It’s much easier than you think – and not only are you helping to save animals and the environment but it’s good for your health too. Result!

That means ‘no thanks’ to: l meat (beef, lamb, pork, goat etc) – or anything from them (p âté, bacon, brawn etc) l poultry (chicken, turkey, duck, goose, pheasant etc) – or anything from them (chicken liver; foie gras etc) l fish or fish roe (caviar etc) l water creatures, sea or fresh-water (prawns, oysters, crabs, lobsters, mussels etc) l by-products from animals such as gelatine, animal fat (lard), isinglass (fish bladders), lanolin (sheep’s wool – often from slaughtered sheep) l dairy (milk, cheese, cream, yoghurt, crème fraiche etc) l eggs l by-products from dairy or eggs such as whey, skimmed milk, casein, albumen l honey – because bees are frequently killed during its production. And it’s their food, not ours! l leather, wool or silk – a lot of wool comes from slaughtered sheep.
