This led to a conscious awareness of every sentient being around me as connected. As a result of my abusive and toxic upbringing, I became incredibly sensitive to the issues of suffering to animals caused by the corrupt and money driven food producers. Change has to start with yourself which in turn becomes an example to others. These changes helped me to naturally transition from vegetarian to vegan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ron:\u00a0<em>I was aware from my teens that eating meat didn\u2019t accord with my spiritual journey and studies, so I gradually ate less and less meat until I became vegetarian in my 30\u2019s. When I met Jacqui 12 years ago, my eyes were opened to the more healthy aspects of plant based eating, which may sound odd as many people think that to cut out meat is automatically healthy! Sadly I have found there are many very unhealthy vegetarians and vegans, something that is important to us in the magazine.\u00a0 We both transitioned from vegetarian to vegan two years ago.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ron.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-9291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ron-171x300.jpg\" alt=\"fresh vegan magazine\" width=\"150\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ron-171x300.jpg 171w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ron.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>My reasons are a mix of first, the stupidity of eating other aware species that we share the planet with, it just seems totally uncivilized and arrogant to use animals in this way.

I had worked as a graphic<\/em><em>\u00a0designer and worked\u00a0 on the layout of two children\u2019s books, so had some experience in\u00a0<\/em><em>publishing. I designed the first website and then it was over to Jacqui as the expert in\u00a0<\/em><em>the field of vegan nutrition.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jacqui:\u00a0<em>For the past 5 years I have searched and researched about health and nutrition and the part that food plays in healing the body, mind, spirit and our environment. I investigated Ayurveda, raw food, raw vegan food and macrobiotics, as all of these systems are healing modalities that worked alongside my work as a healer. I found that each group saw themselves as separate rather than a collective power for health and good, and as a result, although they all were speaking a different \u201clanguage\u201d, they were in fact all saying the same thing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The magazine grew out of a passion and desire to bring together all of these strands of healing through food, and particularly vegan food. The name Fresh Vegan was created to get across the message that we needed a fresh inclusive approach of encouragement, rather than a soapbox preaching approach that at times just separates us. The magazine is for everyone who is interested in a fresh look at food, both for pleasure, compassion, and as a healing tool for ourselves, the creatures we live with, and our planet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Vicki:\u00a0<strong><em>What are your goals and hopes for the magazine? \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Issue2.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Issue2.jpg\" alt=\"Issue2\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jacqui:\u00a0<em>Wow, that is a very interesting question Vicki! \u00a0At the risk of sounding \u201cNew Age\u201d, the way that the magazine gets put together comes from both my years in the professional food and catering industry, and years as a healer and teacher. Currently I am finding that I am being guided with a strong sense of whom and what should be in the magazine, and my vision has changed and evolved in the last 6 months. I am very heartened by the fact we have brought some new \u201cmovers and shakers\u201d in the vegan world to a bigger audience, and that other magazines are now approaching some of them for their magazines. So my goal is to continue to find new chefs, cafes, restaurants, and food producers from all over the world, who share our vision of a more compassionate and caring society, and for the magazine to allow us to travel and meet and speak with these people personally.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Vicki:\u00a0<strong><em>What\u2019s been the biggest challenge since launching the magazine?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>Ron<em>: I think most people will be amazed when we say that a lack of support from the vegan<\/em><em>\u00a0community was initially our biggest challenge. <\/em><em>It seems that because we didn\u2019t centre<\/em><em><em>\u00a0on the <\/em>the issues of animal exploitation, suffering, and being treated as a product, we were <\/em><em>not being seen as serious! For me the idea that something we all share, carnivores,\u00a0<\/em><em>vegetarians and vegans alike \u2013 eating, can change the world one meal at a time is the\u00a0<\/em><em>power of Fresh Vegan Magazine. I hate being lectured at by someone who is trying to bully me into a particular viewpoint, so we don\u2019t want to do that in the magazine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jacqui:\u00a0<em>This is a passion and a love affair, and it is only challenging in the same way that any<\/em><em>\u00a0worthwhile relationship is challenging.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Vicki:\u00a0<strong><em>I read in a couple issues of Fresh Vegan, that people in the UK think that the United <\/em><em>\u00a0States is ahead in veganism. I always thought it was the other way around! Where do\u00a0<\/em><em>you see veganism going in the UK, in the near future?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jacqui:\u00a0<em>Another interesting question Vicki. I think culturally that the world sees veganism as starting in the UK with the original Vegan Society. However, we are a small country and therefore in sheer numbers of people who are vegan, we are small and therefore any vegan business, caf\u00e9 or restaurant often finds it difficult to survive. An example of this is \u201cSAF\u201d, one of the biggest vegan restaurants in the UK that has sadly had to close its doors after many years and despite a growing interest in vegan food.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What we are seeing in the UK is a huge increase in vegan festivals outside of London and an interest in places that would have been considered more traditional in terms of food. So yes there is an increase, but we have a long way to go. Compared to the US, we don\u2019t have the writers, publishers or vegan TV shows that you seem to have a wealth of, which creates the idea that you are ahead of us.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/issue1.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/issue1.jpg\" alt=\"fresh vegan magazine\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Vicki:\u00a0<strong><em>How can someone subscribe to your magazine, and how much does it cost (in U.S. <\/em><em>\u00a0dollars)?<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ron:\u00a0<em>We are often asked, \u201cwhere can I buy it\u201d, our answer is everywhere!
