“I understand that when you have been [going to] a restaurant for many years, for some customers, it's normal to think that somehow you own it a little bit, like, ‘Oh, this is my table, this is my restaurant.' And, then when the restaurant changes completely, you feel really betrayed… I invited them. I invited a lot of people, a lot of my regular customers. I said, ‘don't worry, we have changed. But nothing has changed, you know, just come. I invite you and your family. You come and eat just like you used to do, and you are going to love it.' And they did not. And they took revenge. Took revenge.” – Alexis Gauthier    Alexis Gauthier opened his first restaurant in London when he was 24. He got his first Michelin star a couple of years later. He's a French chef who has run Gauthier Soho for many years. And for a great part of that time his restaurant served traditional French food. But, in 2016, Alexis became vegan and in 2021 he removed all animal products from his restaurant menus. This created quite the uproar. Alexis and I met in London last week and I had dinner at Gauthier Soho the day after this conversation. The food is even better than what he describes, it was one of the best meals I've ever had.   Please listen, share and then sign up for the Species Unite 30 Day Vegan Challenge.   Links: Species Unite: SpeciesUnite.com Gauthier Soho: https://www.gauthiersoho.co.uk/ Studio Gauthier: https://www.studiogauthier.co.uk/  123V: https://www.123vegan.co.uk/  123V Bakery: https://123vegan.co.uk/bakery.php  

Eric Lindstrom once ate 68 chicken wings in one sitting. Today, he works full-time in animal advocacy and has written two books on veganism. What changed? The self-proclaimed carnivore adopted a plant-based diet over a bet with his wife. While he admittedly grumbled the whole time, what was intended to be a 30-day health kick turned into a lifelong passion. Once Eric discovered that he didn't have to give up his favorite meaty, cheesy foods, he stopped grumbling and embraced the plant-based way of life.  With his relatable personality and relaxed humor, Eric encourages others to adopt a plant-based diet by illustrating its bounty of delicious options and its accessibility.  A father of two young children, Eric also helps parents navigate a family-wide switch to plant-based.  Tune in for some laughs, insight, and practical tips to make the switch.  “The first third of my life, I was eating animals. I was unapologetic about it. It was part of my culture. It was part of my upbringing. It was part of my every day, and Alexandria almost half joking about meat-eating a hippo because I ate a lot of weird and exotic animals and thought nothing of it. And so at, I think, around the age of 43, 42, or 43, I made the switch overnight to 100% plant-based vegan diet and haven't looked back. So yeah, I wouldn't need a hippo tonight. I would love to get a hippo hug, though. Sounds like that's too dangerous, though. You were, but I mean, you're not just you're even your average meat eater because, in one sitting, you ate 68 chicken wings. So you were you're a meat eater and proud of it.” – Eric Lindstrom   What we discuss in this episode: Eric's past as an adamant meat-loving omnivore and his “reluctance” to go plant-based. The bet between him and his wife that triggered his overnight adoption of the plant-based diet—and how he only thought it would be 30 days instead of the rest of his life.  The book that sparked Eric's curiosity about diet change—Colleen Patrick Goudreau's The 30-Day Vegan Challenge. What to eat if you live in a rural area and don't have access to alternative foods? The bounty of plant-based options available in stores and online, including Eric's favorite products—Tinkyada Gluten-Free Pasta and Bob's Red Mill Protein Powder.  Basic kid-friendly family meal ideas.  Eric's two books—The Skeptical Vegan and The Smart Parent's Guide to Raising Vegan Kids.    Send us a voice message and ask a question.

“My family was really suffering from all types of diet related health issues. I had an aunt who had multiple amputations before it took her life because of type two diabetes. I had a 40-year-old uncle who had a heart attack. My grandpa, who helped raise me, died of complications in a triple bypass surgery. All over the place there was suffering and it's really hard to, not feel like you have not the answer, but the direction to go in to reclaim your health, and not be taken seriously.” – Toni Okamoto Species unite is starting our 30 Day Vegan Challenge tomorrow.

