There are many factors involved but when you are feeling low or irritable, or your memory isn’t what it should be, do you ever question the role of your diet?
Find out why what we eat can cause anxiety, irritability and depression. And the good news! How a vegan diet helps you beat the blues!

National Badger Cull Protest
The ICC, Broad Street, Birmingham, B1 2HG
Held by Animal Rights UK. www.facebook.com/AnimalRightsUK)
The 21st of February will host the National Farmers Union Conference this is a collection of individuals and corporations most responsible for pushing the Proposed badger Cull Through Parliament.
The National Farmers Union is a lobbyist group for large agricultural corporations with aims that benefit them, rather than that of animal welfare and independent farmers. they have strong political ties (Caroline Spelman used to work for them) and are the NO1 Driving force behind the badger cull.
During their fringe event at the conservative party conference, they were boasting on how they will be getting the badger cull approved.
The opening session at the upcoming conference (with Caroline Spelman as the guest speaker) is called 'The Political Challenge' and will in most part be a discussion about the badger cull.
We urge as many animal lovers to join us outside the icc for a huge protest to show Caroline Spelman and the NFU that we will not allow the badger cull!
