The document contains research from surveys about attitudes towards veganism. It includes summaries of responses to questions about why people are or aren't vegan, what they find appealing or unappealing about vegan diets, and how long people would be willing to try a vegan diet. The research findings suggest that animal welfare is important to vegans, while non-vegans cite food restrictions as a barrier, and that people are most interested in short-term vegan trials. Validation notes acknowledge the small sample size but see potential ways to apply the learnings to a Veganuary campaign.
The number of vegans in the UK has increased significantly over the past decade, rising from 150,000 in 2006 to over 542,000 currently, a 350% increase. This rapid growth in veganism is being driven by young people making more ethical and environmentally-conscious choices. Studies have found that nearly half of all vegans are aged 15-34, demonstrating that veganism will likely continue growing substantially in the future. Celebrities and social media are also contributing to veganism's increasing popularity as a lifestyle trend. Overall, the available research and data indicate that veganism has become one of the UK's fastest growing lifestyle movements in recent years.
Veganism involves avoiding all animal products in one's diet and lifestyle. The document discusses various aspects of veganism, including definitions, reasons for adopting a vegan diet, and controversies. Primary research through an online survey found most people understand veganism but have misconceptions about its health and nutritional implications. Secondary research uncovered vegan recipes, the growing food culture around veganism, and debates around veganism's environmental and ethical impacts.
The document summarizes research conducted by Amelia Browne on veganism. She created an online questionnaire to understand public perceptions of veganism. Over 90% of respondents were not vegan. The responses showed that concerns about health, not knowing what vegans can eat, and being unable to eat out deterred people from veganism. Secondary research examined definitions of veganism, whether a vegan diet provides balanced nutrition, and health benefits and concerns of veganism. The research aims to help promote Veganuary by addressing common questions and concerns.
This document summarizes the key findings from a survey about veganism. The survey found that most respondents knew a little about veganism and wanted to know more about the health, environmental, and animal welfare reasons for being vegan. Common barriers to adopting a vegan diet included not knowing alternative foods and finding it difficult to give up meat. Most respondents said social media and word of mouth were effective ways to learn about veganism and indicated they would try a vegan diet for one month. The survey results will help focus the content in an informational booklet about veganism to potentially increase interest in adopting a vegan lifestyle.

The document discusses findings from a 2014 report by Sullivan Higdon & Sink FoodThink on consumer attitudes toward healthy living. It finds that while commitment to healthy diets is declining, consumers face barriers like cost and convenience. Eating better motivations include overall well-being rather than just weight loss. Consumers differ in their philosophies toward wellness from strict dieting to moderate approaches. Freshness and natural claims are most important food attributes.
News Media's Role in Consumer Trust of Food ProductionSHS FoodThink
This document summarizes key findings from a report about the news media's role in consumer trust of food production. Some of the main points include:
- Consumers want the media to continue reporting on food production but are less likely to think the media sensationalizes stories.
- Local and national news stations are the preferred sources for information about food safety issues.
- While many stories are remembered, few actually change consumer perceptions of foods or brands.
- Certain recent stories like an ice cream recall were very memorable for consumers.
- Most consumers will purchase a food again a few months after a recall if the situation is effectively addressed.

Amanda Stirrat outlines strategies for engaging with schools and early years settings on health promotion initiatives. She recommends starting with an introductory letter and follow up meetings to understand each setting's priorities and barriers. From there, the health promotion officer should help the setting establish a working group to develop an action plan for their top priority. Ongoing support includes templates, resources, incentives, and celebrating successes to keep settings motivated in working through criteria over time. Key learnings are that settings are busy, so the approach needs to be simple and build on existing efforts, starting with easily achievable goals.

