WHAT IS 28 DAYS VEGAN?
28 Days Vegan is a self-taught Vegan introduction program created for WILD
FIRE Magazine. WILD FIRE is asking vegetarians and meat-eaters to live vegan
for 28 days, watch 4 documentaries and inform themselves about Veganism.
Participants are asked to answer a few questions each week, their answers are
likely to be summarized and featured in WILD FIRE magazine to help others start
living vegan.
Participants are not just asked to eat vegan they are asked to live vegan too.
Living vegan means not eating animal products these include but are not limited
to; dairy products, cheese, milk, butter, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, seafood,
beeswax, honey, or other animal derived products, not using animal tested or
animal derived products including cosmetics, household products etc, not
wearing silk, fur, leather, wool, feathers, pearl, bone or other animal materials,
and not visiting or participating in animal circuses, aquariums, rodeos, animal
racing, or other animal exploiting activities.
WILD FIRE also recommends that participants buy fair-trade and organic where
possible.

FAQ
Q: Do I have to watch all four documentaries?
A: Yes please do. It is important to sit down and watch these documentaries from
start to finish. Some parts of these documentaries are confronting and do contain
graphic scenes but please do not let this stop you from watching them. You can
watch them in any order during any stage of 28 Days Vegan but it is
recommended that you watch one per week. Please be sure to fill in the question
sheet after each documentary. Some of these documentaries can be viewed
legally online, you may also find them at your local library or video store, if you
can not find all four please contact us and we will arrange something for you.
Q: I just found out something I ate wasn’t vegan. What should I do?
A: Write about it in this weeks ‘Slip-Up’ section. It is there for accidental moments
like these.
Q: Can I eat fish?
A: No, fish are animals too. Other “foods” vegans do not eat are meat, eggs,
dairy, gelatine, honey and other animal derived foods and drink. Many vegans
also avoid non-sustainably harvested palm oil.

FAQ
Q: So what can I eat?
A: fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, wholegrains, grains, legumes, and other food
made from these such as, non-dairy milk, tofu, vegan cookies, vegan cakes…
you can make vegan soup, vegan stir-fry, vegan pancakes, vegan burgers,
vegan everything!!! Basically there is a vegan alternative to all non-vegan food
even cheese! And yes there is such thing as vegan chocolate! Just make sure it
is Fair-Trade! Check out the resource pages, and visit the listed websites for
more helpful information about tasty nutritional vegan food.

HELPFUL TIPS
- Visit the websites listed on the website resource page you will be sure to find
heaps of helpful information about living vegan.
- Check out your local vegan/vegetarian society which is probably listed on the
previous page. They contain lots of vegan information specific to your area.
- Do not feel disadvantaged if you do not have internet access, your local library
is likely to have books about veganism, and some local vegetarian hot-spots may
have notice boards about vegan events and meet-up.
- Being vegan is always easier when you have support. Get a friend to do 28
Days Vegan with you and/or attend vegan meet-ups to make new vegan friends.
- You can find lots of vegan products in the Health Food aisle of supermarkets.
- For Australians: Aldi supermarket labels its vegan food as vegan (although be
wary of honey as Aldi considers it vegan.)
- Check packaged food labels for these sneaky non-vegan ingredients:
120 – Cochineal
441 – Gelatine
469 – Sodium Caseinate
542 – Bone Phosphate
901 – Beeswax
904 – Shellac
