Pig Freud

Pink fluffy guitar-playing cartoon pig Pig Freud today announced

his first tour of the UK, with 6 dates during the autumn of 2015. Pig
Freud will be opening a number of vegan events in the UK and
Ireland, in support of grassroots regional vegan education projects
in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand.
Pig Freuds dates include:
October 11th at Olympia London at VegfestUK London
October 17th in Manchester at the Northern Vegan Festival
October 24th in Wolverhampton at the West Midland
vegan Festival
November 1st in Dublin at the Dublin Vegfest
November 15th in Sunderland at The North East Vegan Fest
December 5th in Glasgow at Vegfest Scotland
The lucky recipients of the charity fundraiser are:
Veggies Catering (Nottingham UK)
London Vegan Actions (London UK)
Vegan Intersectionality Project (Dublin)
The Invercargill Vegan Society (Invercargill, New Zealand)
Vegan Athletes for Peace (Widnes UK)

Pig Freud loves all animals,

be they pigs, other animals
or humans, and he would
love to try and help
people go vegan and stop
eating and using animals,
explained Pig Freuds
manager Tim Barford from
VegfestUK and Yaoh, the
sponsors of the tour. and
he is using his considerable
talents to try and help
achieve this. Pig Freud is
visually challenged and
obviously his trotters are
also slightly problematical
when it comes to fret
work, but he loves playing
the electric guitar and is
surprisingly good on it. He
is really looking forward
to his first ever UK tour
and especially honoured to be opening all the vegan shows and
helping raise money for these 5 amazing grassroots regional
vegan education projects. And in doing so, Pig Freud is especially
keen to help encourage vegan activists to focus on peaceful vegan
education as their chosen form of activism if they truly want to
help end the exploitation of animals.
Pig Freud will perform a 15 minute solo at each event, with a
social media campaign to support the performances and tens of
thousands of flyers to be distributed at each event asking people
to consider going vegan and to support their local grassroots
vegan education projects (or start their own), and there will be a
JustGiving option available shortly for his growing legion of global
fans to donate to the 5 chosen projects if they wish.

Pig Freud will be raising

money
for
grassroots
regional vegan education
projects and to help
support the drive towards
going vegan and ending
exploitation of animals
across the globe. Obviously
being a pink fluffy pig,
this is a cause close to
Pig Freuds heart and he
hopes his appearances will
help stimulate people to
consider going vegan, and to encourage vegans to become more
active and more focused on peaceful vegan education.

Prof. Gary L.
Francione Introduction to
the Abolitionist Approach to Animal
Rights
The Abolitionist Approach to
Animal Rights is based on the right
of all sentient beings not to used
exclusively as resources for others.
This approach regards veganism
as a moral imperative and rejects
welfare reform & single-issue
campaigns as problematic both
on moral & practical grounds. The
Abolitionist Approach sees human rights & nonhuman rights as
inextricably intertwined and promotes nonviolence.
abolitionistapproach.com

Dr. Melanie Joy Understanding the

Psychology of Eating Animals for
Effective Vegan Advocacy
Social psychologist Dr. Melanie Joy explains how vegans can
apply their understanding of of the psychology of eating animals
to communicate more effectively with non-vegans, and feel more
empowered living in a dominant carnistic culture.

Prof. Gary L. Francione - The Problems

with Welfare Reform Campaigns and
Single-Issue Campaigns, and Veganism
as a Moral Imperative
This presentation will focus more in depth on why welfare reform
campaigns & single-issue campaigns are morally flawed and
counterproductive. It will also discuss why animal advocates
should engage in creative, non-violent vegan advocacy in order
to shift the paradigm away from animals as property and toward
animals as moral persons.

