchester with over 185 stalls.

Organiser Roddy Hanson said: “I was hoping to create more interest in veganism and inspire people to become vegan or vegetarian. The event gets bigger each time; stalls do well and book again, people tell each other about it and more vegans and vegetarians are created as a result.

“It's not just vegans who come along; there are lots of vegetarians and meat-eaters who want to find out more about the plant-based diet.”

Stalls were full of vegan food and drink, toiletries, clothes, non-leather footwear and books.

Nicola O’Brien, Campaigns Director of the Manchester-based charity the Captive Animals Protection Society which had a stall, said: "Over my years of campaigning I’ve seen a huge step towards a more compassionate world for animals, and the sucess of such vegan festivals around the country is evidence of that.”

Roddy, a vegan of 28 years, said the plant-based life is much easier these days: “Businesses do lots of research into every food choice and are very aware of veganism.”

There are two Northern Vegan Festivals already planned in April and October 2016, as well as free vegan food sampling at universities and primary schools in Manchester.

A brand new vegan society has launched

at Manchester University, attracting new members faster than you can say ‘pass the tofu’.

Manchester University Vegan and Vegetarian Society recruited hundreds of members at the freshers’ fair and hosted a vegan BBQ enjoyed by meat-eaters and vegans alike.

MUVVS was created by Jacob Scott to provide a support network for students who felt lost as veggies in the halls and elsewhere, share recipes and meet up for events.

Jacob said: “People loved the BBQ, it was nice to talk to others with the same ideals.

“It’s hard for people to give up animal products but these events help them to try nice vegan food. They're surprised how much we can eat!”

Vice president Emma Newth-West said: “People often think

veganism is expensive, but it is definitely not!"

Jacob agreed: “I have found, compared to my meat-eating peers, that being a veggie student is actually a lot easier."

The society are looking at starting campaigns to help better the options for veggie students around the university.

Plans for the nearest future include visits to local animal shelters, potlucks and creating clothing with MUVVS’s logo.

ACCIDENTALLY VEGAN, MEANING THEY WERE NOT PRODUCED SPECIFICALLY FOR VEGANS YET HAPPEN TO BE SUITABLE FOR THEM

X Smoky bacon flavour? No way! Turns out these Pringles don't have the slightest bit of bacon in them, yet taste like the real thing thanks to the genius use of spices.

X Original Cheerios are too mainstream... We all love chocolate and it's good news that this chocolate is dairy-free.

T There aren't many people who don't appreciate a good, crunchy tortilla chip. Doritos know this and made sure their range includes three vegan flavours - BBQ rib (not the most aptly named), lightly salted and chilli heatwave.

X How can choc chip biscuits be vegan? By substituting milk chocolate with dark chocolate, of course! And don't worry, that

doesn't mean these aren't sweet - they're almost too good, crunchy and melty and chunky at the same time. This is definitely a favourite.

W Simply using water not milk. 14 calories

S Mr Kipling have not one but two vegan products -

apple and blackcurrant pies and jam tarts. Looking at these, it is safe to say that one

can never have too much sugar.

W Yes, Skittles contain no animal-derived ingredients! What's more, every single flavour is suitable for vegans. There are so many colours and variations but the inside stays the same and this unique sweet is a top pick for vegans and non-vegans alike.

S Oreos love vegans and vegans love Oreos. The brand made sure every flavour - from watermelon to birthday cake to cheeseburger - can be enjoy by everyone.

X There's always a time for a fajita and it's handy that there's a ready-to-use kit for those days where you're just oh so lazy. It's useful to have a box or two in your cupboard at all times for such emergencies. Or maybe five, just in case...

T This bad boy may save your life at times. Just imagine you open the fridge and there's literally nothing to eat... That's what pot noodles are for. It's nice that

the brand made one vegan flavour; can't expect too much in the world of beef, chicken and shrimp broth. Just try not having it for lunch every day!

S going vegan overnighT may seem overwheLming buT doing sufficienT research beforehand maKes iT much easier

Veganism: Where do i begin?

DOMINIKA PIASECKA FOUND OUT WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW AS A NEWBIE PLANT-EATER.

In the wake of recent revelations about the damaging effects of red and processed meat, the nation resorted

to various diets that exclude animal products.

