This sanctuary offers them a loving home for the rest of their natural lives! This 18-year-old sanctuary is run by Fiona, Martin and Meg, who believe in and act upon compassion. When animals are in dire need, they do their utmost to help. They cannot save the whole world, but they have made an enormous difference to the hundreds of animals they have rescued both past and present, all of whom are remembered with affection, and all left this world knowing that humans can be kind, considerate and caring. If you would like to support their work, you can do this by adopting one of the animals, and supporting them on their stall at VegfestUK London! All animals chosen have similar histories and very sad stories, and so are true representatives of all who live there.

Vegan Bodybuilders Competition

Dave Spikey - Comedian

People who are not vegan can ask vegans the darndest things - but often, thats because of simple, honest, curiosity about a different way of life. A panel of comedians and commentators will hear the questions they get asked, from the fundamental to the absurd, and try to find answers that will amuse and hopefully convince everyone. Ian McDonald hosts. (To be recorded for an episode of VegfestUK award nominated internet radio show The Vegan Option) http://theVeganOption.org 16 | Vegfestuk

Organised by the Vegan Bodybuilders, this will be a single dumbbell shoulder press, with men using a 17Kg dumbbell and women using a 7Kg dumbbell.

League Against Cruel Sports Other Victims of Wildlife Crime

When people think of hunting, they usually think about the traditional images of foxes and of men in red coats chasing wildlife across the countryside on horseback with a pack of dogs. What people dont realise is that there are a number of other victims of hunting as well as the hunted animal. In this talk, well look into undesirable and antisocial consequences of hunting on individuals, families, businesses and communities and their livestock and domestic animals.

What does it mean to care deeply about animals? Do you think you could be a more effective animal campaigner? Is positive, practical action for animals important to you? Do you want to understand cruelty-free, vegan living as more than just a material lifestyle choice? Join me to investigate why animals and their wellbeing are important to us. We will take a fresh look at living vegan, and explore effective ways to campaign for animals.

Is the campaign to encourage the public to buy high welfare animal products, such as those labelled Freedom Food, organic and free range, a positive development that brings solid, measurable benefits to farmed animals? Or does this movement sanitise and legitimise unacceptable farming practices?

For anyone facing a traumatic health challenge, life can become extremely tough and fraught with hitherto unconsidered problems. It does take great strength of character and a wicked resolve to overcome whatever is thrown at one. It is, however, absolutely possible to improve emotional, spiritual and physical fitness to stay on top of any challenge. The most empowering nutritional practice I have found is consuming a high amount of nutrients which are both alive and vitalising - hence conferring energy, oxygen and vibrancy, enabling one to become more intuitive and knowledgeable in accessing our inner healing system.

It took me ages to graduate from gristly sausages and cheese on everything, to mock meats and fancy schmancy vegan restaurants. I wish Vegfests had been around when I was a child. In this workshop, I will introduce you to the vegan world from the perspective of a girl whose weekly treat as a child was a dinner of steak and chips in front of Ted Rogers 321. www.planthappy.com

playfulness - not about doing yoga postures. Apart from being really good fun, it has many health benefits: reduce stress, boost your immune system, increase your oxygen levels, reduce pain, lower blood pressure and improve circulation. Its good aerobic exercise too. It helps you relax, feel good, be more resilient, productive and focussed - a great way to connect with others and have fun. www.lettingthesunshinein.com

William Bedford - Norm theory and the hijacking of culture

Archaeologist, Anthropologist, and Cultural Theorist William Bedford explores a question he has been asking for years: why do we choose food the way we do, despite the health risks? For thousands of years humans have simply eaten whatever they could; are we just not ready for the choices the modern world gives us? Or is there something about how our society is structured which subconsciously shapes our choices and in turn affects our health outcomes? If so, how can we change it? www.vegfest.co.uk

Sunday
11:30 13:00 15:00 16:00 17:30 Eating (a RAVE Diet production) Forks over Knives Sea the Truth Got the Facts on Milk? Peaceable Kingdom: the Journey Home

Part sociological experiment and part adventure comedy, Vegucated follows 3 meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agreed to adopt a plant-based diet for six weeks. Lured by tales of weight lost and health regained, they began to uncover the hidden sides of animal agriculture that they eventually risked everything to expose. But was it easy for them to ditch meat and dairy, and deal with customary get-togethers with carnivorous friends and relatives? www.getvegucated.com

The Witness follows a construction contractor from a tough Brooklyn neighbourhood who explains with humour and sincerity how he feared and avoided animals for most of his life, until the love of a kitten opened his heart, inspiring him to rescue abandoned animals and bring his message of compassion to the streets of New York. www.witnessfilm.org

Eating

GTFOM? is a hilarious feature documentary that questions the deep-rooted belief in the health benefits of milk and dairy products. Filmmaker Shira Lane takes a road trip across the US to get the facts from the Department of Agriculture, meeting with top doctors, researchers, dieticians, dairy farmers, parents, teachers, and plenty of ordinary Americans who provide both comic relief and food for thought along the way. www.milkdocumentary.com

