Recently the Vegan Society have come out with a strong statement, declaring that "cultured meat is not vegan, nor will it ever be". Is this absolute statement necessary to protect the integrity of the animal rights message, or could a bit more pragmatism be applied here? Julie & Ant discuss this, referencing the following two articles:https://www.greenqueen.com.hk/is-lab-grown-meat-vegan/ https://www.vegansociety.com/sites/default/files/uploads/downloads/Cultured%20Meat%20Research%20Briefing.pdf As ever, we love hearing your views on the topics under discussion (or anything else!) so do drop us your thoughts via enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com*************Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights.

In the latest episode of The Vegan Pod we're diving into the history of veganism, tracing the movement's roots back to the founding of The Vegan Society in 1944 and exploring how it has grown and evolved over the decades. We're fortunate to have two incredible guests with us for this episode. First, we're joined by Kim Stallwood, an animal rights author and scholar with decades of experience in the movement. Also joining us is Matthew Cole, a sociologist and lecturer whose research has explored veganism, anti-veganism and the cultural construction of human-animal relations. Together, they explore the founding of The Vegan Society and unpack some of the challenges faced by vegans over the years.  The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.   

Heute vor 80 Jahren gründete der Brite Donald Watson die Vegan Society.

✨Episodio 146 del podcast VEGANISMO Y SOSTENIBILIDAD de Infovegana✨ ️ En este episodio hablamos de: ►Actualizamos la información sobre el caso de Paul Watson. Tres semanas más de prisión preventiva en Groenlandia (hasta el 13 de noviembre) a la espera de si Dinamarca decide extraditarlo a Japón para su juicio y con la duda de si Francia aceptará su petición de asilo político. ►Os traemos un informe que nos habla de la rentabilidad de las campañas para salvar animales y reducir el consumo de carne. ¿Cuántas vidas animales se salvan por cada dólar invertido en una campaña? ►Os explicamos el origen espiritual de la Vegan Society formada al final de la segunda Guerra Mundia y liderada por Donald Watson, sus diferencias con el veganismo político tal y como lo conocemos hoy en día y los intentos por ocultar esta historia. ►Comentamos un informe sobre consumo de carne en Europa y el declive en la explotación de ciertos animales. ¿Estamos viviendo un cambio de conducta de los consumidores que nos acerca hacia una sociedad vegana? ►La comisión de la Unión Europea frena el intento de Hungría de prohibir la carne cultivada. Esto nos puede dar pistas de las intenciones de la UE con la regulación de la carne de laboratorio en los próximos meses y puede dejar en papel mojado la ley que aprobó recientemente Italia para prohibir su consumo. ►Y como siempre, recomendaciones, repaso de la semana, anécdotas y mucho más ;) ⚡️CADA DOMINGO UN NUEVO EPISODIO DEL PODCAST (disponible en Ivoox, Spotify, Apple Podcast) donde charlamos tranquilamente sobre anécdotas, comentamos noticias, os planteamos dilemas morales y compartimos recomendaciones.

In the latest episode of The Vegan Pod, we're talking about veganic agriculture—a method of farming that uses no animal products or byproducts in the growing process.  Joining us for this episode we have co-founder of the Veganic Agriculture Network, Meg Kelly, and pioneer in the field of stock-free organic farming, Iain Tolhurst. Together, they unpack the ethical and environmental benefits of veganic agriculture and explore how the movement can continue to grow. The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.    

This week, The Vegan Society reported that NHS Prevent training (a programme designed to spot radicalisation of vulnerable individuals) has removed vegans as an example of those who may be liable to 'radicalise' others. Is this a step forward? Or do we quite like being radical?! Dominic, Julie & Ant discuss this, as well as 9 others stories from the week's animal rights & vegan space.****************Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights.

As children enter the new school year and students head back to university after  summer, we're asking: What is vegan-inclusive education and why is it important?  Two brilliant guests join us for this discussion – Plant Based Universities Lead Coordinator, Alistair Stuart; and Laura Chepner, Education Officer at The Vegan Society and founder of The Vegan Society's Education Network. The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.   

