I agree with you. They aren't meat-free. They shouldn't be in a meat-free or vegetarian section.
I think it's better to encourage behaviour in people that you want to see and giving them the opportunity to change rather than to go all-in on a hot-take cancellation.
Morrisons vegan ice-creams are pretty good. You should pick some up. But maybe send their head office an email - POLITELY AND ENCOURAGINGLY! - explaining how you think it's inappropriate to display meat products in a meat-free section.
I have IBS and find pea protein fine for me (I think it’s so processed that my gut can’t find the fibre 😂). I quite like MyVegan clear vegan protein, because you just add water. So far I’ve tried the strawberry flavour (gross- would not recommend) and the apple and elderflower (not bad). If I want to add powder to something else I use pulsin unflavoured pea protein.
The big catering tubs of Knorr powder are vegan
I currently use their regular vegan mass gainer in strawberry.(https://www.theproteinworks.com/vegan-mass-gainer) because I got it on amazon for 8€/kg. Only difference seems to be that they added some vitamins and an insignificant amount of more fat to the "extreme" version. I think it tastes alright, but what can you really expect from vegan protein.. Goes down easy (not that I ever had problems with appetite). Personally, I think the maltodextrin in it is quite a cheap, low quality ingredient. But of course makes it easier to digest compared to using oat flour only. If I had to choose a product, regardless of price I'd opt for something like: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Vanilla-Carbohydrates-Maltodextrin-Dextrose-Lactose-Free/dp/B09HCMN75F/ref=sr_1_14?crid=CPMEUGL7SDO3&keywords=profuel+vegan&qid=1666874954&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjY5IiwicXNhIjoiMi4wOCIsInFzcCI6IjEuNzkifQ%3D%3D&s... No idea if it tastes good though
These ones. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B084285XLD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
After trying several different ones over 6 years, a few months ago I got these for my mum, looked at them against my current ones and was surprised, tried them out, and it turns out be a great purchase, covers everything. And £15 for 6 month supply, winner.
It's nothing too fancy, but I got my first coffee machine at the start of the year second hand off eBay. It's the EspressoWorks All in One. Mine didn't come with the cups and I had to buy my own frothing cup, but I would suggest having a look on eBay if you don't want to spend too much, but still want a decent coffee machine. Everything else came with mine, including a coffee grinder, and I got it for £50. I didn't want to buy anything too expensive as I hadn't had a coffee machine before, and I wanted to get used to using one. It does the job, but I will probably eventually upgrade to a fancier model in the future. It steams my Califia Farms oat barista blend very well and foams nicely when I make cappuccinos and lattes!
They're actually on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/KoRo-Protein-Crispies-Additive-Fitness/dp/B07NBN7CNG/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2OZ7M06H3Z7IW&keywords=soy+crispies&qid=1658416402&sprefix=soy+%2Caps%2C659&sr=8-6
I'm pretty sure MyProtein and/or Bulk have sold something similar previously!
Not for the body, but the Hellmanns buckets on Amazon are healthier on the wallet.
Doesn't this link show the kindle version as 99p?
I got a 1kg from wholefood earth. In 1kg bulk it's £1.93 per 100g from their site.
Or £2.28 per 100g through their Amazon store if you have a reason to shop there - gift card/whatever.
https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Wholefood-Earth-Nutritional-Yeast-Flakes/dp/B01B3BDH1S
It's the best price I've found out of everything. Supermarkets are around £3.50 for 125g so ~= £2.8 per 100g. And Buywholefoods price isn't so great for nooch coming in at £2.7 per 100g.
A good rule of thumb is to check Buywholefoods/Wholefood Earth for everything. For UK bulk buying they both tend to have pretty great prices. Buy your dried beans, lentils, and herbs through them.
What you could do is keep a little bottle on the go - like this
Carry a flask of mayo with you everywhere, just attach it to your keys :-)
>Look into the wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone USA, and the effects that that had on the ecosystem.
The impact of that was overstated (see Scientists debunk myth that Yellowstone wolves changed entire ecosystem, flow of rivers). This is a good video on the topic.
>I don't personally think it counts as murder since they're killing other animals to eat and survive, and I say this as someone who gets emotional watching Attenborough documentaries if like a crab gets eaten by a seagull.
If we reintroduce predatory animals into areas were they predate humans is that not a form of (indirect) murder? I don't see how it's different when nonhuman animals are killed as a result, unless one takes an approach which discriminates based on species membership i.e. speciesism.
Sounds like your nailing it tbh.
Checkout a cookbook called No Meat Athlete, I've found a few new dishes and it's great nutritional advice for rigorous exercise.
Only other advice is you can get frozen edamame which can come in handy when pairing with tofu etc...
Also Huel gang rise up
If you have no luck finding out these are brilliant and vegan https://www.amazon.co.uk/Multivitamins-Minerals-Multivitamin-Essential-Nutravita/dp/B07PQSHZY6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=CXOKKZC1JNJW&keywords=vegan+multivitamin&qid=1642714729&sprefix=vegan+mul%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-3
Yes! Here's a link to choose a time that works for you for a 30 minute interview. Let me know if you have any questions. https://calendly.com/lakeisha-allen/research-interview?month=2020-09&date=2020-09-28
>I guess those who can not afford meat on a regular basis can not afford to buy B12 supplements either.
this is flat out false. You can buy 2 years supply of b12 for 10 quid - recommended dosage is 1 pill every second day. That's approximately 1 pence per day. Where are people buying meat for 1 pence?
