Today Hayden and Lottie discussed the ins and outs of caring for a rescued, indoor, vegan cat. This episode is in honour of our beautiful cat Ceci! We outlined reasons to try switching your cat to a vegan diet and discussed ways to do that safely. More info can be found below: Sustainable Pet Food: https://sustainablepetfood.info (especially 'FAQs' and 'Vegetarian Feline Diets'.) Their 'Sustainability' page also shows that feeding your cat or dog a diet of animal flesh has a large environmental impact: "About 25-30% of the environmental impact of livestock production within the US are attributable to dog and cat diets"! r/veganpets subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/veganpets Both the Sustainable Pet Food website and r/veganpets link to studies about a vegan diet being healthy for cats Previous Freedom of Species episodes: "Vegan Dogs & Cats / Human Population" (from 25:30) "VegePets" Vegan pet food brands: https://veganpet.com.au/product-category/vegan-cat-food/ https://www.benevo.com/ https://www.amipetfood.com/en In Australia Vegan Pet can be bought from the website above, and Benevo and Ami can be bought here: https://www.vpets.com.au/product-category/vegan-cat/vegan-cat-food/ How to brush your cat's teeth: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3dBySVcgIYI We discussed the benefits of keeping your cat indoors and options for safe outdoor access.

Meet Peanut: Artificial Intelligence for Vegan EncouragementOur guest today is Jeannie Walter, she is a retired librarian, longtime animal advocate, and has created Peanut the pig, an AI coach at the center of GetYourOinkOn.com, a vegan coaching app. Peanut uses warmth, humor, and a distinct personality to help people take meaningful steps toward eating more plants. The approach is intentionally invitational: small wins, genuine encouragement, and zero guilt. In the interview, Jeannie talks about how she got the idea to create Peanut and the importance of embracing new technologies to assist in our animal advocacy outreach. She and Hope also discuss the concerns and challenges of Artificial Intelligence, the possibilities of AI sentience, and how this could potentially support animal advocacy. Peanut is also part of something larger. GetYourOinkOn.com exists in part to raise money to feed real animals at sanctuaries — connecting every user's journey to the animals whose lives depend on it. Peanut is one of several AI animal coaches in the Messy Barnyard ecosystem, a suite of apps built around the idea that animals are among the most powerful ambassadors for their own cause.Resources:Website to meet Peanut: http://getyouroinkon.com/Website: Messy BarnyardThe Creator (film)Humans (TV series)Support this podcast:Hope for the Animals PodcastCompassionate LivingSocial Media:FacebookInstagramYouTube
This episode of the Vegan Pod is a nostalgic celebration of how one man's commitment to the cause helped spread the vegan word around London's creative scene in the 1970s and 80s. Geoff Francis ran a chain of record shops, All Change Records, in London's West End and was involved in animal advocacy, working alongside the likes of Linda McCartney, Carla Lane and Captain Sensible, before establishing himself as an artist, author and film-maker. Geoff's story isn't just one for vegans of a 'certain vintage'; it's an inspiration for all vegans, young, older and somewhere in-between.

How many grams of protein do you need to be healthy? What about fiber? Supplements? It feels like we're changing our diets daily to adhere to constantly shifting recommendations and none of it is really working to optimize our health. Christopher Gardner, Professor of Medicine in Nutrition Science at Stanford University, and featured advisor on the Netflix show, “You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment”, joins us today to talk about how the industry is stacked against us and why the solution to our diet woes is as simple as beans, peas, and lentils. For more than 30 years Christopher Gardner, PhD, has studied what to consume and to avoid for optimal health, and how best to motivate individuals to achieve healthy dietary behaviors. He recently completed a two-year term serving on the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and is the past chair of the American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee. He has conducted and published dozens of human nutrition intervention trials, including trials of Mediterranean, Ketogenic, Vegan, Low-Fat and Low-Carb diets and their effects on cardiometabolic health. Some of his current interests include Stealth Nutrition, Unapologetic Deliciousness and Institutional Food Settings. He is currently working on personalized nutrition explorations with several colleagues, with particular focus on the gut microbiome.