High Quality Learning Environment in the EYFSAnna Cylkowska
Early Years Foundation Stage is art of attracting children’s attention, through creating a stimulating and inspiring learning environment. The role of Early Years teachers is to provide children thought provoking, engaging and challenging activities; to support and extend their learning. As Froebel nicely said ‘play is the work of a child’; thus Early Years practitioners should thoroughly prepare activities to intrigue children to explore their surrounding environment. Play encourages hands on approach, enriches children’s firsthand experiences and expands their intellectual growth. Practitioners’ imagination and creativity in preparing indoor and outdoor provision support competent and confident learners. High quality learning environment contributes to child’s development and incorporates all six areas of learning, according to English Curriculum. Play based learning develops problem solving skills and supports children’s understanding of the world. Inspirational activities initiate interaction and become the best opportunity for language acquisition for those learners whose English is a second language.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Why vegans became vegans
• Summary: the person
who answered this
question said that
the reason they were
vegan is because of
care for animals.
4. What I can learn from this
• This answer gives me the knowledge that the
aspect of animal care is very important to
vegans and therefore I could use it as a central
theme during my project as this is what would
most likely draw the biggest audience.
However I will have to be careful as this
question was only answered by one person so
there was a small sample size.
5. Why are non vegans not vegan
• Summary: the vast
majority of people
that answered this
question said that
the reason they
didn’t go vegan was
due to restriction of
food
6. What I can learn from this
• With this knowledge that the main reason
people don’t go vegan is the restriction that it
causes them. This is useful as I could make
people aware of all of the vegan alternatives
that are available in my project and this may
change the minds of the largest number of
potential people.
7. What do people feel is the most
important aspect of being vegan
• Summary: From the
answers given I can
conclude that the
most popular aspect
of being vegan is the
positive impact it has
on animals.
8. What I can learn from this
• With this question I can use the information
that the most popular aspect of being vegan is
the impact on animals to try and attract more
people to the idea of being vegan. With it
being so popular I should really make it clear
how positively the animals are impacted in my
project and therefore a large number people
will be attracted to the idea of going vegan.
9. Where have people most commonly
heard about vegans
• Summary: From this
question I can learn
that the way that
most people found
out about vegans is
through the internet.
10. What I can learn from this
• With most people saying that they discovered
the movement online it means that the most
effective form of advertising of the movement
would be online as this is where most people
would tend to see it. This would mean that I
would be getting the message across to as
many people as I potentially could.
11. What is the most off putting thing
about being vegan
• Summary: the
majority of the
answers were to do
with the restriction
of foods like cheese
and meat
12. What I can learn from this
• From this information I can conclude that
advertising the alternatives to the foods that
people feel that they would miss out on would
be an effective way to draw people to try
becoming vegan as it would eliminate the fear
that they would not be able to enjoy their
favorite foods.
13. Would people be open to being vegan
for a shot period of time
• Summary: from the
answers given I can
conclude that the
vast majority of
people would be
open to being vegan
for a short time
14. What can I learn from this
• From this question I have learned that the
majority of people are open to being vegan if
it is only for a short while. This means that I
must emphasize the small amount of time
that veganuary takes place in and more
people may be open to it.
15. How long would people ideally want to
try vegan for.
• Summary: people
were most commonly
attracted to the idea
of being vegan for a
week rather than the
alternatives.
16. What I can learn from this
• I have learned that I may be able to attract
more people to become vegan if I give them
the option of only doing it for a week as this
idea seems to appeal to more people.
17. Validation of the research
• The respondents that I received for my
survey were all applicable for the
questions as they all fit within the target
audience and there was a mix of vegans
and non vegans to create a varied set of
opinions and mindsets. However the pool
of people that filled in the survey were
small so I was only able to get 10
respondents and if I was to redo this
primary research I would have an
increased number of respondents as I feel
the data would be more accurate if I let
more people answer so I could draw up
patterns that more reliably followed the
large target audience that I have for this
project.