Mark Humanity is a long-time vegan activist. He currently lives on the edge of a rainforest in New Zealand and is on the Board of the Vegan Society of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Mark has been involved in animal rights since a teenager, initially in Ireland's embryonic movement and later in the much more developed UK movement. A hunt saboteur for many years, Mark has been vegan since 1989 and got involved with the NZ Vegan Society via his vegan outreach Initiative called “Vegan Living Auckland”. He is currently helping raise two plant-based children and has a background in mental health nursing. Mark is the author of "The Humanity Trigger". In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what's real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?" Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings."

Ultra-processed vegan foods have been a hot topic in the media recently and have been called out for having negative health implications. On the latest episode of The Vegan Pod, we explore the truth behind the headlines and ask: Are ultra-processed foods bad for us? How do vegan ultra-processed foods compare to their non-vegan counterparts? Are there benefits to choosing to eat processed foods?  To answer all these questions and more, we're joined by guests Emily McKee and Jenny Chapman. Registered Dietitian Emily works here at The Vegan Society as part of our Nutrition Team, and biologist Jenny was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2023 to investigate the adoption, acceptance and trust of plant-based meat and authored the report “Processing the discourse over plant-based meat”.  The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.       RESOURCES: Processing the discourse over plant-based meat - Jenny Chapman Ultra-processed food and veganism: What are the facts? - Emily McKee Food labelling: nutrition information - British Dietetic Association Plant-based meat and health in Europe - The Good Food Institute

A local Orewa business has been named the Supreme Winner of this years Vegan Society of Aotearoa Vegan Cheese Awards, for 'The Greek' a dairy free Feta. 

The Vegan society is pushing for better labelling standards in Aotearoa with the rise in alternative products on the market. Currently manufacturers are able to use the terms vegan and vegetarian without any standards applying. Some of those products may still contain ingredients from animals. Vegan Society spokesperson Claire Insley speaks to Jesse.

Having been established back in 1978, the Vegetarian Society of Ireland recently changed its name. What is the reason for this? And why are the majority of their members women? Joining Seán to discuss is James O'Donovan, Secretary of the Vegan Society of Ireland.

In this episode I'm joined by Helena Davidson from The Vegan Society to discuss the conscious choices campaign. Find out more about The Vegan Society's Conscious Choices campaign at this link Conscious Choices shows that veganism goes beyond food and helps animal lovers to opt for products, such as cosmetics, which are kinder to animals

On the latest episode of The Vegan Pod, we're celebrating World Environment Day by discussing how our relationship with non-human animals contributes to the climate crisis and asking what we can do to change it. Despite research illustrating the widespread environmental impact of animal agriculture, it is often an issue that gets left out of conversations about the climate crisis. To help us explore why this is and what we can do about it, we're joined by Dr Richard Twine and Dr Heather Marshall from The Centre for Human Animal Studies at Edgehill University. Together, with our host, they unpack the role that the current relationship between humans and animals plays in the environmental crisis, the impacts of the climate crisis on animals and how education can play a key role in encouraging wider adoption of veganism. The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.  

