Whay are there no dedicated vegan/vegetarian cookery programmes on the major TV channels?!
More and more people are wising up to the vegan diet and even more out there are at least vegetarian, so why has there never ever been (in the history of television) at least one programme devoted to cooking vegan food!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I guess there's not a demand for it!. I personally loathe the Food Network for this very reason!. They claim to appeal to a lot of food tastes, but where is the veg*n show!? I'm vegan, but I'd still enjoy a vegetarian show!
My local PBS station has a few "specialty" channels with different themes!. There is the Create station that plays a cooking show called "Christina Cooks"!. The tag line for her show is that she prepares whole foods, which, as it turns out is a euphemism for vegan fare!. She never uses any animal products!. You might want to check your local listings!.
(I've always wanted to say that!)
:-D
Here's the link about her show:

Most cookery programmes target mainstream consumers, and while vegetarianism is indeed expanding, it's not quite up to mainstream level yet!.
Keep up the pressure though!. Even with mainstream programmes, veggie dishes are often featured!. This proprotion will increase in time as more people have interest in veggie eating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