vegans were the lowest of the four groups”
• “Evidence strongly indicates that high
cholesterol can increase the risk of narrowing
the arteries atherosclerosis, heart attacks and
stroke.” - NHS UK
• “differences in cholesterol to this degree
should lead to a significant reduction in the
risk of heart disease”
21. Validation of sources
• The source of this information is from the
official veganuary website which has been
assured to us as being accurate through
several checks to the information. For this
reason I am confident that the information is

with lower blood pressure. Such diets could be
a useful non-pharmacological means for
reducing blood pressure”- JAMA Int Med 2014
• “Most vegetarian diets are low or devoid of
animal products. They’re also usually lower
than non vegetarian diets in total fat,
saturated fat and cholesterol”- American
Heart Association
24. Validation of sources

official veganuary website which has been
assured to us as being accurate through

accurate at least from the date that it was first
published.

health
Summary: this is an article form the vegan
society talking about the health benefits of
being vegan as compared to having different
diets. It talks about several different factors of
health that being vegan affects such as BMI
and cholesterol.
Tags: Vegan, vegan society, health, diets, risk,
eating
Link: https://www.vegansociety.com/go-
vegan/health
26. Quotes
• “vegans are leaner, have lower BMIs and have
lower percentages of body fat”
• “vegans tend to eat seven or more pieces of
fruit or veg per day, meaning we have a 33%
reduced risk of premature death compared
with people who eat less than one portion”
27. Validation of sources
• The source of this article is the vegan society
website. They are a large organisation and
therefore will have a well funded research
department. This leads me to believe that the
information will be fairly accurate as they will
have the resources to find the information they
need. However this is a vegan website and tends
to use words like ‘we’ when describing vegans so
I cannot completely rule out any bias as this
website is clearly trying to convince people to
become vegan.
28. How does being vegan affect your
sporting capabilities
Summary: this article talks about how
you can still perform well as an athlete
without having a diet with meat and
dairy products in. it covers several
points about how you are able to do
this and provides links to other pages
on the site to reinforce its points.

cholesterol and saturated fat, you can count
on maintaining great cardiovascular health
with ease”
• “leaving out the animal products also keeps
your veins nice and clean so you don’t have to
worry about cholesterol buildup or clogged
arteries”
30. Validation of sources
• The source of this article is a vegan website
called ‘one green planet’. I do not feel that this
source is fully credible in terms of information
as they have not backed up any of their claims
with research or links to other articles of any
kind. The language used within the article is
also very informal and it therefore makes me
question the credibility of the article as it
seems more of a selling point than a factual
post.
31. What are the effects of being vegan on
the atmosphere
• Summary: the article lists
the different ways that
consuming meant products
and having livestock
contributes to harmful
environmental effects in a
16 point list.

of all greenhouse gasses”

increase 80% by 2050”
• “Livestock or livestock feed covers one third of
the earths ice free land”
• “Animal agriculture is responsible for up to
91% of the destruction of the amazon
rainforest.”
33. Validation of the source
• The source of the information is PETA which is a
very large organisation that is multinational. For
this reason I am inclined to trust the credibility of
the source. The writer of the article has also
provided links for where they got the information
from if you need to double check the validity of
the information. I feel this is important as this is a
blog section of the PETA website and therefore
the information may be slightly bias and giving
the option to check defiantly increases its
credibility.
34. Health benefits of being vegan
• Summary: the article lists
around 50 health
benefits for going vegan.
They are catagorised by
nutrition, disease
prevention, physical
benefits, other benefits.

prevent the onset of age related macular degeneration”

• “Eating nuts and whole grains whilst eliminating dairy

• “Several population studies show that a diet without meat
leads to lower BMIs usually an indicator of healthy weight
and lack of fat on the body.”
36. Validation of sources
• The source of this information is nursing
degree.net which is a large website that aims
to help educate future nurses. For this reason
I believe that the information is accurate as it
has been constructed for the purpose of
education and uses the sources that it has got
its information from to help back up its points.
37. Can you still be an athlete on a vegan
diet?

calories from healthy fats such as avocados, nut butters
or seeds as this will help maintain a healthy body
weight”