Tobias Leenaert Making Compassion

easier: a strategy
to achieve vegan
critical mass
Working to bring about change for
animals, our main imperative is to
be as effective as possible. Effectiveness is about being smart, about
vision, about strategy, not just doing what we feel good about, or
what we hope works. We need to also think about convenience,
about communication style, about how to reach people in power,
about the best ways to reach the most people with the least input,
etc. Tobias explains what he believes is the fastest way to achieve
vegan critical mass.
tobiasleenaert.be

*Debate: Ricky
Gervais and Beyonc
good for the Animal
Rights movement, or
confusing it?
Ricky Gervais and Beyonce represent a new breed of celebrities
who are constantly in the news with their support for animals,
or their talk about their vegan diets and lifestyles. For some,
celebrities like this are the best asset for the movement, helping
take vegan lifestyle and animal rights into the masses. For others,
the likes of Ricky and Beyonce are succeeding only in confusing
people about the true meaning of what it means to be vegan and
have compassion for animals.

*The Big Debate: Single-Issue

Campaigns Taking the Animal Rights
Movement Forwards/Backwards?
Single-Issue Campaigns tend to focus
on one area and also often with one
animal and sometimes one nation
involved. Examples of campaigns
against the fur trade, against foie gras,
and against dog festivals, have seen
high-profile media attention and
celebrity support. But have they also
fuelled xenophobia, speciesism, and
in some cases racism and sexism? And do single-issue campaigns
really help people go vegan? These are some of the issues that well
be looking at during this debate.x

Fat, Sick and

Nearly Dead
100 pounds overweight, loaded
up on steroids and suffering
from a debilitating autoimmune
disease, Joe Cross is at the end
of his rope and the end of his
hope. In the mirror he saw a
310lb man whose gut was bigger
than a beach ball and a path laid
out before him that wouldnt
end well with one foot already
in the grave, the other wasnt far
behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY
DEAD is an inspiring film that
chronicles
Joes
personal
mission to regain his health.
With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help longterm, Joe turns to the only option left, the bodys ability to heal
itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and
generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable
juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in
mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.
While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and
longevity, its at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck
driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is
morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from
a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own
epic journey to get well.
What emerges is nothing short of amazing an inspiring tale of
healing and human connection.
Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY
DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an
unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different
worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them
is themselves.

Despite the dairy industrys advertising efforts, an overwhelming

Over one year later, they
became one of the most
active and widely recognized NGOs in Poland with local groups in

Dobrusia will present what they have learned on the way:
the mistakes they have made and possible ways to overcome them,
recruitment techniques that they consider effective,
motivation tips to help everyone do their best,
some thoughts on decision-making process that can empower all
activists,
what many teachers know about people, that many activists dont.
Dobrusia strongly believes that a cohesive group is more than a
sum of its parts. Animal rights is a long-term goal and therefore we
need to strive to make these groups last.

Victoria Moran
- AttractionActivism & the
Good Karma Life
The 12-step folks came up
with it first: When you
have what people want,
theyll do what you did
to get it. In animal rights,
this is attraction-activism:

aspirational living, crafting for yourself the kind of vegan life

that omnivores want to emulate. This strategy is highly effective
because it draws on peoples self-interest and then awakens them
to the ethical and planetary issues. Its also a way for people with
jobs, kids, and other demands to practice activism on a daily basis.
This presentation introduces attraction-activism and youll leave
with the tools youll need to start practicing immediately.

Bullshit
We know that the environment
is suffering from the deadly
effects of livestock production
and that the diseases which kill
most people in the west have
their roots in animal products.
So why are the Government,
church, media and the ruling
classes so silent about it.

Speciesism: the Movie

Earthlings

Blackfish
Blackfish tells the story
of Tilikum, a performing
killer whale that killed
several people while in
captivity. Along the way,
director-producer Gabriela
Cowperthwaite
compiles
shocking
footage
and
emotional interviews to
explore
the
creatures
extraordinary nature, the
species cruel treatment
in captivity, the lives and
losses of the trainers and the
pressures brought to bear by
the multi-billion dollar seapark industry.
This emotionally wrenching, tautly structured story challenges
us to consider our relationship to nature and reveals how little
we humans have learned from these highly intelligent and
enormously sentient fellow mammals.
blackfishmovie.com

The Herd
The Herd is an award
winning short horror film
with a powerful message.
A number of kidnapped
and trafficked women find
themselves imprisoned in
a squalid medical facility.
For Paula her continued
survival relies on her basic
human function.
Escape, on any level, is seemingly impossible as the women are
condemned to a life of enforced servitude at the whims of their
captors; for one reason only their milk.

