Veganism has never been talked about more.
Flaxseed eggs, sources of protein and cruelty-free makeup – veganism even made its way onto Newsnight last week.
But what people tend to forget is, that behind all of this talk the movement is about animal rights.
Go Vegan World, Europe’s largest public awareness campaign around animal rights issues, is beginning to seep into… Read the full story
Conversationally, having a dead parent is uncomfortable; the concern in the face of the person you’re telling, the strain in their eyes, the uncomfortable polite apology.
When you struggle with anxiety and panic attacks, even the smallest effort to provide comfort can make a huge difference.

This New York Fashion Week the Council of Fashion Designers… Read the full story

It is very common for the diagnosis to take a few (sometimes many) years as the symptoms can be vague and similar to other conditions.

And of course, there’s the alcohol struggle. Why, oh why, must so much alcohol contain gluten?
