Can we have a vegan topic please? Or at the very least a 'Ethical aspects of diet' topic or some such.

Hi MN

As you'll no doubt have seen from the Simon Amstell thread, there are a lot of people on here who are interested in veganism. Therefore, please can we have our very own section/sub-section in Feed the World?

I would say it could just go under Food/recipes but discussions about veganism tend to range freely from the ethics of animal rearing to global food production to climate change, so it might not quite fit under recipes!

Maybe it could be broadened up to 'Ethical aspects of diet' or 'Diet and all it entails' or something, IDK.

Anyway, thanks

I would love to see this topic, it is an important thing to discuss in my opinion

Hi Again Everyone, we're hoping to have an answer on this one soon, will come back to you as fast as we can.

The answer is....... .......YES.
A new Vegan topic has been agreed at MNHQ.

Only 1 condition....that it gets a decent amount of traffic in the first couple of months. Doesn't seem like that will be an issue looking at this thread!

It will take a bit of time to get it up and running as we have to crunch some numbers to figure out what topics we need to lose to make room for it, so bear with us but it will happen.

Thank you MN!!!

Off to spread the good news

Hang on a minute?! Do we already have a vegetarian topic that I have missed?

Thank you so much!

Brilliant news thanks

Hi everyone,

We're pleased to say the Vegan topic is now up and running. It will need to to have frequent visits to remain, so we'll take a look in three months or so and see if there's been enough traffic to keep it going. We hope it goes really well.

Thank you MNHQ

Woohoo!

Sorry, I'm fairly new to mumsnet but what does a new topic mean? And how can we make sure we keep this 'alive'?

A new topic just means a new place to post.
So we have vegan now, instead of putting our messages on 'chat' or another topic.
Keeping it alive just means people posting on in regularly

Thank you whatslovegottodo!

We have now got a vegan topic!

Oops, ignore me. A little late to the party...

thanks Lorna!

The new vegan topic is great for recipe inspiration but I'm curious why there's a vegan topic but not vegetarian topic?

I'm neither vegetarian nor vegan but trying to eat less meat so the recipe threads are great for inspiration