In this episode, Sunny Simon, President of The Cleveland Vegan Society, joins us to talk about veganism and VegFest 2024, coming to Cleveland's Huntington Convention Center on Saturday, June 22. It's the largest Vegan festival in the Midwest, and it will be delicious, fun, and informative for vegans and non-vegans alike. The Cleveland Vegan Society created VegFest over 12 years ago to celebrate veganism and to encourage more plant-based eating. This year's festival features an impressive lineup of activities, speakers, cooking demos, a cruelty-free marketplace, a kids' activity area, yoga, and more. Join us as Sunny shares about becoming a vegetarian and then a vegan thirty years ago and the environmental and humane reasons she advocates for the vegan lifestyle. She also clears up some misconceptions about vegans and offers tips for transitioning to a more plant-based diet. Everyone is welcome at VegFest, where over 13,000 people will gather to eat, have fun, and learn from speakers, including  Sarina Farb, Christopher "Soul" Eubanks, Will Brooks, Dr. Keary O'Connor, and Gwenna Hunter. Cooking demos include chefs Chad Goodwin, Sonia Steele, and Anna Marie Harouvis. Whatever your dietary preferences, there will be something to satisfy everyone's tastes.  Guest :Sunny Simon, President of the Cleveland Vegan Society and Cuyahoga County Council memberResources:Film - Peaceable KingdomThe Cleveland Vegan SocietyVegFest 2024 Top Vegan TV showBitchy Vegan Homo (vegan recipes)Follow us: https://www.facebook.com/ecospeaksclehttps://www.instagram.com/ecospeakscleContact us:hello@ecospeakscle.com

In the latest episode of The Vegan Pod, we're talking about cosmetics and asking how we can make more conscious choices in our everyday purchases. Interest in vegan beauty is at an all-time high after growing steadily over the last 10 years but lots of people don't fully understand what vegan beauty is or why they should be looking out for it.   To help us dig a little deeper into how our everyday choices can make such a difference to animals, we're joined by two brilliant guests: Hannah Montgomery, our Campaigns Manager here at The Vegan Society, and Jay Bharj, founder of “Root Minerals” a vegan cosmetics brand.  The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.

In this episode Rachel, having been asked a number of times if she's actually vegan because she has bought an avocado, thought it was time to explore the issue and create an episode to answer questions such as these: are almonds and avocados vegan? can vegans eat avocado? do vegans eat avocados? how are avocados not vegan? why aren't avocados vegan? why is veganism so associated with avocados? fellow vegans do you purchase and consume avocados?   For a keto-vegan avocados are an excellent choice of food because their nutritional values, per 100g, are: fat 19.5, carbs 2.9, protein 1.9 fibre 3.4. They also include 485 mg of potassium, vitamin C, folate, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), vitamin E, and magnesium.   Find out how Rachel thinks we can change the world; if she remembers the first time she ever had some avocado; and whether she does or does not buy them.   It is claimed that avocados have been blamed for driving millennials to the brink of financial ruin, (this links to an Australian article claiming that eating Avocados on toast is costing millennials the price of a house deposit! Take this article with a pinch of salt I feel!) Avocados also then became a health hazard with the proliferation of “avocado hand” injuries (caused by sloppy attempts to remove the pit with a chef's knife). Finally, and Rachel thinks this is the biggest controversy QI asked that fateful question around avocados not being vegan. The Vegan Society, who created the word ‘vegan' and ‘veganism' states the definition of being a vegan: "is a way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ... In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."  In an ideal world, we would live entirely independent of animals, and would not take advantage of their natural processes. But the definition acknowledges that it is not possible for every individual to completely avoid all forms of exploitation. Because many crops, in the mass quantity needed, are difficult to cultivate naturally, they rely on bees which are taken, in their hives, on backs of trucks, long distances across California, USA. This is known as migratory bee-keeping. It is an unnatural use of animals.   Valuable Resources For an extensive list of foods with their carb, fat and protein count, go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how For a keto-vegan start-up menu and shopping list go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how Articles Rachel used in researching this important issue: https://www.thekitchn.com/are-avocados-vegan-migratory-bees-263550 https://www.tastingtable.com/849272/why-some-people-believe-avocados-arent-vegan/ https://www.veganfoodandliving.com/features/are-avocados-vegan/   Host Bio Rachel, a once morbidly obese individual, experienced a remarkable body transformation through the keto diet. Later, she embraced veganism and now shares her extensive knowledge and obsession with carbs in vegan proteins on The Keto Vegan podcast. Her goal is to demonstrate the simplicity of combining the keto diet with a vegan lifestyle.

