New VVF guide!
 The Soya Story
Confused about soya? Is it healthy? Can it harm? VVF’s new exciting soya guide The Soya Story – everything you wanted to know about soya. The truth about how it impacts our health and the environment answers all these concerns and more. This 60-page full-colour guide describes the nutritional benefits of soya foods, the wide range of health benefits and the environmental impact of soya farming for meat production (cattle food) and features a wide range of tasty, inventive recipes from miso soup to chocolate mousse. It contains useful information about soya foods that will both inform and reassure you that soya is a healthy, nutritious and safe food for people of all ages.

By Dan Beaton

Get your kids in shape with veggie kids website
 The
VVF has launched a fantastic new family website, where
you can check how your kids are shaping up.
Government statistics warn that nine out of 10 children could grow up
with dangerous amounts of fat in their bodies - so helping them to make
the right food choices could help prevent life-threatening illnesses
such as cancer, type 2 diabetes and
heart disease from developing in later life.
www.veggiekids.org.uk is a
fantastic new resource designed as a one-stop-information
shop for veggie kids and parents. It features everything you need to
know about how kids can enjoy a happy and nutritious animal-free diet -
and includes a facility to check whether or not your child is
overweight.
If you are not already a member have you considered joining the VVF? You’ll receive the colourful, easy-to-read Viva!Life magazine, five fact sheets in a special folder, campaign information, and you’ll be entitled to free advice on vegetarian and vegan nutrition from our nutritionists.
The Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation can help you and your family to start eating healthily – giving everyone the chance of a brighter future.
“The vast majority of diseases that kill most of us before our time in the West can be prevented by consuming an all plant-based diet. There are no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not obtained to better advantage in plant-based foods.”
T. Colin Campbell, Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry

Keep the Doctor Away – the Veggie Way!
Add years to your life, cut your risk of killer diseases and whittle away the pounds – that’s the message behind a new guide from the VVF. Written with healthcare professionals in mind, the guide Veggie Diets – Protecting Your Health is brimming with research which shows the many health advantages of following a plant-based diet. Its clear and helpful presentation, scientifically proven advice and nutritional guidelines drew interest and accolades from many of those attending the Primary Care exhibition held at Birmingham NEC in May. We gave away over a thousand guides, as well as magazines and other resources, to GPs, health visitors, midwives and other health professionals. To order a free copy for your local health centre, GP or practice nurse, simply email Justine.