In “Vegan Chitlins” | Episode 248 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, the crew serves up a buffet of meat, bad math, questionable introductions, and the debut of Odicius Jones, a man with his own Odyssey and a very intense relationship with 4DX movie theaters. Parker, Fred, and Allan kick things off with redhead confusion, Greek jokes, Grease references, white-people clapping, and a movie review that quickly becomes less about The Odyssey and more about surviving modern cinema. Odicius breaks down a “mid” new Odyssey movie starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Elliot Page, but the real story is the 4DX experience: moving seats, face mist, wind blasts, fake arrows, rough seas, and enough theater violence to make a five-out-of-ten movie feel like a full-body event. Then it's time for the guys to test their knowledge of all things! It's fat guy news and we're talking about our old buddy diarrhea lettuce, and we finally meet the guy.

Dr. Phil Narini spent decades hunting, fishing, and eating meat-centric Italian home cooking before a single lecture on fish and mercury changed his and his wife's eating habits overnight — no cravings, no willpower. Fifteen years later, he's a reconstructive plastic surgeon who insists he's not a nutrition expert (and thinks you should be suspicious of anyone who claims to be), co-founder of a whole-food plant-based café built on the idea that healthy food has to taste good first, and an outspoken advocate for scientific skepticism over Instagram influencers. We get into the "trifecta" most doctors won't connect to diet, why medical school teaches close to zero nutrition, what a trip to Sardinia's Blue Zone actually taught him about longevity, and why he'd rather trust someone with fifty years of grey hair than a six-pack and a supplement code.

Evidence-based nutrition doesn't always win the attention economy...but it's what leads to lasting health. In this episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio, Ben and Coach Sawyer sit down with Mic the Vegan to discuss his journey from skeptical omnivore to one of the most trusted science communicators in the vegan space. Mike shares how he built his platform by prioritizing research over sensationalism, the challenges of combating nutrition misinformation online, and why balanced, evidence-driven messaging matters more than ever.The conversation explores why people are drawn to nutrition trends, how social media rewards controversy over nuance, and the importance of interpreting scientific research correctly instead of relying on isolated mechanisms or clickbait headlines. They also dive into common misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, saturated fat, whole foods, superfoods, and vegan diets, while discussing how genetics, lifestyle, and overall dietary patterns all contribute to long-term health.Along the way, the group discusses athletic performance on a vegan diet, practical strategies for building sustainable eating habits, why enjoyable movement matters, and how everyday vegans can become positive ambassadors for the lifestyle. Whether you're interested in improving your health, understanding nutrition research, or simply becoming a more informed consumer of health information online, this episode is packed with thoughtful discussion and practical takeaways.

Why should be care about bees? Why should we avoid honey and beeswax? Vegans want to eliminate as much harm, exploitation, and killing as possible. When animals are farmed for profit, there is always compromise of their wellbeing, and bees farmed for their honey and beeswax are no exception. Ethical veganism is about getting justice over the species barrier, and in this case it's concern for the amazing, beautiful bee.In this short episode, our host Hope Bohanec offers her knowledge about honey bees. We learn about their fascinating and complex lives, details of honey farming practices, and the truth about how our interference and manipulation of bees is hurting them and the entire planet.
The series completes itself with a look at the grandaddy of them all, Shaun Monson's 'Earthlings'. Although food has been the main focus of the series, this documentary also looks at the use of animals as pets (even that isn't always pretty), for clothes, for entertainment and finally for scientific experiments. Shaun's 2015 sequel 'Unity' is in the show notes below. Antony also mentions a couple of Australian documentaries that are even harder to watch than 'Earthlings' (if that's even possible), and offers some final statements and some attempt at a conclusion. General series notes We all know it's happening. We all know it's horrific but try to tell ourselves it's not that bad and if we just buy free-range eggs we can square it with our conscience and sleep peacefully. However, research and just a small sample of the copious amounts of truly heartbreaking video footage available makes it clear that it is far, far worse than we think (note- the information in this podcast series is actually quite sanitised compared to other testimonies and footage out there). Who is to blame? The consumer or the industry? It seems to be a chicken-and-egg situation that could be improved greatly by the average consumer deciding to invest time in discovering what is behind some of the shameful (and shameless) propaganda techniques employed by the food industry. As should be clear in the series, the animals are the biggest victims but not the only ones, which is obvious when you research the state of meat, eggs and dairy that is routinely passed as 'safe to consume'. To gain a better industry of how and why this nasty business is allowed to happen, a recommended companion piece is the excellent documentary 'The Corporation' and indeed the previous LALO episode on it (see show notes for both). We really owe it to ourselves and the animals who largely live miserable, hellish lives before suffering painful and brutal deaths, to make the effort in the ultimate information age to inform ourselves of the real situation. Unfettered capitalism cannot be allowed to run riot without resistance. Do I recommend watching the documentaries and other video footage available? I'm going to say yes but please proceed with caution and I would actively discourage viewing them if you feel in a vulnerable or depressive state because they have the power to make you question whether true humanity exists and how we can possibly behave in this kind of way to innocent, defenceless beings (once again, I would also include some humans in this). As the saying goes, 'once you've seen it, you can't unsee it', and as Ed Winters aka Earthling Ed says at the end of 'Land of Hope And Glory', 'you can never again say you didn't know'.

