La Vie vegan bacon and ham (from France?!)

England has millions of people, and even if you eat meat, there is not enough land for everyone to eat free-range. So it pays to switch to avoid factory-farming and cholesterol. SO you can enjoy a BLT every day!

Avoid sausages for young children and choking hazards (for older children, slice lengthwise and lengthwise again into strips). Recycle packaging at supermarket bag bins, if your kerbside doesn’t recycle.

Don’t give leftovers to pets, garden birds or wildfowl (due to onion, garlic, salt).

World Health Organisation classifies all processed meats as Group 1 Carcinogens (bacon is linked to increased risk of colorectal cancer).

The tastes of vegan bacon and ham does not come from the meat, but from the flavours (hickory, smoked applewood etc). So these taste just the same, and the bacon is just fried for a few minutes.

La Vie Vegan foods is a fantastic brand of vegan bacon, ham, lardons and deli meats from France. In fact, it’s so popular that their items are sold worldwide every second, and some French farmers have tried to ban their sale!

The ham is dyed with radish extract!
