The Veggie Vision Blog

WE WON!! 

We had a great time at the Animal Aid Christmas Without Cruelty event and we were amazed to win an super award from The Supreme Master and Supreme Master Television.

The reason Karin went veggie initially was after reading a book from The Supreme Master and 15 or so years later they have become good friends with the UK team who love Karin’s PR work as well as VeggieVision.

The awards has been given previously to Bill Gates and select presidents worldwide – and Karin!!

Check out some pics on our FaceBook

How proud are we!!

I find it fascinating trawling through the web and coming across random posts about Veggie Vision, we have people on twitter talking about us, and this lovely blog post by Laura Malesich via  HippyShopper.

Its nice to know that people are using the site, the plan is to upload the tons of clips waiting to be encoded, and drive a whole load of fresh new content out.

Wow - this is such an interesting conversation:

http://www.animalperson.net/animal_person/2008/10/on-veggie-vision-and-discrimination.html

It would be wonderful if the bloggers and social media users out there could spread the word and send in your comments/suggestions so that we can make the site useful to veggies and non-veggies alike.

Ok, its official ... new look is LIVE ...

I know, its taken forever ... enjoy .. i came across this interesting blog post about us

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2008/oct/23/foodanddrink-television

(we WILL definitely be bringing varied content to the site)

I don't know where time files .. its nearly the end of Vegan Month !

Its been very busy for me in general, lots of new projects cropping up, there has been some very exciting things going on behind the scenes here at Veggie Vision, which I hope I can share very soon.

We are members of Ethical Junction, and I think we are getting a mention in one of their mailouts very soon, which is great in itself.

Are there any kinds of video clips you think are missing at the moment, or certain types of content you feel could be included ? Drop us a line or leave a comment.

Also there are only a few more days left to enter the Tibits competition .. If you fancy a meal for two at this lovely veggie restaurant in London, you better get your skates on !

enter competition

Karin will probably leave a message soon about the upcoming Christmas Without Cruelty Fair, this Sunday.

OK, back to work !

Hiya 

How are you!? 

Its been far toooo long and I am sorry – As always so much on the go as we are working flat out to bring you much much more. 

Well we had a fab time the other Saturday at The Festival of Life – Well done to Chris and his dynamic team of helpers. 

Super Anthony filmed again with us and gorgeous Ania got stuck in and worked the VeggieVision stand like magic. 

Lots of love n thanks to our incredible VeggieVision presenters – who you will get to see soon...... 

Laura, Kasha, Karen and Kamuran. 

Laura spends her time being a magazine editor as does Kasha. Karen is an actress – who also plays 3 musical instruments – and our lovely Kamuran is a model and dancer. 

And all are lovely veggie girls too. 

Please check out the new comp – always cool to win and winning vegan chocolate is the ultimate. Huge thanks to Mood Foods ) 

Glad that so many people loved the new clip from Paris too– How wonderful to hear a VeggieVision presenter welcome us with a "Bonjour" and "Welcome to VeggieVision" with a French accent!! We have even received messages from people who were at the event and said that they loved the clip – which of course makes our day.

More news coming asap! 

Vegan wishes, Karin n the VV Team xxx

Hey everybody,

Karin, asked me last week if I'd post something up on the blog, and of course I said I would. In fact i've been wanting to post a story of some sort up here for a long time.

I'm Ket, and I work on the tech and website for veggie vision. There are tons of things going on behind the scenes including Karin working like mad to keep bringing great competitions to everyone and organising new clips to watch.

There are some exiting things on the horizon for Veggie Vision. There have been many planned upgrades/changes and jobs that have nearly happenned over the last few years. This has helped us grow and bring all the experiences together to do something really cool, with VV. Stay tuned.

I've been in the garden with my partner digging up potatoes today. We have a small Vegan Organic Garden patch and its so cool to be able to "grow your own".

We have an abundance of Rocket growing, but we wish the Potatoes, Garlic and Beans produced more. Oh, we have tomaotes on their way and a mango stone has started to grow into a tree !! Although I think it'll be near impossible for us to grow it in this part of the world (anyone with a huge greenhouse ?).

SO enjoy the rest of the weekend, Please check out the new and excellent, Veggie Pride clip on Veggie Vision (look in the Roving Reports Channel) , and take part in the current competition if you haven't already.

Hi!

I wanted to drop you a line as I am doing my radio show again and am pre recording a show this Thursday from 7 – 9 pm – they are usually live.

I am dedicating this show to bringing up your kids as vegan / veggie and would love as many veggies to be in touch over the phone or by email

If you know of anyone bringing up their kids as vegan/veggie, vegan/veggie kids or pregnant vegans it would be great to hear from them too as I want the show to be jammed packed with how others have done this successfully

Pls pass this on and email me ASAP!

Thanks and hope to hear back soon

Wow – what a show – We are still recovering and the Bristol Vegan Fayre was now last weekend!

Please do drop us a line if you took any film clips as we would love to see them.  

We had a super time, how wonderful to see so many likeminded people- and it was great that so many viewers came up and said hi as well. 

We welcome all of the new people that signed up or took flyers away – thanks so much for your support – there is much more coming soon to VeggieVision. 

We had an amazing team of presenters and film crew who worked flat out as well as a super bunch of helpers that worked on the stall. We prepared about 150 goody bags for all the stall holders as well and that took a lot of time as we had so much to give away! 

Can you believe that we were in a vegan fayre and I wasn’t able to eat! I was tooo excited! I did fall in love though – did you have those amazing vegan cream eggs – I bought several bulk orders. And those vegan trifles )  Yum! 

If we filmed with you we will let you know as soon as possible about the content – it is for the new look so please bear with us.

We had such a great time and look forward to being at many more events this year. If you would like to get involved please let us know! 

Thanks again to all of the super VeggieVision team and for your positive feedback – It really inspired us to move forward.

Have a great day and spk soon

Karin and the VeggieVision team. Xxx
