		Compassion in World Farming place their emphasis on the plight of farm animals. They wish to see an end to factory farming and hope to achieve this through methods, particularly political lobbying. They also have an 'Eat Less Meat Campaign', that promotes a decrease in meat consumption for those who do not feel they can become entirely vegetarian. Vegetarian Resource Group Good information on nutrition and many web links. Particularly good at explaining the meat foods, such as gelatine. International Vegetarian Union Website full of facts and figures with much of the literature being available in various European languages. Also has useful European phrases for those considering travelling abroad. Vegetarian Shoes Excellent website for ordering shoes and other typically leather goods, such as belts, but for vegetarians. Wide ranging and stylish non-leather shoes Vegan Store An exhaustive site that aims to make being vegan easier for you. You can buy online almost anything you will need as a vegan - accessories, shoes, fake leather, household products, food, cosmetics and everything in between. Much of the food is also organic and products are manufactured in EC and USA to ensure humane and ethical work policies. Even their packaging tries to be recycled. It is hard to find any faults! Veggie Pets The VeggiePets website is great for anyone who has vegetarian pets or thinking about feeding them a veggie diet. You can order specialist pet food from this site. VegWeb Lots and lots of vegetarian recipes to suit every occasion. You can even find yourself a partner in the personal section! Vegan.com Website that is good for vegetarian and vegan related news. Vegan Action Excellent website for resources and information on campaigns. Explains why people are going vegan and advises on how to go about becoming a vegan. Young Indian Vegetarians The Young Indian Vegetarians' website has online versions of their annual newsletter, which is always full of interesting information. Despite the title, you don't have to be young or an Indian, or indeed even a vegetarian to join and find out more about vegetarianism. Our former President, Jyoti, is an active member (OK, her Dad is the President). Happy Cow The Happy Cow website is great site for anyone travelling. It lists veggie restaurants all round the world and is very reliable and informative with necessary details about the restaurants. Tried and tested to be excellent! VegFam Vegfam is a vegan charity which provides relief to victims of drought, flood, war and other emergencies. Vegfam promotes the advantages of a vegan diet and lifestyle for feeding the world in an environmentally friendly way. This basic website describes in detail their belief that the vegan diet is the best to feed a drastically increasing population. A great charity to donate to, particularly in the event of a world disaster. Dr. Hadwen Trust The Dr. Hadwen Trust promotes and funds research into alternatives to animal testing. The site is easy to read with information provided both briefly and in-depth, depending on what you are after. Not just purely emotive, there is a scientific basis to their goals and the way they are presented on the website. British Union For The Abolition of Vivisection The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection are dedicated to just that. They have factsheets that explain this often confusing matter. Under the Resources section you will find much useful information on the science and legal issues concerning animal testing. Most usefully, they also have information on which companies and products (both cosmetic and household) are guilty of unnecessary vivisection, thus giving us the option to be informed consumers. Europeans For Medical Progress This group is fascinating. They are absolutely against animal testing, but not so much on ethical grounds, but purely scientific grounds. This group work a lot with the government and politics. Their information and statistics are great and have the capability of convincing scientific minded people. It is refreshing to read their reasons for being anti-vivisection, as they reach out even to non vegetarians and those not concerned with animal rights or other ethical concerns. Food Dictionary A very comprehensive list of foods and ingredients. Highly recommended for those of you cooking without Mum's help for the first time!