In the latest episode of The Vegan Pod we're turning our sights to the art world and talking to two vegan artists, Rebecca Lanyon Willmott and Philip McCulloch-Downs, about how their veganism intersects with their artwork, about using art as a form of activism and how to ensure all of your art materials are animal-friendly. The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.

In this thought-provoking episode, Niall delves into the contentious topic of animal welfare and the perceived hypocrisy of meat consumption. The discussion is prompted by a message from a vegan listener who challenges the inconsistency of loving pets while consuming animals as food.Niall begins by presenting findings from a survey commissioned by Future Normal and The Vegan Society, revealing that nearly half of meat-eaters in Britain feel hypocritical for loving certain animals, such as dogs, while consuming others, such as pigs. The survey highlights the internal conflict experienced by many individuals who grapple with guilt and contradictory values regarding animal welfare.Listeners weigh in on the debate, offering diverse perspectives on the ethical implications of meat consumption and animal care. Some callers argue that consuming meat while claiming to care about animals constitutes hypocrisy, emphasizing the need for individuals to align their actions with their professed values. They advocate for transitioning to a cruelty-free lifestyle and adopting ethical dietary choices that prioritize animal welfare.Conversely, other callers push back against the notion of labeling meat-eaters as hypocrites, asserting that loving pets and consuming meat are not mutually exclusive behaviors. They contend that many meat-eaters genuinely care about animal welfare and support humane farming practices, challenging the oversimplification of complex dietary choices.As the discussion unfolds, Niall facilitates a respectful exchange of viewpoints, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own attitudes towards animal welfare and dietary habits.In the wrap-up, Niall reflects on the nuanced nature of the debate, acknowledging the challenges inherent in reconciling personal values with societal norms and cultural practices. He emphasizes the importance of continued dialogue and introspection in addressing issues related to animal welfare and ethical consumption.

In the first Vegan Pod episode of 2024, we're asking "is vegan cooking difficult?". A common stereotype is that creating vegan meals is complicated and time consuming, but is there any truth to this? As we approach the end of Veganuary, many people who are new to veganism will be deciding whether to continue the lifestyle or return to their old ways, and for a lot of people, convenience and ease can be a huge factor in this.   Vegan content creators and recipe developers, Madeleine Olivia and Johnny Morillo, join us for this episode to explore this subject and discuss how we can make veganism seem straightforward and accessible to those who might think otherwise!   The views expressed by guests on The Vegan Pod are not necessarily the views of The Vegan Society.

Welcome to another captivating episode of The Keto Vegan podcast. In today's instalment, your host, Rachel, has the privilege of sitting down with Dy, a remarkable individual who has embarked on a truly transformative journey. Dy, who is 53, has been grappling with bipolar disorder, and made the courageous decision to embrace a vegan lifestyle five years ago, and later delved into the world of keto just one year ago. What makes Dy's story truly extraordinary is the revelation that the ketogenic diet has not only benefited her physical health but has also had a profound impact on her bipolar disorder. Get ready for an enlightening conversation as Rachel explores Dy's unique journey towards better health and well-being. It's a story of resilience, self-discovery, and the intersection of veganism and the ketogenic diet – a story that promises to inspire and educate. Stay tuned for this compelling episode of The Keto Vegan podcast! If you enjoy this podcast, please leave me a review and share it with your friends. Thank you for listening and stay tuned for the next episode. Key Takeaways Dy was diagnosed with post-partum bipolar when 37, so started taking medication that messed with her weight and she ended up being 50lbs heavier than she wanted to be at 180lbs. Dy was feeling pretty low about herself and was also experiencing perimenopause. A friend of Dys, who was of similar age, was on the ketogenic diet, so Dy, despite being vegan, thought she would give it a go. This greatly improved not only her physical health, but also her mental health. Best Moments “One day I woke up and I had this big belly, it was so weird.” “I found out that you can use the ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder … in addition to deal with the side effects.” “When I started taking this MCT Oil I felt it revved up the ketogenic process, and it does.” “England is the best country, you guys are so progressive with veganism, we need to follow in your footsteps.” Valuable Resources: Vegan Keto cookbook by Liz MacDowell https://amzn.to/47ywyrh MCT Oil: This is highly rated on Amazon and is vegan https://amzn.to/3tVRt99 Keto Urine Test Strips: 5 x 25 aluminium Sachets in a bottle (this is better to keep them fresh) https://amzn.to/45R0LQY 125 strips https://amzn.to/3QELQFa Bipolarcast podcast about Dyane's journey with vegan keto for bipolar: https://t.ly/UniDs  Instagram: @dyaneharwood.

