A British animal farmer with a wildlife-friendly farm recently realised just how dependent modern farming is on fossil fuels. She set off to look at the problem and possible solutions, and came up with some surprising information and conclusions. The BBC followed her during her research and produced an eye-opening documentary, ‘A Farm For The Future’, for their ‘Natural World’ series.
The politics of food is something that will become increasingly important over the coming years. Vegans and bonecrunchers alike should watch this, learn and act. Time really is running out.
Available to view or download on BBC iPlayer for the next 20 days.
*Many years back, some US punks put together a vegan cookbook called ‘Soy Not Oi!’, full of fuckin’ great recipes and recommended listening to cook along to. There are also amusing anecdotes, great grapics and some slightly more serious stuff about veganism. You can get the book from Active Distro or AK Press for a few quid / greenbacks, which I suggest you do as soon as you’ve found enough spare change down the back of the sofa.

Too bad that only people from the UK can watch this. It has some restriction. Maybe it’ll pop up somewhere else.
If anyone else has a problem viewing this, let me know 😉
Anyone who also likes a bit of extreme metal with their soya may be interested in this cook book:

Hey Mykill
Thanks for the comments and the heads-up on this. I’ve not come across it before, and it looks great!
I checked out Microcosm Publishing and also found a book called ‘Hot Damn And Hell Yeah! / The Dirty South Cookbook’, a two-books-in-one collection of right-on redneck vegan recipes. It sounds like the perfect accompaniment to ‘Please Don’t Feed The Bears’. So good that I’ve ordered 5 copies of each. If I’ve got any spare, I’ll stick ’em up for sale on here.
Seems that there’s new version of Hot Damn and Hell Yeah than the one that I have. Mine was not with the dirty south cookbook, but only recipes for hungry banditos. Had to buy it after the BBQ with bourbon whiskey BBQ sauce. My advice is do not miss on that one. Cheers
*I* have a problem watching this… Old Punk, can you somehow help?
Did you get the email I sent you mate?