Speciesism: the
Movie
Speciesism: The Movie is a
new kind of documentary.
It takes viewers on
a
sometimes
funny,
sometimes
frightening
adventure
across
the
country, to expose the
biggest
secrets
about
modern factory farms, and
to ask the biggest questions
about the belief that our
species is more important than the rest. Youll never look at animals
the same way again. Especially humans.
When I entered the theater to see Mark Devriess film Speciesism:
The Movie I was a speciesist. When I came out I could no longer
justify the treatment of animals with any rational arguments
because they were all demolished in this brilliant and compelling
film. The intellectual debate over speciesism is now over.
Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine, monthly
columnist for Scientific American, adjunct professor Chapman
University, and author of Why Darwin Matters
speciesismthemovie.com

Earthlings
EARTHLINGS is an awardwinning
documentary
film about the suffering of
animals for food, fashion,
pets,
entertainment
and
medical
research.
Considered
the
most
persuasive
documentary
ever made, EARTHLINGS
is nicknamed the Vegan
maker for its sensitive
footage shot at animal
shelters, pet stores, puppy
mills,
factory
farms,
slaughterhouses, the leather
and fur trades, sporting
events,
circuses
and
research labs.

Grumpy Old Vegans - Defensive Omnivore Bingo
This will be a workshop session on how to deal with the common
objections one encounters from nonvegans, whether genuine
misconceptions or deliberate attempts to debunk veganism as an
ethical principle.

Grumpy Old Vegans - Vegan or Not

Are there loopholes to veganism? Is it ever morally acceptable
to use animals. In this session, we will be discussing some of the
commonly perceived grey areas such as horse riding, service
animals, medication and backyard eggs.

The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix

and features music by platinum-selling recording artist Moby.
Initially ignored by distributors, today EARTHLINGS is considered
the definitive animal rights film by organizations around the world.
Of all the films I have ever made, this is the one that gets people
talking the most, said Phoenix. For every one person who sees
EARTHLINGS, they will tell three.

Africa and beyond!

The Captains Beard

Rainbow Hands
We needs to eat at least 5 handfuls
of vegetables every day. We also
need all the different vitamins,
minerals and antioxidants in all
the colours of the rainbow. Make
a Rainbow handprint to remind
you to eat a rainbow of 5 portions
of vegetables every day.

Ritchie the Magical

Entertainer - Magic
Show
You may have seen Ritchie the
Magical Entertainer at Vegfest in
past years doing his crazy contortion
act. He is now back with a new fun
filled childrens show; full of comedy,
magic, and his naughty puppet dog
Mr Scruffy. Ritchie has performed
all over the world as a contortionist,
musician, and actor appearing on TV shows like Richard and Judy,
The One Show and Britains Got Talent.

Captain James Tea

Cook - The Acid Test

Our heart needs the minerals and

vitamins in fruit and vegetables to
make electricity to keep it ticking.
Key Message If we die, and our
heart stops sometimes Drs can
bring us back to life by giving our
heart a big electric shock. We discover how important zinc and
copper are and that there are enough minerals in a banana to make
enough electricity to power a small alarm clock.

We use red cabbage to check out key

foods PH levels and also the childrens
levels using litmus strips. Key message
Drink Water not drinks and aim for a
good Work life PH balance

Mr Brainy Potato Head

We need more fats for our brain not fats for our bottoms. Make a
potato head, scoop out his starchy sugary brains and swap them for
omega 3 rich seeds. As his hair grows you can give him a haircut
eat his hair and help your brains too.