As the number of vegans grows, so too does the number of vegans who say they're experiencing discrimination at school or at work. Some of these vegans are taking cases to court, relying on both international conventions and national laws. Now meet a panel of experts in this field who are leading the fight for fairness for those who choose compassion in their choice of of food, clothing and entertainment. The Vegan Society's International Rights Network founder Dr. Jeanette Rowley from the UK, plaintiff Astrid Prevost from Paris, attorney Jerold “Jerry” Friedman from California and attorney Wade Poziomka from Canada join UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell for this fascinating conversation.

The Vegan Society's International Rights Network founder Dr. Jeanette Rowley from the UK, plaintiff Astrid Prevost from Paris, attorney Jerold “Jerry” Friedman from California and attorney Wade Poziomka from Canada join UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell for this fascinating conversation.

Dr. Jeanette Rowley holds a PhD in Law and has a special interest in veganism and human rights. She has published widely and presented globally on the subject of legal protection for vegans. She founded and chaired The Vegan Society's International Rights Network. Last year, she and Dr. Carlo Prisco edited Law and Veganism: International Perspectives on the Human Right to Freedom of Conscience (2022). Dr. Rowley is the driving force behind a decade of symposiums on vegan rights. She has given evidence in Mr. Casamitjana's case and gave oral evidence for Canadian firefighter Adam Knauff. Astrid Prevost is an ethical vegan and aspiring dietician. She battled bulimia for several years, until veganism gave Astrid the strength to create boundaries; to reject what she didn't want; to say “no.” In respecting other animals, she found self-respect. Those boundaries are being tested now, by a cooking class that demands Astrid use animal products or risk failing. Astrid offered to substitute animal ingredients with vegan ones and submitted a doctor's note. When both were rejected, she initiated a lawsuit in France for discrimination. Tamara Bedić, is an ethical vegan, animal rescuer, employment attorney. Tamara is a past-President of the National Lawyers Guild, NYC chapter. She is chair of the Animal Rights Committee. When she's not championing the rights of women in the workplace, she is organizing webinars or rescuing birds in distress. She is ‘Mom' to two FIV+ tom cats.     Links mentioned in the podcast: 1. FREE WEBINAR: Expanding Vegan Rights, Tuesday, October 17, 2023, 12 – 1pm EDT Four plaintiffs and three lawyers will discuss vegan discrimination cases in the U.S., UK, Canada and France. The laws of these countries differ, but the common goal is having ethical veganism recognized as a “creed” or “ethical belief” worthy of protection from discrimination. The ethical vegans who will be speaking about their individual cases are: Jerold Friedman, Jordi Casamitjana, Adam Knauff and Astrid Prevost. 2. Crowdfunding for Mathias, who will also speak on the above October 17th webinar: https://www.ulule.com/droit-detre-vegane/ Astrid shares this message with us: I'd like to take this opportunity to let you know about this existential project supported by the AVF: in many collective catering places, vegans are prevented from eating according to their philosophy, and attempts are made to force them to consume animal products. This is what happened to Mathias during a preventive incarceration. He was left with no access to vegan meals during 11 months, and sometimes could not eat anything for days as all dishes were cooked with dairy or eggs. Although he was in perfect health before being held in custody, he came out of detention malnourished and with several nutrient deficiencies. Today, Mathias and his lawyer are taking the case to the European Court of Human Rights: if they win, this will have consequences in all 46 member countries of the Council of Europe. Beyond the prison setting, access to vegan meals will be recognized as a fundamental right. We need your help to turn our right into a reality : we have a crowdfunding going on to finance Maître Olivier Peter's work, a lawyer specializing in European and international law. Every euro counts: please support us, and spread the word! His lawyer, Olivier Peter, defended a lot of antispeciest and does it pro bono in front of national courts, but going to an international court like the ECHR requires a lot more work, and that's why there is this crowdfunding.