Many people who contemplate veganism may feel pretty overwhelmed by the mountains of information available about it. They go from one mountain to another, trying to uncover the facts and filter out the fiction, they climb up and they get closer, but few actually reach the summit.

Once perceived as something exclusive to hippies, it is now seen as all sorts of things from noble and compassionate, to preachy and annoying, to extreme and hard core. There are many sides to veganism and two major types: the lifestyle and the diet, with the latter focusing on health and nutrition as well as animal welfare, making it much easier for a beginner.

The two danger zonesThe vegan diet eliminates all animal products, including meat, eggs, milk and items derived from it like cheese and cream. Although it seems limiting, there are vegan alternatives to every single one of those – even eggs.

Rachel Stevens from Rachel Clare Nutrition, based in Chelsea, consults clients who want to have a balanced plant-based diet: “They particularly need to ensure that they meet their iron requirements. I'd stress the importance of having beans, legumes and iron-fortified foods."

The daily recommended protein intake for adults is about 46g for females and 56g for males. Swapping butter for hummus on your toast can add as much as 10g per two slices, while a cup of lentils is a whopping 18g. Protein is everywhere: in bread, nuts and corn.

Plants: cool or dull? Rachel noticed the growing trend of veganism: “There is a big interest in staying healthy and people are picking up what they come across in the media. Veganism seems like a popular diet to go on as celebrities endorse it. It’s becoming popular not just because of animal welfare but also health.”

Rachel admitted there's evidence that vegans have a lower BMI and said that it’s good for weight management because plant-based foods tend to be lower in calories, while products high in saturated fats, such as meat, increase bad cholesterol levels and thus the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Deborah Schwartz, who works at various GP surgeries in Edgware and sees patients with vitamin deficiencies, affirmed: “You can be overweight on any diet if you eat too much; veganism doesn’t guarantee anything if you have too much fat. Cholesterol should be low, because there are no animal fats."

The dietitian of 16 years mentioned calcium as another potential deficiency area. Fortified soya milk covers 30% of your daily requirement. Baked beans, chickpeas, broccoli and oranges are full of calcium, too. She commented on vitamin B12,: "Vegans need to have Marmite or fortified breakfast cereal."

The bloating dairy dilemmaEmma Eustace, from South Ockendon, near London, suffers from genetic colitis, which affects the colon and can be associated with diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating. She recalls a day in the hospital where she was given a milkshake after not being able to eat properly for a few weeks. “I’ve never experienced pain like it in my life. It was just the most awful pain,” said the 43-year-old. “I honestly thought I was going to die. I couldn’t eat anything and I got to a point where I couldn’t go.”

Emma discovered a lot of people were blaming dairy and claimed: “I literally saw the difference within a week after cutting out dairy because I wasn't on the toilet as much. I can’t remember the last time I had to take steroids.” Initally finding herself in the hospital every month, she now goes there once a year and tells every colitis sufferer she meets to ditch dairy.

Research charity Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America advise: “Some people cannot properly digest lactose, the sugar in many milk products, regardless of whether they have IBD [inflammatory bowel disease]. Poor lactose digestion may lead to abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea, and bloating.”

Diet isn’t exactly everythingSome of the world’s most famous sportspeople are vegan : boxer Mike Tyson, multi-sport Olympian Carl Lewis, NFL player Tony Gonzales and tennis player Venus Williams are just a few big names.

Ealing-based NHS Senior Dietitian Eulalee Green, who is also a personal fitness trainer, said: “Even athletes can have a vegan diet. You don’t need meat to build muscles; you need the right kind of resistance training."

Dietitians seem to agree on one thing: that diet is extremely important for your wellbeing. Rachel said we should be looking at the full picture to achieve optimum health: "Diet is a part of the whole package. Eating well, exercising more, good sleep hygiene, lowering alcohol… all those things contribute to having a healthy lifestyle and lower your risk of disease."

Dietitians advise...

Deborah Schwartz: “If you don’t know what you’re doing with your diet, you can mess up really badly. You should learn about veganism first and prepare yourself to give up animal products.”

Rachel Stevens: "Vegans can be lacking in protein and their immune system might be affected, so they need to eat a lot of things like tofu, soya milk, peanut butter, hummus, beans and legumes.”

