8 Best Vegan Publications
There are some stunning publications
in this section - covering
every different aspect of the
vegan lifestyle imaginable.
The huge rise in internet use
has not deterred from the quality
and abundance of excellent
magazines, especially form
the major campaigners groups.
Indeed, it has added to it.
And now we have our first veggie
TV internet station too!
- The Vegan: This
quarterly publication from
the Vegan Society has been
the essential vegan publication
for years, and today holds
it's own amongst many as
the foremost for information
about the vegan lifestyle.
The magazine focuses mainly
on the achievements of others
which is always refreshing,
although the Winter issue
of 2007 broke with tradition
and carried a 2 page feature
on the marvellous people
who actually work for the
Society, which was equally
refreshing. Long may this
particular vessel for the
vegan lifestyle continue
to flourish. www.vegansociety.com
- VegNews: This
is a USA publication so may
well be unknown to many in
the UK and beyond, it is
a superb read and has excellent
features as well as a really
good website. The UK is turning
veggie faster than any other
nation anywhere, and it has
to be said that just like
in the football the Shermans
do have some catching up
to do when it comes to eating
vegan, apparently New York
has superb vegan options
though, and just like Tim
Howard the supreme Everton
and USA keeper, VegNews has
a worthy place amongst the
World's best vegan publications www.vegnews.com
- Get Fresh: Brilliant
quarterly raw lifestyle magazine
oozing with passion and a
vibrancy that reflects the
best of the worlds liveliest
lifestyle - the Raw Food
Vegan Lifestyle. Editor Sarah
Best consistently lives up
to her name as issue after
issue breaks new ground in
this rapidly developing journey
of discovery into the most
nutritious options available
today. Backed by the Fresh
Network, an oasis of wondrous
living foods, superfoods
and equipment. www.fresh-network.com/getfresh
- Outrage: Consistently
marvellous quarterly publication
from Animal Aid, covering
their widespread campaign
activities across the UK
and beyond. Lively and challenging
articles as well as occasionally
distressing reports (especially
their undercover operations)
balanced with positive achievements
and successes as the UK's
most loved Animal Campaigning
group goes about its business
quietly and effectively.
Always informative, inspirational
and interesting. www.animalaid.org.uk
- Viva! Life: Viva!
have been going 12 years
now and grown into Europe's
largest vegetarian pressure
group, and their publication
Viva! Life every 4 months
reflects their high profile
campaigning activities across
the UK and beyond. Thought
provoking and challenging
articles especially from
Co Director Tony Wardle make
this an inspirational read
for all activists especially,
to see what can be achieved
when like minded individuals
work together for a common
goal: www.viva.org.uk/vivalife.html
- Lifescape: Monthly
glossy that has a genuine
veggie/vegan policy amongst
its healthy living and lifestyle
features. Some excellent
writers have flowed through
the pages of Lifescape, and
its mainstream appeal makes
it a fave amongst many, whilst
still containing the sort
of reviews and interviews
that are appealing to veggie/vegans
across the globe. Run by
a delightful family team
headed by Raj and her mum
Sri, we are very fond of
this publication and are
sure it will continue to
grow and flourish. Great
website too: www.lifescapemag.com
- VeganViews: This
is tradition with a capital
T. Very inspirational. A
quarterly publication stretching
to way back in the day, available
both in printed format and
also online. VeganViews has
been running a long time
and consistently covers a
wide area of vegan issues
as well as reviews, letters,
news etc. You can subscribe
to the printed version, or
access online for free, which
is very good of them, as
well as being more eco friendly!
Hope to see this one run
and run, we love these small
independent publications
that are not in the hands
of anyone but the writers
themselves. Thanks! www.veganviews.org.uk
- VeggieVision: VeggieVision
has taken the whole vegan
lifestyle to another level
with the world's first and
only online TV station dedicated
to the veggie/vegan lifestyle.
Must watch mini TV programmes
include interviews with various
veggie clebs including Jodie
Marsh, Benjamin Zeph and
Jerome Flynn, as well as
cookery demos and roving
reports from out and about.
Brilliant team behind this
one spearheaded by the luxurious
and highly adorable Karin
Ridgers, the brainchild and
innovator of so many vegan
initiatives including here
latest venture - the UK's
first veggie/vegan radio
show! (see here for online
version - www.gatewayfm.com/index04.htm ).
Added to this numerous events
and parties, plus her own
veggie newspaper! Quite a
stunning contribution towards
a cruelty free planet. www.veggievision.co.uk