Today Rachel sits down with Gary, the visionary behind Plant Based School Kitchens. She unveils his journey in crafting allergen-free delicacies and his dedication to meeting diverse dietary needs as well as discussing the challenges of vegan and gluten-free living, especially dining out, highlighting the call for more inclusive eateries. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Plant Based School Kitchens provide allergen-free, plant-based meals for schools, catering to various dietary restrictions. The founders, Gary and Anna, are passionate about creating delicious and nutritious plant-based dishes that children and adults will enjoy. The company has received support and recognition from organisations like the Vegan Society and ProVeg International. They prioritise sustainability by reducing food waste and sourcing ingredients from local suppliers. The ultimate goal is to change the school food standards to allow for more plant-based options in mainstream schools. BEST MOMENTS "We opened up the Vegan Street Food Company. Our idea with the name we took a brand on was to do festivals and do events all across the country." "We wanted to make the foods that were familiar to the children. So things that they would have at home, but with a plant-based twist." "We try not to use garlic, tomato, and onions because there are many folks that can't have them and they still want children that are allergic to them." "We go and collect all the fruit and veg that we can try, so we will try and make use of it at the school, to stop it from going to landfill." "Changing what you eat to change the world." GUEST BIO Gary is a former chef turned pioneering vegan culinary artist. After a tenure with Age UK, he embarked on a transformative odyssey when his partner's intolerances sparked a mission. This journey led to the establishment of Worthing's Vegan Street Food shop. Approached by Our Lady Of Sion, he revitalised a dormant school kitchen, introducing nutritious, familiar flavours to the junior school. With resounding success, he extended the plant-based revolution school-wide, surprising sceptics as students embraced the cuisine's deliciousness over its meatless nature. His influence transcends the school realm, engaging in dialogues with Greenpeace, WWF, and even the Houses of Parliament. As England and Europe's sole vegan school caterers, they are global pioneers. Collaborating with nutritionists and pursuing allergen-free excellence, they continue to reshape perceptions and tantalise taste buds with their innovative, compassionate approach. https://plantbasedschoolkitchens.co.uk/ HOST BIO Rachel, a once morbidly obese individual, experienced a remarkable body transformation through the keto diet.

Hannah Coyne, Campaigns Manager from The Vegan Society joins me on this week's episode to chat about The Vegan Society's 'Live Vegan for Less' campaign. Many people still believe that vegan food is always more expensive than non-vegan food. Whilst some of the latest plant-based alternatives to meat and cheese are exciting, the cost can also add up. We know from experience that being vegan doesn't have to break the bank. Live Vegan for Less aims to demonstrate a more cost-effective way of preparing nutritious vegan meals, showing that vegan living can be affordable for all. You can find out more at https://www.vegansociety.com/take-action/campaigns/live-vegan-less

David C. Arenas is an animal rights activist from Colombia. He is passionate about veganism from a rights-based perspective and is well-versed on the history of veganism and the animal rights movement. In this episode he shares the red flags he spotted leading up to CosmicSkeptic's recent u-turn, and we discuss the initial intentions of the founders of the Vegan Society. David also shares why Leslie Cross—not Donald Watson—was perhaps the most significant figure in the foundation of the modern vegan movement and its principles, and talks about the errors he has seen the Vegan Society make since Cross's initial doctrine. David also shares why he sees utilitarianism as an incompatible philosophy with veganism. Instagram: @davidc.arenas