Normally on Business for Good, we focus on companies using innovative commerce to solve serious social problems. In this episode though, we’re focusing on a less traditional type of business: the life of a solo-preneuer. That’s to say, the life of a business person who isn’t trying to build a team and grow into a huge company, but rather someone who goes it alone and makes a business work essentially by themselves. If you’re interested in the plant-based world, you likely know Colleen Patrick-Groudreau’s name, since Colleen is essentially a brand unto herself, often known as the Joyful Vegan. In fact, The Joyful Vegan is the name of her latest (and 7th) book. A long-time advocate for pragmatic and friendly animal advocacy, Colleen has built her own empire of revenue streams that allow her to earn money by putting out her positive message of compassion and joy into the world.  Many people who want to promote animal-friendly eating may go work for an animal charity or work for a company making alternative protein. Those are of course cool things to do. But Colleen has for decades now successfully charted a different path of advocacy, and has made a good business out of doing so.  Whether it’s earning revenue from her books on vegan eating, from sponsored vegan-friendly vacations, from online cooking classes, and more, Colleen has a truly diversified approach to ensuring her own living while urging the rest of us to adopt a live and let live mentality toward other animals.  As you’ll hear in this interview, Colleen really was an influencer long before there was social media. She was collecting small contributions from fans of her work long before there was Patreon. She was podcasting for animals long before most people knew what a podcast was. And she was writing plant-based cookbooks, of which she’s sold more than a quarter million copies, long before there was an internet full of unlimited plant-based resources. In other words, Colleen really is an OG of plant-based advocacy. So enjoy listening to her story of how she got started and how she’s made her business of advocating compassion for animals work for so long.  Discussed in this episode Colleen’s web site with all her resources, including books, videos, cooking classes, and more. Colleen’s conversations with Paul on his podcasts Animology and Food for Thought. Books by Joseph Campbell Bond pet food, which is seeking to make clean meat pet food. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau Bio: Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s compassionate living philosophy is propelling plant-based eating into the mainstream and forever changing how we regard animals.

She is an acclaimed speaker and beloved host of the inspiring podcast, “Food for Thought,” which has been voted Favorite Podcast by VegNews magazine readers several years in a row.

Along with fellow advocates, she recently formed a political action committee called East Bay Animal PAC to work with government officials on animal issues in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Today I review 'Endgame 2050' a new documentary about the 6th extinction. Instead of it being caused by a volcano or meteor like the previous 5 extinctions this time it's one species causing most of the damage. Some hairless ape like  creature called humans. It took 65 million years to build that back all that biodiversity that was wiped out in the last extinction and in just 200 years we've managed to all but destroy it.  Some might say that sucks Brad but how does that affect me? The healthiest foods we eat are dependent on animal pollinators like bees. Without them we wouldn't have those options anymore...They help produce 75% of our crops!he last 40 years we've lost half of the wildlife on the planet. So when I was 6 years old there were twice as many animals as there are today.  How did we get here? Wiping out 50% of the animals is just 40 years? It's overpopulation and how we consume resources. The livestock industry is the single largest user of land on earth. It's the major driver of deforestation. They take up almost half of the planet. We always hear about how we should drive hybrid or electric cars, limit out electricity and water usage but the impact of our diet on the environment is the biggest factor. Animals make a very inefficient food source. They take up massive amounts of water, land and cause pollution. Try out a plant based diet today and become a superhuman!

Bryan Adams is the latest person to get called out from the cancel culture for saying C19 came from China. However, just because someone reports a fire doesn't make them an arsonists. Wet Markets and factory farms are hot spots for disease and infection because the animals are kept in cramped, horrific, dirty environments. It's also barbaric AF. Thank you for listening!

Eric Lindstrom once ate 68 chicken wings in one sitting. Today, he works full-time in animal advocacy and has written two books on veganism. What changed?   The self-proclaimed carnivore adopted a plant-based diet over a bet with his wife. While he admittedly grumbled the whole time, what was intended to be a 30-day health kick turned into a lifelong passion.   Once Eric discovered that he didn’t have to give up his favorite meaty, cheesy foods, he stopped grumbling and embraced the plant-based way of life.    With his relatable personality and relaxed humor, Eric encourages others to adopt a plant-based diet by illustrating its bounty of delicious options and its accessibility.    A father of two young children, Eric also helps parents navigate a family-wide switch to plant-based.    Tune in for some laughs, insight, and practical tips to make the switch.    What we discuss in this episode:   - Eric’s past as an adamant meat-loving omnivore and his “reluctance” to go plant-based.   - The bet between him and his wife that triggered his overnight adoption of the plant-based diet—and how he only thought it would be 30 days instead of the rest of his life.    - The book that sparked Eric’s curiosity with diet change—Colleen Patrick Goudreau’s The 30-Day Vegan Challenge.   - What to eat if you live in a rural area and don’t have access to alternative foods.   - The bounty of plant-based options available in stores and online including Eric’s favorite products—Tinkyada Gluten-Free Pasta and Bob’s Red Mill Protein Powder.    - Basic kid-friendly family meal ideas.    - Eric’s two books—The Skeptical Vegan and The Smart Parent’s Guide to Raising Vegan Kids.   - To support our mission to educate, inspire, and embolden the world to lean into eating plants instead of baby cow growth food, donate today to spread the word.   Connect with Switch4Good   - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   - Twitter: https://twitter.com/SwitchForGood   - Website: switch4good.org

