Market without the Flea's

Hi all

I'm SOOOO sorry...ok so let me let you in on the M.I.A on spread the word.

Firstly i went home to take that picture that i wanted to do with the elephant pages for the circus issue on PETA. Remember that? Check my last post if you don't.
So low and behold my camera has gone missing, i searched the whole place and no camera was found :(
It's my special diamante one. Damn i hate it when that happens, but i still have hope that somehow it will find it's way home. So the circus picture has been put on hold until i find my camera.Although it doesn't mean that i still wont be protesting against it!

Ok so whats the vegan update this week? Let me give you the info...

I went shopping to fill up my grocery cupboards this weekend, and i decided that organic is the only way to go, but the only problem is that it is so expensive, and for people of my age cash is minimal, but i was still determind to get organic...Why organic...well let me give you the down low...normal carrots have pesticides on them to get rid of the bugs and it not only protects the carrot but it also seaps into the soil which the carrot sucks up and the fact is ...PESTICIDES ARE IN THE CARROTS AND OTHER VEGATABLES WE EAT!!! YUK!...so i decided i don't want some funky stuff in my body and that i don't want to support people that don't give us natural, healthy stuff!

I mean look at the naartjies that we get...they are so sweet and the skin around them are sometimes really hard to peel off, also that white stuff thats on the naartjie is also hard plus they all look perfect, oh and big ups for the seedless ones too, but the real fact is that inorder to get them like that they have to genetically modify them, i just don't think that seedless naartjie are the way to go when my body is digesting modification!

I had no clue about the difference that i saw this weekend, it's freaking crazy.

So in my determined search i found stores that stock the goodies i need...i'm going to give them to you so you don't have to search your butt of like i had to ...

Now i went to them and they have Vegan bread, although i never tried it. I bought Ghee ( i think thats how you sell it ) butter...i haven't tried it as yet but it's in my fridge waiting for me. They also have frozen Veagn meals which is great for a quick take away. There's vitamins, sweets, beans, syrup and a whole lot of other stuff. I even bought Tofu from there, once again i still haven't tried it yet.

Ok so the best find of all is...dum dum dum.....

They are AWESOME...i bought raw organic chocolate truffles from them which haven't even been cooked!! Weird, they were a little expensive R56 but i thought i would spoil myself.They were really yummy.

You should see the fruit and vegetables, they are so fresah they even have sand on them! I bought spring onions, a big bunch of carrots ( which were very sweet ) and a cabbage plus a big bunch of sweet potatoes for R45 !!! and they are all organic...so woolworths really just rips you off.

I saw this place that sells home made pasta and for a big packet it's only R20...i asked if the lady did Vegan pasta and she said that she can make it...so i placed an order an i'm going to pick it up on this coming Saturday...Yay i hope it's nice!

Oh and my FAVOURITE eek....they have hemp shoes! For R180 you can get organic hemp shoes, cool huh, this lady imports them from France, they are pretty fashionable there in the countryside...they are so cute, and good for the enviroment...Yay to hemp shoes!

So these were the places i found, i hope it helps.

N.B. THE ORGANIC SHOW IS ON THIS SATURDAY IN THE COCA COLA DOME IN NORTHGATE, THE ENTRANCE IS R50 PER PERSON. THEY GOING TO HAVE ALOT OF VEGAN STUFF TOO PLUS THEY WILL HAVE THEM AT SHOW PRICES. SUPER SAVE, YAY!

Great News the Vegan Society contacted me as i have been looking for a copy of the documentory called behind the mask, apparentley it's about animal abuse - i'm really interested in seeing it so i'm glad that they got hold of me. Like i said i want to be informed so that i can inform.

Gotta dash...i might post you guys some info later, depends how busy i am.