I think this vegan multivitamin is pretty good, best one I found that includes omega 3.
I’ve got one of these and its a breathtakingly simple but extremely effective piece of microwave kit that does it all. You can cook noodles in it - I get these - and rice, and defrost veg, and pretty much anything.
I stick 100g of dried pasta and some water in it and microwave on full for ten mins, then low for 4 mins. Your microwave might be different so might have to adjust times a bit. Unhook two of the fastener things and drain the water out, then add a third of a jar of pasta sauce and stir. The hot pasta will heat up the sauce or you can nuke it for a minute more.
I cook a few Tesco Herby Bangers (they’re like £1.30 for 6) in the air fryer - you could do them on your grill though - cut them up and stir them in.
You can cook veg in the pot thing but if you get an air fryer then add all your veg to a bowl, add olive oil, salt pepper garlic powder and whatever dried herbs you’ve got, wrap the whole lot in tin foil and stick it in the air fryer for 20-30 mins, lovely bowl of roasted veg! Frozen veg is cheap and if anything works better than fresh.
All the major supermarkets do cous cous packets (50p ish) empty into a bowl and add boiling water from the kettle. Stick a tin of chickpeas into your microwave pot thing and cook till they’re tender and add to the cous cous and there’s a meal.
You can just stick a tin of soup in there as well. Don’t just get the soup from the vegan section of supermarkets, many of them are accidentally vegan even if they don’t say they’re vegan.
As an American, I didn't know that "Jammie Dodger" could refer to anything other than the youtuber lol. Just looked those up, and I think the closest thing we might have have here would be something like this...? Would definitely like to try those someday and compare them
There are two good methods to making vish; both require Nori, which gives the fishy flavour.
You can either get a thin slab of tofu, wrap it in nori, and then batter and fry it. Or you can mash some cooked chickpeas, add a bit of salt + lemon, wrap that in nori, then batter and fry. If mashing the chickpeas, you can grate up some nori and mix that in too.
If you're feeling particularly fancy, you can get vegan DHA and pop the little capsules and drain out the oil on top of each fried slab, which gives it a much stronger fishy taste. It's remarkably close in flavour.
I don't know if they're any good, because I literally don't feel any difference after taking them.
But I take one of these a day: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PQSHZY6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
A whole year for £20. Don't taste of anything if you can swallow pills.
Amazon do a Carolina Reaper chilli paste that my daughter adds to everything because she finds, as you do, that things the shops label hot are just a disappointment. It's a tiny jar, but you don't need much at a time!
This one is delicious: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vegan-Protein-1kg-Powders-Chocolate/dp/B079TP1P3V/
I often put it in my porridge with some fresh fruit. This is the only vegan protein powder I've ever tried though so can't compare.
My favourite is SCI-MX's Pro V-Gain powder. Unfortunately it comes in a pretty large size at 2.2kg, but at a cost of £28 it works out to just £1.27/100g (or £3.18/250g) so perhaps worth it for you in the long run. It's seems to be one of the cheapest options available per gram.
It's also the best tasting chocolate powder I've tried.

I recommend the "I'm Vegan" app (play store link)
It even works for being veggie and then turning vegan. And splits out how many animals are kept with their mums from being vegan.
There was another app, which pulled out each type of animal inc. seafood, but I can't remember what it was called, and would split out veggie/vegan.
Bosh (as one example) has a big variety of different types of foods, so what are you looking for exactly?
Perhaps https://www.amazon.co.uk/Happy-Pear-Vegan-Cooking-Everyone/dp/1844884872 would be smth for you? It teaches you how to cook different things with a framework so you can essentially make up your own stuff
Used to have a Thamon leaf wallet, which was good while it lasted, though eventually started to split at the fold.. looks like they've changed the designs a little now though.
I've been using a Money Smart Cork Wallet for a few years now and it's held up really well.
This is the first one I've tried and I like it: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01DSZNK7I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lAOqFb2YGE7WR
I blend with oat milk, ice cubes and a banana to make more of a thick, tasty shake
If you have any friends or family that are into cooking then it might be worth buying them Food Lab as a gift and reading it before you give to them! I bought it a few years ago before I went vegan and was into sous vide cooking. It has a kind of scientific approach to explaining how to cook things. How runny an egg is after cooking for x amount of time with photos of each result, etc. Not super handy once you've given up meat and dairy, but he does explain how to prepare veggies in various ways too. Just not quite as applicable to us!
His website is still kind of okay too if you're good at substituting out dairy. He's a talented chef so he has some pretty neat and original ideas.
I think these might also be available in farmfoods, but in a different pack. One that's metallic and green.
I was looking these up last night to see where I'd be able to get them if Aldi stop doing them, and I saw these which I'm sure I've seen in Farmfoods before. I'll check on the way home from work and report back!
I have not used it yet but would love to hear everyones feedback!

Without getting into the rest of your question, I can tell you that the protein powder I use (Pulsin' Unflavoured Soya Protein Powder 1kg |Gluten Free | Vegan https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003V1WWGU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cEUmzbDVFTG52) is 90% protein. Leaves all the other shit for dust!