Captain James Tea

Cook - Chocolate
Cannon balls

Give Peas a Chance

We need fresh whole foods not half
foods. It may look dead but while a
pea or a grain is whole its packed
with nutrients to help it grow into a
plant thats taller than you are. Once
you crack it open it starts to loose
nutrients and during processing it
loses even more nutrients. Unlock the power and energy in a whole
pea and grow a huge pea plant for yourself and remember when
you eat fresh peas they have all that energy stored inside that helps
you grow too.

Rainbow Fruit
Kebabs
Vegetables are most important
but fruit is important too. Red
strawberries have vitamin K, orange
apricots have iron , yellow bananas
have magnesium and potassium, Green Kiwi fruit are full of
vitamin C, Blue Berries and Purple / Black Cherries are full of antioxidants. If you manage to make a fruit kebab with a full rainbow
you can have some free omega 3 rich chocolate bean sauce to dip
them in.

Captain James Tea

Carob Bean to find better ethical pirate copies of things that are
hurting our health and planet.

Healthy snacks are an important

factor in maintaining a healthy

Key Message Eat fats for your brain not fats for your bottom
essential fats are essential our body cant make them like we can
make saturated fat from sugar so we must eat them.

The children are challenged to get all the colours of the rainbow
into their plant based sushi and then try their concoctions. Key

Amanda
Woodvine
(Vegetarian for Life)
With a little help from
my friends: how to be a
friend to veggie elders
When Joyce went into care in 2007
after developing dementia, she was
given meat to eat despite having been a dedicated animal rights
campaigner. Staff essentially shrugged their shoulders and offered
the excuse: Well, she wouldnt know any difference, would she!
Joyce had no relatives to fight her corner and point out how
unethical this was but something really positive grew out of this
awful disregard. Vegetarian for Life (VfL) came into being to help
protect all the other Joyces in care homes.
So successful has it been that VfL now offers essential support for
older vegetarians and vegans in their own homes as well as in care.

how the internet can

Do you want to join the internet
revolution but are concerned about
online safety, worried you may
be baffled by the complexities,
and overwhelmed by the vastness of information and range of
equipment available?
Well, worry no more. This talk will help to keep it all simple, safe and
easy to get yourself up and running.

Can cats safely go vegan? What about

dogs? Why would they ever want
to? How unnatural would it be? And
how natural are conventional meat-

Understanding
ethical investment,
retirement- and
estate-planning
Ethical or responsible investment now
makes up over 13bn of the UKs savings market. With growing
interest in investment into companies working towards a more
sustainable economy, the size of the market is set to grow. This
session will look at the main forms of responsible investing, that
is; negative screening, positive environmental investment and
engagement activity.
My aim is to provide an informative and practically useful session
avoiding the unnecessary jargon and technical language the
investment industry so often employs!

Amanda Woodvine (Vegetarian for

Life) Nutrition for older vegetarians
and vegans
Over recent years, research has shown that vegetarians and
vegans tend to be very healthy perhaps more so than their meateating peers. Vegetarians typically have a more nutrient-dense
diet than meat eaters. That is, they get more nutrients per portion.
And a well-planned veggie diet can help a range of diseases, such
as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer. This
talk will help you get the balance right whether you are an older
vegetarian or vegan yourself, or simply cater for one.

Vegetarian for Life (VfL) understands
the difficulties in catering for just one

the most popular pages on our website
are our Easy Recipes for One. So our
latest publication focuses on senior
vegetarians and vegans who cook for
themselves.
The recipes in our new Cooking for One guide are designed to
make just one or two portions. VfLs roving chef, Jane Hughes,
demonstrates some dishes from the guide, which is available free

Life is not about denial.

Its abundance.
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT.
Only 100% raw organic nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables, herbs, spices, cocoa beans and superfoods are used.
The ingredients are sprouted, marinated or mixed
and then dehydrated at temperatures below 42 C
in unique dehydrators developed by Lifefood itself. Thus, all the natural essence and the vitamins, minerals and nutrients remain intact and
easily digestible.

