The Cornish Snacktivist


I became vegan three years ago because of my concern for animal welfare. Now that scientists are telling us we must eat more plant-based foods if we are to have a hope of tackling climate change and species decline, I am doubly passionate about veganism. Not one for telling others what they must do, or standing at a protest with a placard, I’ve decided to spread the word about great plant-based food by hosting free sampling events - snacktivism rather than activism! 

 

In September 2022 my husband Dave and I hosted five consecutive evenings of free samples of home-cooked vegan food in the Mills Hall car park in Carharrack to highlight the damage that intensive animal agriculture is causing to our planet’s biodiversity. As part of Viva!’s ‘Swaps to Save Wildlife Week’, we offered plant-based pizzas, burgers, cakes, desserts and curries to show how people can swap their favourite foods for low-impact alternatives which taste just as good, if not even better. The response from the community was wonderful and we felt encouraged to continue hosting similar events.


If you want to find out when I’m next holding a free sampling event, please like my new Facebook page, The Cornish Snacktivist. I have started making cakes to order and every penny I make is donated to my favourite animal protection organisation, Animal Equality UK. My hope is to convince as many people as possible that vegan food is delicious and exciting as well as being compassionate and sustainable.
