I have a vegan blog at http://www.innerbalm.com.au/veganism.html where I feature recipes and a vegan guide. My blog and website started out with a wider range of topics, but I gradually figured out that what I enjoy writing about and want to share is veganism. I think it is interesting that many people start out just giving ...

Reading labels could pretty much be a vegan’s full-time job. Everything from the clothing we purchase to what we eat should contain a list of all ingredients or materials used. These lists help us determine if we are ethically consuming. A “Vegan” label is an easy indicator that our food/other products are okay. Even without this label, many ...

Labels can mean a variety of things in the vegan community. Actual, physical labels on food, clothing and other products are critical to help us ensure that we are not consuming anything we don’t want to consume. But there is another kind of labelling that takes place – the way we label ourselves. This week ...