Lifefood was born out of love

for life and for everything living,
says its founder Tereza Havrlandov.
Lifefood was founded in 2006 by Tereza Havrlandov.
At the time she was a 24 year old sportswoman and
a rawfoodist who had difficulty in finding good-quality
raw, vegan foodstuffs on the market. In the end I decided to produce them myself. In the most economical way
and of such quality and range of flavours that Id like
them myself. So that theyd be in accordance with my
nutritional approach, which I tend to see as a lifestyle
that should be in harmony with the whole living world
around us, says Tereza Havrlandov.

All Lifefood products are 100% free of gluten, lactose, sugar and any animal-derived components.
No additives, artificial flavours, sweeteners, cane
sugar, hydrogenated fat, starch fillers, colours or
preservatives added.
Gluten-free status is regularly checked by lab
tests, and the production facility is 100% organic
and vegan certified.
Today, Lifefood is present in over 20 countries and now
is the biggest European producer of top-quality, organic,
raw vegan products. Tereza and her team actively cooperate with the best
organic-certified farmers
from around the world.
Everyone in Lifefood is
dedicated not only to
bringing to the market
natural, vegan foods as
the best kind of nutrition
that Nature provides, but
also to sustainability and
an environmentally friendly approach to business.

of healthy fats providing ample fuel to busy individuals and
sportspeople throughout the day. They have a number of different
varieties in their repertoire: smoosh bars, flavoured raisins, oatie
bars, and crunch bars.
The smoosh bars consist of 100% raw natural ingredients such as
nuts, dates and fruits smooshed together, with no added sugar,
syrup or other artificials. These bars come in 9 different flavours:
Cocoa Mint, Cocoa Orange, Cocoa Delight, Caffe Mocha, Rhubarb
& Custard, Cashew Cookie, Ginger Bread, Pecan Pie and Berry
Delights. These snack bars won the 2013 VegfestUK awards in the
Best Raw Product category. Their other snacks are equally tasty

and satisfy many hunger pangs

with high-raw, natural and nutritious
vegan ingredients.
Nakd products are available to
purchase at numerous outlets in the
UK, including supermarkets, Holland
and Barrett, independent wholefood

Plamil Foods
Plamil, the oldest vegan
company in the UK has
been pioneering new
products for over fifty
years and making dairy
free chocolate since 1983.
plamilfoods.co.uk
Facebook Plamil Foods
Twitter @PlamilFoods
Although many popular varieties of dairy free milky chocolate
are often marketed to children they contain more sugar than
most types of chocolate. At a time when the reduction of sugar is
recommended for good health reasons, most parents are looking
to reduce the amount consumed by the family and especially
their children. Fortunately this is now possible. A great tasting
alternative has been created.
Lots of This None of That is a scrumptious dairy free milky
chocolate bar that amazingly has reduced sugar. It is also gluten
and nut free. A 30g bar of Lots of This None of That still contains
less sugar than 20g of similar chocolate. Produced by Plamil, the
highest ranked Ethical chocolate manufacturer, Lots of This None
of That is made using renewable energy. This revolutionary new
bar is the future for dairy free chocolate. The cocoa is certified
under the UTZ Certified sustainability programme.

Then you have come to the right place VeggieVision TV!

After spending time and money getting a veggie TV programme off
the ground and being told that Its ahead of its time and too much
of a niche market, Karin Ridgers realised that she needed to think
How can I get a positive, veggie friendly TV programme off of the
ground, rather than Its never going to work! (With many thanks
Tony Robbins, American Peak Performance Coach.)
And she thought of the internet. Well this was before You Tube and
Facebook too!
VeggieVision waited patiently (well not that patiently at times!) for
technology to catch up with their idea and they are now so pleased
to show you the exciting new and improved VeggieVision.TV - the
internet TV station promoting everything fun and positive about
veggie living and more.
VeggieVision TV is packed with fun, interesting and hilarious clips
from all over the world addressing the fact that here in the UK there
are no veggie/vegan TV programmes.
