The sun has got his hat on hip hip Hippeas hooray! Sunny weather calls for sunny snacks and we are so happy to have included a tasty sample pack of Hippeas' chickpea puffs in this month's subscription boxes.
Hippeas is such a great fun brand (give peas a chance- loving that!) that is really well aligned with our mindset and ethos. We love the fact that they want to taste good and do good.
We will be celebrating Father’s Day later this month and it got me thinking about how men feel about veganism. I think there is a general preconception and very much outdated concept of meat being linked with masculinity. Meat eating it would seem is still seen very much as a part of a man’s identity. The Vegan Society's survey on this made interesting reading with 63 percent of people who identified as vegan being female, while only 37 percent were male. And this year for Veganuary just 14% of men took up the challenge, this was, however, a 4% rise on the previous year, so not all doom and gloom.