Jordonel, a twice divorced mother of 4, dealt with racism and it was hard to deal with growing up, she spent a lot of years on a farm her mom purchased so she could have animals and find peace. She came from biracial parents.  Her mom also brought many children from unfortunate situations into their home without pay. She studied Psychology/Behavioral Science for 6 years at UVU. Before becoming clinically depressed. She sought help and began gaining weight from medications, and other physical ailments took control of her body and life. She spent 4 years mainly in bed.  She would drink heavily when going out with friends. While in bed for years she began researching ways to heal. Worried she would be dependent on pharmaceutical drugs, she started dropping as many as possible.  She went from about 20 drugs a day to being off drugs completely. In the midst of all of this she was angry and didn't have healthy relationships, nor a positive outlook on the future.  She has been vegan since July 6th 2017.  She has knocked unhealthy addictions out of her life ever since! With a friend she started a 21 Day Vegan Challenge online, it's free. She now helps mentor people through their transition. Life throws challenges but having a healthy mind has dramatically changed how she deals with things. Last year her oldest son survived having a tumor taken out of his brain and three from his lower spine.  She lost her job, her home, and she has now found faith in humanity.  A great listen, and amazing story of perseverance.  #themindsgympodcast #trust #faith #love  

I truly believe that Health = Beauty, and it starts with how we eat and take care of ourselves. You don't have to be vegan or plant-based to start eating healthier, but my guest, Colleen, helps us with her expertise. I myself became plant-based in 2004 and it was easier than I thought, and I attribute my skin and hair and youthful glow to my diet, and beauty regimen. How can YOU get more greens in your diet, and feel better, look better and ease your way out of the holiday eating frenzy? Easy....add more plant-based meals to your lifestyle and diet. Colleen is world-renowned for her animal advocacy, and I have to say when I listen to her, I want to be a better person...I DO...but I can only do it one day at a time. I have learned a lot from her over the years, and I hope you give healthy eating a chance, as I care about YOU and yours. Happy Thanksgiving and cheers to great skin, teeth and hair, sponsored by plant powered meals - Janice xoxoAbout Colleen: Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s compassionate living philosophy is propelling plant-based eating into the mainstream and forever changing how we regard animals.

Sometimes when I look in the mirror I don't feel as old as the guy that stares back at me. Obviously we all age, but I don't think we have to buy into the belief that we have to age gracefully. Let's age with enthusiasm. Today I talk about intermittent fasting, exercise, meditation and of course a whole food plant based diet. Thank you so much for listening!

