Hello, am steveo from scotland.
Just decided to go vegan, so going to get first food shop and get rid of the junk. Not sure of all drinks and foods that are vegan but will be good finding out.
Into sports - soccer, golf, badminton - and also training at local gym.

Welcome steveo!

I hope you get some good info and fun here, the board is a wealth of good advice and support for new vegans, so feel free to ask stuff!

going to get first food shop

Hey man, welcome to VF

Good luck with that - might be worth heading to your local coop for the first food shop. They label all their own-brand stuff as vegan so takes all the thinking out of it.

I dont think they label whether something is junk or not though

Only the big Co-ops are any good - my local one has virtually no vegan own-brand products (certainly no dairy-free margarine), and charges £1.50 for the most basic brand of soya milk

Hey, Steveo!

Congratulations on the transition - it's a great move. Welcome to the family.
Happy shopping. It gets easier and easier, I promise.

I look forward to your posts on the boards.

solid decision mate, welcome to the forum!

If any problems, feel free to ask, folks here can be pretty helpful and (shock and horror) knowledgeable. Thats what the new vegan section is for.

Do you train at the Infamous Templehall Gym? Great strong guys coming from there, and a decent rower.

Thanks everyone.

First shop was okay, quite a lot of foods seem to be fine but only say vegetarian on them.