Eulalee Green: "Even athletes can have a vegan diet. You don’t need meat to build muscles; you need the right amount of protein and the right balance between cardio and resistance programs."

REVIEWS

frozen yogurt - soya styleI f you are looking for a little treat but are trying to

watch your weight at the same time, we've found the place which will satisfy your needs. Frurt, conveniently situated just by Oxford Road train station in Manchester, serve frozen yogurts made from soya, fruit parfaits, fruit cups, smoothies and dairy-free milkshakes.

With only 50 cals per non-dairy pot (providing you don't add the tempting naughty toppings they have on offer), you can eat this fat-free treat regularly without any of the guilt. Frurt's products are also low in sugar and full of active live cultures. They contain a bit of protein, too - 3.4g per pot.

Although the only frozen yogurt available to vegans is soya-flavoured, the range of toppings is impressive. From digestive biscuits and Oreos to dark chocolate chips to coconut pieces and all sorts of fruit, there is bound to be something for everyone. The add-ons can make a plain soya yogurt taste even more delicious; but mind you, they definitely won't make it healthier!

As great as they taste, the products are unfortunately extremely pricey. A simple mango frozen yogurt is £3, while a more sophisticated dessert with a few toppings and a sauce comes to a whooping £8. A good product but not worth the money. Good once in a while or to take someone out as a treat.

Who said veganism always has to be a healthy diet? Affordable, fast junk food is all you need

sometimes. In such a situation, V Revolution never fails to come to the rescue.

The venue is famous for its veggie burgers and veggie hot dogs, with a peanut butter veggie burger deserving a special mention. They also make the best vegan hot chocolate you can ever have.

Dom, the owner of V Revolution, is very supportive of local vegan and animal groups, always agreeing to stay after hours to host a meeting or a potluck, only in exchange for guests buying a humble drink.

The Northern Quarter venue is one of Manchester's best known veggie hangouts and as a fully vegan cafe, it is worthy of representing veganism in the city.

authenticity without ANimalsChinese food is often associated with

oily, fragrant takeaways that you may order on a lazy night in front of the telly, not something you’d take pretty pictures of for Instragram. But when Tripadvisor users rank a restaurant as the fourth best in the whole city of Manchester, you gotta try it out.

It turns out that Lotus Vegetarian Kitchen – its Cantonese cuisine only slightly adapted in order to suit the taste buds of the people of the West – is not only more sophisticated than a typical Chinese restaurant but also picture-friendly. If you like your food to both look and taste nice, this is a place to go.

Situated just by Fallowfield in Manchester, the location makes it popular among students living in the area. The interior has quite a casual feel thanks to the warm green and beige decorations and soft background music, making it cosy and calm.

Lotus is the definition of ‘vegan food heaven’. Those on a plant-based diet may feel overwhelmed by the 106 items on the menu if they’re not used to having so much choice. Although initially launching as a vegetarian restaurant and takeaway in May last year, owners Sally and Tommy Li changed the menu merely a month after due to the high demand for vegan food. They offer just four vegetarian-only dishes now.

Lotus became the first restaurant in the city to serve mock vegan ‘duck’ (£9) – something they consider their

signature dish. It lives up to its name as it cracks between

the teeth, together with the crunchy cucumbers wrapped in a cute little pancake with sweet

hoisin sauce.

Another item recommended by the owner was salt and pepper aubergine (£7.50). Even the biggest aubergine fans would’ve been surprised at this dish; it doesn’t look or taste like aubergine much and although it seems dry served without any sauce, it’s chunky and melts in the mouth. Who would’ve thought the two most basic spices can create such a unique flavour!

Pineapple fried rice (£7.90) was a warm, juicy fruit and rice mixture served… inside an actual pineapple. The portions weren’t big but very affordable and filling overall.

Although the menu doesn’t include alcohol (you’re welcome to bring your own), that is compensated by a wide range of “healthy” teas, fizzy drinks and coffees. Lotus offers a £5 lunch menu on weekdays.

Service is always quick, professional and staff are ready to answer questions. Each order comes with vegan prawn crackers and fruit for dessert.

Here’s hoping that Lotus Vegetarian Kitchen one day becomes a chain!