Introduction/About: What's up guys today we're talking about health, spirituality and the 7 day vegan challenge - whoa! - What is the 7 day vegan challenge/how I heard about it - why doing? -vegans always talking about it(bad rap) - health - challenge - overcome previous length (college) - getting made fun of, super bowl party broke with wings - energy and vibration in food - Hope to feel better and open third eye - How starting: ate all meats (chicken, most of cheese, hid the chocolate) - Trader Joe's bought $100 of food (carrots, cabbage, potatoes, zucchini) - Philosophy is that I'm just eating the side dishes now - fries, celery, - Challenges: - Hope to not tell everyone I know about it - accidentally eating something - having food on hand when hungry - label reading - Not having ranch - I will give updates every day Day 1 Update: Getting made fun of in college for it - pat of reason why don't want to tell people - ate my famous stir fry breakfast - then put into burrito - lots of nuts and snacks during the day - Was a little tempted by cookie in break room - then evening selected chips and salsa, and some beers. - was a little hungry in the evening to balance the beer so scouraged the fridge and luckily didn’t have any cheese or things easy to make that would tempt me. That’s my one weakness is having things on hand to eat - health: more craps during the day, probably cause breaking down food easier - spiritual update: about the same for now other than feeling better Day 2: Vibrational frequency - many food is tortured (do we want that in our bodies?) - lazy day at home, made soup (hard to not use butternut squash my dad made me) - still frequently hungry - craving chocolate and cake Day 3: Imperfect produce - less inclined to want chocolate - caused me to do more cooking, but I like warm vegetables - made home made french fries - Mediated for 30 mins - broke record Day 4: Hate wasting food so ate all the chicken, eggs and cheese from home - Snacked on chips from desk - Almost accidentally ate some celery with ranch on it, but quickly thought about it and spilled the ranch all over my front side - Had conversation about Keto and proud of myself for not bringing up that I am Vegan Day 5: Short Update - Forgot to meditate - Feels good to not eat animals, stomach thanks me Day 6: Getting in the hang of things - order lunch from a Thai place called Thai Basil - I heard asian food is really good fro trying to stay vegan. Still called ahead and asked if there was butter or cheese in the food. - Almost there, the time is flying by. Still working my way through my snacks at work and have plenty of veggies at home. Let's do it! Day 7: - forgot peanut butter was vegan (butter in title) - Foods that have protein - Tofu: 10g - Edamame: 8.5g - Tempeh: 15g - Lentils: about 9g - Chickpeas (hummus): 7g - Peanuts: 20g - Almonds: 16.5g - Spirulina: 8g - Bean and rice: 7g - Potatoes: 8g - Broccoli: 4g - Mushrooms: 3g Epic sound effect transition for my five takeaways This is my experience, not a doctor. 5 things learned from challenge: 1. Food Conscious - Read the labels (grew up on McDonalds and potato chips) - Asking if things have milk, butter or cheese in them 2. Healthy food makes you hungry so have plenty on hand 3. Mentally feel better - like giving someone a compliment, opening a door, that kind of feeling (less guilt) 4. Lighter stomach 5. Knowing that it’s possible -Animals have feelings Still sti

