Karen Morgan and Matthew Cole are Vegan Society trustees and were interviewed during the Bristol Vegan Fayre 2009.
To be trustee requires skill and ability to be effective, trustees are ultimately responsible for the charity, fot the research an many other important tasks of the Vegan Society.
“…we work on the improuving the provison of vegan food for instance in care homes or hospitals, we try to encourage to provide vegan food in the schools…we made a website called wegatopia one of the things we are trying to do is create links trough the countries, create links between academia and activism. We are both sociologists in academia, utopian studies in Bristol University. We’ve written a few papers discussing the idea about why veganism is a utopia movement. We are talking about transforming the society in a radical way. Veganism is a practical solution for a lot of issues in the world. The biggest obstacle is people saying we are not realistic, the implication of that would seem to be just do nothing, give up. That’s not an option for us. The debates of climate change, of food security, ongoing malnutrition despite that enough food is produced to feed anybody in the world but it’s not getting to the right people…
There are many many opportunity where veganism is a real sensible, practical solution, we need a political will to make it happen, we need also academic like us doing research, making contribution to the vegan movement, giving some good evidence for what we are arguing”.

Never had Jam Thumbprint Cookies growing up, but since becoming a vegan baker, I see Jam cookies everywhere. They are some of the cutest little cookies I ever seen and I believe they can easily be made vegan.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegan butter
3/4 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup apple sauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried coconut flakes
1/2 cup strawberry jam
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or cover it with parchment paper.
Using an electric hand mixer, cream together vegan butter and raw sugar. Once combine, mix in applesauce and vanilla extract.
To a separate bowl, sift together all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Then stir in dried coconut flakes.
Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until combined, then add the rest of the flour mix and stir until uniform cookie dough forms.
Roll the cookie dough into balls about an 1 1/2 inch wide or use a cookie scooper and place cookie dough ball on prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb to create a well in each dough ball. This should slightly flatten it and prepare a place for the jam.
Put a small amount of jam into each well, no more than a teaspoon.
Bake cookies for 10 minutes. When they are done baking, they should be puffed and slightly browned.
Allow to cool of a cooling rack, serve, and enjoy.

Being a vegetarian will not reduce your ability to add muscle, I’m one and it hasn’t hurt me. Those who think vegetarians cant be successful bodybuilders either don’t understand the different kinds of vegetarians or don’t understand bodybuilding nutrition. Arnold fostered the incorrect view that you have to eat muscle to gain muscle. The trouble with the word “vegetarian” is that so many people have used it in so many different ways that it has basically become useless so it has been replaced by more specific and meaningful words.
The useless word “vegetarian” has been replaced by the following two more specific and useful words:
Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian: A vegetarian whose diet includes dairy products, eggs, vegetables, fruits, grains, and nuts
Vegan: A strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products
When people today say “Vegetarian” what they are really talking about is a lacto-ovo vegetarian. In other words, a diet that does not include the parts of an animal that were not given up freely. Animals happily give up their eggs and milk so vegetarians can eat those. One reason people mistakenly believe that vegetarians cant be bodybuilders is that they mistake vegans for vegetarians. The ability to consume eggs and dairy products makes an incredible difference. Vegans (those who consume no animal products whatsoever) are at a big disadvantage when it comes to adding muscle but vegetarians are not hindered at all — lets look at why this is true.
Many bodybuilders rely on skinless chicken breast for their protein and that has a quality of 136. You will note that both nonfat milk and egg whites have a higher protein quality than chicken does! Since vegetarians can eat milk and eggs, the quality of the protein they can consume is just as good as better as most meat eating bodybuilders! Vegetarians are at no disadvantage at all when it comes to adding muscle.
Now lets look at the problem that vegans face. The highest quality protein available to them is soy and it only has a quality of 117, nowhere near as good as chicken or eggs. They need to be experts on the amino acid profiles of everything they eat so they can combine food through out the day to get the all the essential amino acids they need. The second major obstacle vegans face is in getting enough protein without exceeding their daily caloric budget. All the proteins available to vegans also come with a healthy dose of carbohydrates so vegans need to be very, very strict about their nutrition in order to get sufficient protein with the amount of calories they have available.
By the way folks, I’m not a vegetarian for political, religious, or ethical reasons. I’m a vegetarian because I belive it to be healthier. Can I *prove* that a vegetarian diet is healther? No, but I can’t prove global warming either. Everyone has to decide for themselves what level of proof is required before they change their behaviour.
