The Language of Consent
I have been thinking a lot about consent lately; it’s become a bit of a buzzword and that’s no bad thing. As an educator, I generally think about consent in terms of sex education and the fact that still, in 2018, consent is not explicitly taught to primary aged children.

5 Reasons You Should Go (Almost) Vegetarian
I grew up in a family that doesn't believe in a meal without meat and where a breakfast isn't a breakfast without bacon. Later in life, my friend and dating circle began to include more and more vegetarians. I would talk at length with them about how and why, and was supportive of their choices, but could never fully commit myself. After all, I was raised that the finest delicacy is a perfectly cooked steak.

The Truth About How Animals End Up On Our Plates
Let me start off by letting that image sink in... I’m here today to give some insight to a massive issue that some of you may not have ever even thought about. In the back of our minds we all know what happens to an animal for it to end up on our plates... right? Well if you guessed it dies, you’re only half right. What you are about to read and see (yes, see. Pictures are worth a thousand words...) may be hard to swallow.

They Say Happiness is a Choice
All my life I have been an animal lover; the typical female that has to stop for every dog on the street just to give it a cuddle, or feed the streets stray cat and laugh at funny pictures found of a horse and monkey being best friends on Facebook but I never could really comprehend the use of animals in this world.

Healthy Crock Pot Recipes for Vegetarians
Being a vegetarian can severely limit your options when trying to pin down a recipe for a delicious home-cooked meal. However, that doesn't mean it has to, as there are plenty of healthy choices out there — you just might have to do a little digging. And there is probably one great kitchen item you'r overlooking: the Crock Pot.

Homemade Tomato Sauce
Today I am making homemade tomato sauce. This is one of the condiments I like to prepare and have on hand regularly. I have always loved ketchup and was used to slathering it with almost every meal. I knew I needed to cut back as manufactured ketchup is full of preservatives. My brother drew attention to this addiction and would joke “Your main meal today is ketchup with fries on the side!”

Quick and Easy Crock Pot Recipes for Vegetarians
Crock pot recipes are always a great choice for a weeknight meal. They are the ultimate "lazy chef" option that tastes great, packs tons of nutrition, and also allows you to get in a full day of work while you cook dinner.

How Will We Eat in the Future?
The world’s population is increasing. It’s projected to rise from 7.4 billion people in 2016 to 9.2 billion people in 2050. That’s 1.8 billion extra mouths to feed in a world where, even now, people often go hungry. What’s needed is a revolution in how our food is grown, delivered and prepared. By using technology to further advance crop and meat production, the human race could create a sustainable future for not only our planet but for generations to come.

The Vegan/Vegetarian Challenge (Veganuary)
Earlier this year I met some friends who are dedicated vegans and they were promoting Veganuary (a month of eating vegan only food). This was so that people could take advantage of the fact that they are filled with a desire to change their lifestyle into something healthier after the excesses of the festive period. It’s also very good on your wallet as it’s a lot cheaper than buying meat on a regular basis. While I wanted to join them, I wasn’t sure how I would go about doing that and I had decided to undertake a different challenge and that was Dryanuary. This is where you give up alcohol for a month which I achieved, although it was not without its difficulties as I was still undergoing a healthy eating challenge but I was very happy about the result it produced. I also repeated the experiment abroad, 3 months later, with my family; however, we did slip up for Easter which was in the middle of this abstinence.

The Benefits of a Pescetarian Diet
As the environmental and financial costs of red meat, and white meat for that matter (reed: pork, beef, lamb, venison etc. for red meat and chicken, turkey and other birds for white meat) continue to rise globally, seafood of all kinds are becoming more popular in order to maintain a healthy diet and obtain essential minerals like omega-3 fatty acids and zinc without resorting to supplements.

A Carnivore Turns Vegan
I've never liked social justice warriors. They always annoyed me, primarily because half of them seem like they're only doing it so they can post about it on Facebook and act like they're holier than thou. I've also never had a problem with people eating meat. I do, however, have a problem with the way most of that meat is obtained. It's one thing to hunt and kill your food- it's quite another to have entire warehouses packed with living beings who are slaughtered brutally by the thousands after a lifetime of mostly suffering. It's quite simple for me, it's a principle based on survival of the fittest- if I can't kill it myself, I don't deserve to eat it. I would be the predator that failed to catch its prey. If I was desperate maybe I could, but at this point in time there's plenty of other things to eat.
