If you don’t know where your chicken came from then you have to accept that it probably came from here, or worse.

It’s called a V8 Vegan and it’s delicious!

V8 Vegan

This is [...]

One Month, I made it!

I have now been vegan for one month. To be honest I feel great, I have even had a couple of people comment on how I look leaner. There has only been a few moments where I have wanted to cheat but I managed them.

Only just the other night I was driving home [...]