http://www.colleenpatrickgoudreau.com WEBSITE http://www.colleenpatrickgoudreau.com/books/ BOOKS http://www.compassioninactionconference.com CONFERENCE   Vegan Lifestyle http://learntruehealth.com/vegan-lifestyle The vegan lifestyle is something more people are looking into. There have been so many positive testimonials from those who transitioned into a plant-based diet. People are starting, but some remain hesitant. To educate us more about how to live a vegan lifestyle, I’d invited Lifestyle Author and Activist Colleen Patrick-Goudreau in this episode. Long Journey Colleen Patrick-Goudreau shares that her journey to being vegan happened as a by-product of her passion and interest, as well as experiencing the benefits of a vegan lifestyle. She says it’s been a journey of 25 years starting with growing on the east coast in New Jersey. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau was a typical kid eating the standard American diet. But she also loved animals and was fortunate that her parents supported her compassion. Growing older, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau became more concerned about eating animals. She loved meat, but she didn’t know what was involved until she was 19 or 20 years old and was working in a bookstore. Eyeopener Working in a bookstore was an eyeopener for Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. She learned new things and was interested in health and wellness. One particular book, the Diet for a New America book by John Robbins from the ice cream empire impacted Colleen Patrick-Goudreau the most. “My father owned a franchise, so I had an affiliation. It woke me up to realize what I was consuming. So, I stopped eating land animals. I ate products that I thought weren’t contributing harm. But I continued to eat dairy and eggs,” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau recalls.  Becoming Vegan Colleen Patrick-Goudreau eventually realized there was no difference between meat, dairy, and eggs, so she became vegan. She declared that she didn’t set out to become anything. But she didn’t want to contribute to harm. “And there was the thing called vegan. I didn’t know what it even meant,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. “What I like to say is that I need to become vegan as much as I removed the blocks to the compassion that has been inside me all along.”  She adds, “And as a natural advocate, I wanted something related to animal advocacy, writing, outreach, and education. So I started raising awareness and turned into the career that I built.”  The 30-Day Vegan Challenge Colleen Patrick-Goudreau says that if you are thinking of transitioning to a vegan lifestyle, the 30-Day Vegan Challenge is a good book to start. She says everyone claims they don’t eat a lot of meat, dairy, and eggs. But you don’t know how much you eat until you stop. “So, the idea behind it is to stop long enough to undo those old habits and learn new habits. Build the foundation. This is a fundamental handbook in making the transition,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. “There is a lot to gain when you stop something completely. You are more open to making changes that have an impact which you can continue implementing.” Is The Vegan Lifestyle Healthy? Colleen Patrick-Goudreau says you can eat any way you want within the vegan spectrum. Because vegan means you’re just not eating animal products. She says there are so many variations within this thing called vegan. There’s not one way to do it. And there’s not one way to eat. “Eliminating meat, dairy and eggs is the best thing we can do and eating nutrient-dense foods as we can. The nutrients we need are plant-based. There is not one nutrient we need that is animal-based,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.  She adds, “The only nutrient we need that is not plant-based is vitamin B12. But it’s not animal-based either because it grows on bacteria. So, the idea that we have to go through an animal to get to the nutrient that the animals get because they eat plants is misguided.” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau further explains that therefore, we need to skip the middle animal and go directly to the plant to get the nutrients we need. And when we do, we get the vitamins, minerals, fiber, folate, phytochemicals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants. Plus, we skip all of the substances we know that contribute to these preventable diseases.  Vegan Belief System Vegan authors, nutritionists, doctors are often accused of being biased and not credible because they are vegan. So, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau says we have to get away from this notion that somehow eating animal products is neutral behavior and not biased. “We all have biases. Everything we do has a bias. It’s been shaped by our families and our cultures,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau also explains that when we are fighting to hang on to a particular belief, especially when a belief is a conflict, it compels people to throw out the facts. They disregard the evidence and science that backs up the fact that eating meat, dairy and eggs are problematic for our health, for the animals and the earth. “We all eat processed food. Eating food in their whole state as much as possible is the best thing we can do. But it doesn’t mean that everything that goes on in that spectrum towards more processed food is always bad,” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau said. Color Me Vegan Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s Color Me Vegan book encourages people to eat by color. Because when color is your guide, you are eating a huge variety of foods. And you’re getting so many vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and phytonutrients. “All of the phytonutrients are in color. You can name the phytonutrients based on their color. And those colors in the phytonutrients affect different organs in our body,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.  She adds, “Nutrient deficiencies are not only in vegans and vegetarians. A lot of it has to do where we are getting the nutrients from and not absorbing it well. We also have to make sure we are not depleting our body of the nutrients.” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau cites iron for instance. She says one way to increase iron is by eating it with vitamin c rich foods and don’t have caffeine with meals. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau says we also all need Vitamin D. And the best source is from the sun. But you can also take multi-vitamin as insurance. Switching From Meat To Plant-Based There are more calories in fat than there are in protein and carbohydrates. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau says there’s a lot of fat in animal products. You may feel hungrier at the end of that second meal because you are eating fewer calories. “The answer to when you’re hungry is to eat. But what is great about eating fewer calories, people naturally tend to lose weight,” explains Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. “If you’re hungry and you need more food, fill yourself up with really nutrient-dense colorful, healthful foods.”  She adds, “There are differences when you eat plant-based foods, but it doesn’t mean it’s bad or inferior. It’s just different. People have to learn to recalibrate what it means to feel full or how much food you’re eating. We’re so attached to what a meal looks like. So there a notion that if you remove the meat or main dish, that it’s a blank hole.” Hence the incomplete meal. That’s why Colleen Patrick-Goudreau advises people to rethink what the plate looks like and permit yourself to plate your foods differently. “A lot of it has to do with the focal point. We can create a beautiful focal point on our plate without the meat,” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau said. “So, a lot of it has to do with changing our minds. Not just changing our habits and choices we make. It’s not meat we crave. But rather we do crave fat, salt, flavor, the familiarity of dimensions and texture.” The Vegan Table Book The Vegan Table Book is based on recipes that Colleen Patrick-Goudreau taught for ten years in her cooking classes. She says recipes are not so different from those you are already familiar with. Taking it out of the box called vegan makes it so much more familiar. “My recipes are very much based on familiar ingredients. No need to go to a specialty store. It can be found in the regular grocery stores,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. “I also talk about plating our food. People also need to know what do you pair things with. The book is segregated into making meals for different occasions.” Eating Beans Colleen Patrick-Goudreau also encourages people to recalibrate how much time they think they should spend in the kitchen. Because right now, she says our threshold is zero. “We’re so used to fast food, packaged food, and processed food. Invest in a pressure cooker. I make a lot of soups and bean dishes because I love my pressure cooker so much. Cook beans from scratch because they are more flavorful,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.  She adds, “There is sugar in the beans that people can have a hard time digesting. That’s why people get gas, cramps and bloating. Bean-zyme puts an enzyme into your body that enables you to digest those sugars and reduce gas and cramping.” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau also explains that as you eat beans, your body becomes more accustomed to eating beans. And you start to have less gas. She also suggests to plan your meals ahead of time and reduce wastes. “When you get meat, dairy, and eggs out of your diet, your palate is also so much more sensitive to subtle flavors. But when they are coated with fat and salt, our palate can’t recognize and appreciate the subtle flavors,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.  She adds, “There is protein in all plant-foods. Protein is made up of amino acids. And amino acids are in all foods. Our bodies don’t care where we are getting those amino acids from. It does care in the sense that there’s a lot of evidence regarding the adverse effects of animal proteins.” Joyful Vegan Book Colleen Patrick-Goudreau says this book is perfect for teaching people everything they need to stay vegan in a world that wants you to eat meat dairy and eggs. The book focuses on the social aspects. It teaches you to re-examine where you came from, and what you were taught. “Food is the easy part. A lot of struggle for most people has to do with the social aspect,” Colleen Patrick-Goudreau said. “The book is about what happens after you turned vegan. There are common threads even if details or experiences may be different. You see the world through a different lens regarding what you know now.” Stages Of Turning Vegan In her Joyful Vegan Book, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau identified what she called the ten stages of what happens when you stop eating meat, dairy, and eggs. First is the voracious consumption of information. You validate everything you learn. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, therefore, teaches you how to move through this stage, so you don’t get stuck. She also talks about self-care in the book. Another vital stage is dealing with remorse and guilt. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau says it’s more of remorse than guilt. “The biggest mistake people make is they think being vegan is an end. They think that’s the goal when really, it’s a means to an end.  If you understand that being vegan is a means to reach your goals, you can then relax,” said Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.  She adds, “It’s about understanding that it’s not about perfection. But rather it is about reflecting your values. It’s an imperfect world, and you’ll never be able to do it perfectly. But anything you do that’s moving in that direction is good.” Some other essential stages include a sense of community. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau advises finding like-minded people. She believes communication is also necessary for you to say your truth.

