Yeah it’s still supposedly a fairly high proportion over here who are intolerant as well. I feel like I read about 20%.
So we’re still sort of fighting it apparently. And people don’t think they’re intolerant, they just get stomach pain for a bit and move on.
“Most people in the world are lactose intolerant, but a genetic mutation where a cytosine © nucleotide in a person’s DNA is replaced with a thymine (T) nucleotide allows them to digest milk.”
The "China Study” explores the condition in detail.
Thank you for raising this important point that veganism is not a diet. Plant-based eating can be a diet or a style of eating but veganism is so much more
Any recommendations for something to add into a stir-fry 
Not bloody tofu either 
I’m fine with all the veg, sauces, rice or noodles just once in a while want a different texture thrown into the mix.
Bit of a treat item cus not super cheap but I throw in the This isn’t Chicken little breaded/nugget pieces sometimes. Fry them up in spices/soy sauce/whatever first then in with the noodles and veg 
Oh thanks I’d actually seen them about a few weeks ago and thought they sounded nice. Totally forgot about them as it means going down to Sainsbury’s, will pay a visit this week to try them out.
Can second these - they’re great!
The regular unbreaded This pieces are also amazing, I use them in a lot of different recipes. Having them tonight in yaki udon.
Good news for oat milk
does that mean it might not be out of stock on my ASDA order so often in a couple years time 
Asda did a banging own brand version which they completely ruined. One day it sported new packaging with a claim that it wasa new improved recipe.
You mean you’ve tweaked what goes in to make it cheaper to produce. It’s ratings from customers have completely bombed on that item.
How have I never searched for vegan supermarkets before 🤷
Just been on a binge ordering, think I’m going to have every cheese alternative known to man in my fridge 
It’s naff round here for alternative stuff, I always just end up looking at the shelves like meh. Got a fair few things to try out so I can decide what’s good and what’s not.
I have been ordering from Vegan Kind for about 5 months now. I make one big order a month. Very happy with their service and they have so many great items that are hard to get elsewhere.
I was overwhelmed with choice ngl, quite literally did a virtual supermarket sweep 
I’m planning on doing a monthly shop, the next one will be a bit more refined and not just grabbing everything going.
I’ll end up doing a load of batch cooking for the fresh stuff that comes and just sling it back into freezer.
Not the melts, but I’ve bought Vego hazelnut chocolate spread several times before from our local co-op, and it is gooooood 
I think you’ll enjoy those!
+1 for everything Vego! They do these little individually wrapped ones too that are fantastic. And a spread in a jar which goes great on pancakes.
So with a little under 9 months to go… I’ve already made a Christmas Cake in February and a Christmas Pudding last week
Can never be too prepared, the cakes been getting weekly feedings of Brandy, now moving to fortnightly. The pudding will be getting fortnightly feedings an all, I made this one with amaretto.
April is making mincemeat to store and fully develop its flavours ready for making mince pies in December.
I picked these up in Sainsbury’s at the weekend, pleasantly surprised at the texture and taste. Will certainly be something I pick up again to keep stashed away in the freezer.
I’ve become addicted to the Burger King plant based whopper, think I need to ask them to ban me from ordering them again.
Warning for any truly vegan people it’s not technically vegan friendly as it’s cooked on the same grill as the meat burgers. For me that’s fine as I’m only plant based eating, the smokiness from cooking it adds to the flavour.
After what must be many thousands of requests Lidl has finally released a range of vegan products this week 
Hard to understand why as an important retailer they have dragged their feet to introduce a range to compete with every other major supermarket.
They had a limited range to cash in on veganuary and then nothing.
