Sponsors
Massive gratitude to the following sponsors for Brighton this year many of whom have stuck with us through thick and thin and kept the show going :-)

Interview

Animal Welfare Party

The AWP is the UKs 1st political party dedicated to animals. Theyre attempting to win a seat in the EU Parliament in the May EU Elections. Lets make history for animals by voting for them! animalwelfareparty.org

Interview with Animal Welfare Party leader Vanessa Hudson

As the 2014 EU Parliamentary Elections take place in less than 2 months time, were fully behind the AWPs attempt to win a seat. Here we speak to party leader Vanessa Hudson on her thoughts about the party and its prospects at and after the elections. When was the AWP set up and what are its aims?
We set up in 2006 as Animals Count and contested 3 elections under that name. We changed our name to the AWP in 2013. Our mission is to create a fairer, more equitable society in which the needs of people, animals and the environment are all properly taken into account. Thats not happening at the moment and were determined to change it.

How many people are working to make the AWP campaign successful?
To date AWP is run entirely by volunteers of which there are many. Often were working with limited resources so any help in terms of time or donations is a huge one. This is movement with little money but lots of passion, which were aiming to harness to make this movement an unbeatable force.

Raw Chocolate Company
Proud producers of pure, organic, fairtrade, vegancertified and raw chocolates, with 3 product ranges: Raw Chocolate Bars, Raw Chocolate Berries and Supreme Foods. therawchocolatecompany.com Were standing in the London constituency at least, more constituencies if funds allow. London is our target constituency because of the high proportion of vegetarian and vegans there a group highly likely to support our policies. There are approximately over 500,000 vegetarians in the London electorate and we need just 140,000 votes to win a seat. The challenge is in spreading the word as far wide as we can and in combating voter apathy, particularly making sure younger people vote.

What would success in the EU Elections mean?

Our party is part of a Pan-European movement that includes the animal parties of the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Portugal were all attempting to return dedicated representatives for animals to the EU Parliament for the first time in history. This is a moment in time as crucial as any in the history of human rights or womens rights. Our election success will send a message to the rest of the world that mans relationship with animals is changing, that we are re-defining who we are and what we believe in. This is about writing a new chapter in the history of humankind and, we believe, no other partys offering gives the electorate the same possibility of making such a statement to the world.

Plant-based nutrition vs Animal-based nutrition

Many people think that eating solely plant-based foods is not healthy and are still convinced that meat, dairy, fish and eggs are a necessary part of our diet. But as this EVOLVE! film production shows, by eating a variety of plant-based foods, its easy to get all the nutrients we require, with the added bonus that plant-based foods contain no saturated animal fat, no cholesterol and none of the acidifying effects of animal derived foods. evolvecampaigns.org.uk/evolve/videos.aspx

What We can Do to End World Hunger

This EVOLVE! video explains that meat-eating societies are the main cause of world hunger because they feed a disproportionate percentage of the worlds crops to the 60 billion land animals annually killed by the meat, dairy and egg industries worldwide, and tens of billions of marine animals... instead of the 7 billion people on the planet. evolvecampaigns.org.uk/evolve/videos.aspx

De Haas in Der Marathon (the Pacer in the Marathon)

The Party for the Animals in the Netherlands represents a new political movement that values animal welfare and the environment. The foundation of the party in October 2002 was received with scepticism within traditional politics. However, it quickly appeared to function as a pacer in the marathon , recalls Marianne Thieme - co-founder and party leader. This film provides an insight into the public reception of this pioneering political movement, within science, politics and media. dehaasindemarathon.nl/en

Frys

Frys are truly an inspiration to mankind. Based in South Africa, they produce some of the worlds best vegan meat products that are irresistible not only to veggies, vegans and meat reducers, but even the most hardcore carnivores who after every bite are left bemused as to why they didnt give vegan foods a chance before. Not to be missed is their sublime chicken burger, a massive favourite in the nation and particularly the VegfestUK office. It won the VegfestUK 2011 award in the Best Vegan Meat category. Its texture and flavour are so incredibly similar to the real thing, that its tempting to think that were actually biting into real chicken. And it truly puts their meat-based chicken counterparts to shame both in terms of taste and ethics. Also topping many vegan meat charts are their innumerable varieties of meat-free steaks, pies, sausages, rolls, schnitzels, nuggets, and many other sumptuous creations. Their Pepper and Steak Pie in particular has won over numerous discerning taste buds and scooped last years VegfestUK award in the Best veggie meat product category. Thanks to the phenomenal work of Pat and Lisa Drummy from Frys Distribution UK, Frys products are now widely available across our nation. They can be found in Ocado and numerous independent health shops as well as Holland and Barrett stores. Frys UK distribution now reaches the 3663 chain, which means that virtually no one has to miss out, not even the kids in schools or those working in hospitals, prisons and universities. Just go and demand that your workplace stocks these amazing gems!

The support that we have received from these guys cannot be understated. Since our shows began 11 years ago, Frys UK have given us extremely loyal and generous backing, even during the not so good times. Our shows would never have taken off the way they have now without Frys behind us. So all our heartfelt gratitude must go to this tremendous brand and also to Pat and Lisa. frysvegetarian.co.uk

Cocona

Living Naturally

Cocofina is a British brand of coconut juice that has won several taste awards. It is a natural sports drink but has several other benefits due to the unique combination of minerals, vitamins and salts. On top of all this Cocofina coconut juice tastes great and is incredibly refreshing. Coconut juice also known as coconut water is the clear liquid that is found inside the young green coconuts. Young green coconuts are harvested at their water ready peak (around 7 months) and bottled at source at various locations depending on the season. Coconut water does not contain any fat/cholesterol and is very low in calories (Around 21 kcal per 100 ml). Cocofina coconut water is ideal as a sports rehydration drink since its naturally isotonic and contains potassium and sodium salts that you normally lose during exercise. It contains twice as much potassium as a banana and is loaded with vitamins and minerals. cocofina.com facebook.com/pages/Cocofina/140783995935811

Magpie are a London based studio who design and manufacture homewares and gifts, all with a distinctly British edge. Just like their namesake bird, the Magpie, they are inveterate hoarders and love to have their collections displayed around them. Vegan owned, their love of nature extends to their methods of manufacture. All their products are vegan-friendly; they do not manufacture using any animal products, whether thats leather or bone china. For them, it is incredibly important to know that no animal has suffered or been killed to produce one of their products. So their ceramics are all made from Porcelain which uses a mixture of 3 clays, kaolin, quartz, and feldspar. They do not use Bone China which is made from 50% animal bone, burnt and then ground up and mixed with the clay. All their bags and purses are made from animal friendly cotton, pleather and polypropylene. All their cards and notebooks are made from 100% recycled paper. Their products are all listed and carry the Vegan Society logo. They also donate 15% of every sale to their favoured charity The Cats Protection. Because of their contributions, tens of thousands of cats have been fed, cared for and hopefully re-homed with loving families. magpieline.com facebook.com/magpieline