Peaceable Kingdom: the Journey Home

Watched by over 40 million people worldwide, this awardwinning RAVE diet production argues boldly that eating is the number-one cause of all diseases in the Western world. It looks at why heart disease, cancers and diabetes are largely avoidable and were literally unheard of before the 1900s, why obtaining enough protein and calcium should be our last worry, why most doctors treat symptoms rather than causes, how politicians have become our dieticians, and many other thought-provoking topics. www.ravediet.com/whatsinfilm.html

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days

Simply Raw follows 6 Americans who attempted to reverse their chronic diabetes with a 30-day detox program on a strictly raw wholefood plant-based diet, at the world-renowned Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. Despite a tough period of transition deprived of their loved ones and in particular their old comfort foods, they persisted and showed marked improvements in their health and vitality at the end of the program, and vowed to stay on their new diet afterwards. www.rawfor30days.com/themovie

Making the Connection

A concise, comprehensive masterpiece by the Vegan Society that argues from various angles that, instead of asking Why are you vegan?, we should be asking Why arent you vegan?. Topics include: the myth that vegan foods are boring, performance of vegans in sports, raising children on a plant-based diet, why such diet is better for global food security, stockfree organic farming, intensive animal agriculture and speciesism. www.vegansociety.com/resources/making-the-connection. aspx The film features MP Kerry McCarthy and marathon runner Fiona Oakes, who will both appear at our show on Sunday.

Forks over Knives

An absorbing, emotional documentary which follows several people who grew up with raising animals for food, but have now come to question the basic assumptions of their lifestyle. Their riveting stories reveal the loveable individualities of animals, the deep emotional pain experienced by dairy farmers when auctioning dairy cows and goats for their livelihoods, how the intensification of agricultural practices came at a huge cost to the wellbeing of animals and even agro businessmen themselves, and the failure of humane farming laws in preventing worldwide injustices towards animals. www.peaceablekingdomfilm.org

Meat the Truth

A high-profile documentary by the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation, Meat the Truth is presented by Marianne Thieme, leader of the Party for the Animals in the Netherlands, that focuses on the huge environmental impact of livestock production. It questions why many films such as Al Gores The Inconvenient Truth conveniently ignored livestocks contribution to climate change, and explains why meat reduction is much more effective than switching to hybrid cars in lowering greenhouse gas emissions. www.meatthetruth.nl

Forks over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. www.forksoverknives.com

Sea the Truth

Another superb documentary by the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation, Sea the Truth covers various topics on seafood consumption - the mechanism of modern intensive fishing, how it has led to worldwide marine life depletion, the true sources of widely coveted omega-3 fats in fish, fish sentience, and the high levels of toxins present in seafood. This documentary also shows that there is no such thing as sustainable fishing. www.seathetruth.nl

No Place Like Home

A brand new film from CAPS exposing conditions in UK zoos and explaining why they should be phased out. Zoos in this country are often seen as amongst the best in the world, but as this expos reveals, animals are still lingering in miserable conditions, all so people can enjoy a day out. www.captiveanimals.org/library

Dude, Where do you get your Protein?

Best Before: the London Revolution

Protein is the most revered nutrient of all and has driven our food choices for over a hundred years. But what if (almost) everything you thought you knew about protein was wrong? A 30-minute film thats not only fun to watch, but informative and puts to rest some of the most important myths about protein. www.ravediet.com/protein.html A short documentary about rising food prices and an impending food crisis in the UK. In London, obesity and food poverty rates are skyrocketing, and healthy food has become the privilege of the wealthy. But London is also the city where community organisations are shaping alternatives. Best Before follows the people taking back control of food production in the UK and providing an alternative for a more sustainable, ecological and socially just food system. http://bestbeforedocumentary.com

Plant-based nutrition vs Animalbased nutrition

What we can do to End World Hunger

This video shows that, by eating a varied diet containing plenty of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains, it is easy to get all the nutrients we require without meat, dairy, fish and eggs. with the added bonus that plant-based foods contain neither saturated animal fat, cholesterol nor the acidifying effects of animal-derived foods. http://evolvecampaigns.org.uk/evolve/videos.aspx

The Meatrix

This 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. http://evolvecampaigns.org.uk/evolve/videos.aspx

A Life Connected: Vegan

In this dark satire of The Matrix, Leo, a pig on a seemingly bucolic family farm, is approached by Moopheus, an anthropomorphic bull. Moopheus shows Leo that the farm he has known is an illusion, and that he is really trapped in a horrific factory farm. Leo and Moopheus then work to break out of the Meatrix and help others do the same, with some help from a third character, Chickity. www.themeatrix.com A short, uplifting video about the positive power of making conscious consumer choices that are consistent with our shared values of kindness, justice, and compassion for other people, for the planet, and for animals. www.veganvideo.org

The True Cost of Food

A 15-minute educational and entertaining video about sustainable food. This video is produced by the Sierra Club Sustainable Consumption Committee as part of a campaign to encourage people to think about the environmental impacts of their consumption choices. www.sierraclub.org/truecostoffood www.vegfest.co.uk

Currently featured in Sainsburys marketing material, Tony and his wife Yvonne, a Harley Street nutritionist and regular TV guest and panellist, may not quite be the Posh and Becks of the veggie world, but they are not far off. Tony also runs his own PR Company Pea-PR. Top Team. www.foodsforlife.co.uk www.pea-pr.com.uk www.optimumnutritionists.com