Join me as I tackle the ethical concern during my 30-Day Vegan Challenge to determine where to drawing the line on eating animals. 3000 animals die every second on cruel and unhealthy factory farms, which make up more than 90% of all our animal products. Ignorance is bliss and frankly I'm scared what I'm going to uncover.

Interview with vegan royalty, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. Her early years, path to being an activist and educator, and her 30 Day Vegan Challenge.

In this episode, I will be joined by Kareem Cook and John Lewis, two very successful entrepreneurs in the health and fitness field.  Kareem is the co-owner of Naturade, a leading neutraceutical company and creator of VeganSmart, a low calorie all in one nutritional protein powder made with all vegan ingredients, also soy, gluten and dairy free.  During the interview, Kareem, along with John Lewis, who is a partner in the company and a Certified Personal Trainer, will discuss their personal journey into health and why VeganSmart is a very effective tool against obesity and other chronic diseases, especially for people in low-income communities who suffer from high risk of disease and death due to poor eating habits.  VeganSmart is a low-cost, healthy meal replacement.  They will also discuss their 21 Day Vegan Challenge.  Kareem and John are working tirelessly to bringing healthier food options to communities and the inner cities that need them the most.  They are a very socially conscious company introducing veganism or the transition to veganism as an option through VeganSmart products and showing that being vegan can be cool and isn’t hard or as difficult as one may think.

The idea of not meeting a deadline or being late for an appointment or letting someone down is the stuff of nightmares for me. Traveling with The 30-Day Vegan Challenge and speaking all around the country made it impossible for me to release this week's podcast episode. That's all you need to know, but if you want to listen to my adventures at the Natural Food Expo and my misadventures in FL and Mexico, take a listen. Regular podcast schedule resumes on March 29th! 

A small subset of opinionated, passionate, well-intentioned people perpetuate the stereotype of the angry, self-righteous, perfection-focused animal rights vegan when they spew invective at anyone who is not "vegan enough" in their eyes. They are otherwise known as The Vegan Police. Listen to today's episode for my perspective on how we can speak up for animals -- online and in person -- without alienating people who are trying to make compassionate choices.  *You can listen via by subscribing to the RSS feed or listening through iTunes, Stitcher, or Soundcloud. *Support the Food for Thought podcast *Music by Gosta Berling *Take The 30-Day Vegan Challenge! *Today's Sponsor: American Anti-Vivisection Society

Join me today as I discuss the bullhook ban victory in my own city of Oakland, CA and how it is a small step indeed. I believe there will come a day in my lifetime when we see the end of animals in circuses, but until then, we're forced to make frustratingly small, incremental steps toward that aim. I also share a couple phone calls and announce the arrival of The 30-Day Vegan Challenge.    Thank you to listener support and that of American Anti-Vivisection Society and FakeMeats.com.    Music by Gosta Berling.
