Vegetarian Survey

What’s it like being vegetarian in the world today? Is it easy, challenging, satisfying, fun? What’s difficult and is there anything that could really make a difference? The Big Veggie Survey, a major new research project, commissioned by the Vegetarian Society and carried out by market research company ORC International, aims to find out.

The Vegetarian Society, an educational charity, wants to hear from vegetarians, vegans, ex-veggies and meat-reducers to learn more about the experiences of vegetarians in today’s world. The Big Veggie Survey is also aimed at caterers, carers and teachers, indeed anyone with an interest in vegetarianism. The survey is open now and runs until 3 September at www.vegsoc.org/survey 

Vegetarian Shoes

I used to have a much loved pair of shoes from Vegetarian Shoes based in Brighton (but with an online shop too) that had a sticker inside saying: shoes for feet that don’t eat meat. It always made me smile when I put the shoes on. Sadly my most recent pair of shoes from this great company don’t have the sticker, but they’re still stylish and comfortable.

Vegetarian Shoes now has a sale on with some great bargains. So do take a look.

Walking

Walking is a great form of exercise, particularly if you haven't done much exercise before. Here are some tips from the US National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases:

# Try to walk at least three times per week. Each week, add 2 or 3 minutes to your walk. If you walk less than three times per week, you may need more time to adjust before you increase the pace or frequency of your walk.

# To avoid stiff or sore muscles and joints, start gradually. Over several weeks, begin walking faster, going further, and walking for longer periods of time.

# Set goals and rewards. Examples of goals are participating in a fun walk or walking continuously for 30 minutes.
