This week I comment on a breaking story by Greenpeace NZ which has everyone up in arms about how the dairy farmers are importing palm kernels to NZ by the millions of tonnes in order to supplement the feed of the dairy cows.
Thing is, nobody is vegan, so they all eat dairy products. Ummmmm?
These are the articles by the NZ Herald about the story:
Greenpeace Moves Palm Kernel Protest to Port
Greenpeace Defiant over Palm Oil Protest
Here is a link to my Indymedia NZ article (PLEASE feel free to comment! Help! :-)
Why are we blaming the farmers?
This is a link to the BRAND NEW AUCKLAND VEGAN RESTAURANT! YAY!

This are to Adam Kochanowicz's fantastic resource on Vegan FM:
Vegan FM/Is it Vegan?
Golden Age on Vegan FM listing
you can also see things like ingredients listings , animal testers, alcohols that are vegan etc.
This is a link to Vegan Help on Twitter - if you are on Twitter, join in! It is helping people go vegan!

Good point about the (dairy eating) Greenpeace protesters - I never realized so much palm oil went into "feed"... along with the "fishes" - and poultry waste... (ick)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that booth of yours sounds awesome! And you seem very happy. :) Hope you make lots of friends - and successfully direct them all to veganism. Stay wonderful!
