What better way to start the year than with something sweet?  Food that symbolises the new year just got a lift with this easy to make all day breakfast.  You can eat this at any time of the day, and it will be both stratifying and filling, and it is 100% vegan.  The fruit symbolises the hope for a fruitful year ahead while the pomegranate represents the many bless we hope to receive. Completely delicious and symbolic making it idea for New Year.

Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