What would it look like to build your own Personal Curriculum around veganism, animal advocacy, and our relationships with other animals?This week, Michele introduces a summer reading series centered around her Personal Curriculum for the summer of 2026 and invites the listeners to join her.Shared references can help us have better conversations — more precise, more thoughtful, and more useful — especially in a world where we are often working from different facts, different frameworks, and different emotional starting points.Documentaries like Cowspiracy, Earthlings, The Game Changers, and Dominion have helped bring countless people into the vegan and plant-based conversation. But books offer something different: the chance to slow down, build an argument, question assumptions, take notes, push back, and develop a more durable intellectual framework.Deep reading can help us become harder to fool, better able to name what we are seeing, and more equipped to understand the language used around food, animals, “humane” labels, sustainability, health, and ethics. Maybe reading is an important form of activism. What books have shaped YOUR thinking? What belongs in a shared set of references for vegan and animal advocacy conversations? What perspectives are missing from the usual lists? What have you read recently that challenged you, changed you, frustrated you, or helped you think more clearly?Books Michele is considering for her personal curriculum:Animal Liberation by Peter SingerWhy We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows by Melanie JoyEating Animals by Jonathan Safran FoerThe Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. AdamsDominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew ScullySome We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat by Hal HerzogMichele wants to hear from you:What books belong in this conversation? Particularly those from a non-white, indigenous or colonialized perspective.Which books shaped your vegan, vegetarian, plant-based, or animal advocacy practice?Which arguments have helped you?

Can a heavy metal musician help transform global food systems? In this inspiring conversation, Darin sits down with internationally acclaimed bassist Tanya O'Callaghan to explore the unlikely intersection of rock and roll, activism, compassion, and human connection. Best known for touring with artists including Whitesnake, Bruce Dickinson, Dee Snider, and Steven Adler, Tanya reveals that long before she ever picked up a bass guitar, she was fighting for animal rights and questioning the systems that shape our world. Together they discuss how curiosity breaks down cultural barriers, why meaningful change begins with conversations instead of confrontation, and how leading by example can inspire transformation in the most unexpected places—from helping a Vietnam veteran reclaim his health through plant-forward eating to partnering with Maasai communities in Kenya to improve access to clean water and sustainable agriculture. This episode is ultimately about integrity: living in alignment with your values, remaining open to learning from others, and remembering that changing your plate can become one of the simplest ways to change the world. What You'll Learn How Tanya built a career touring with legendary rock musicians Why activism became her life's purpose before music The childhood experience that led her to become vegan How curiosity creates connection across vastly different cultures Why compassion is more effective than confrontation Tanya's work with Maasai communities in Kenya The importance of sustainable agriculture and clean water The inspiring story of Bob, a Vietnam veteran whose life changed through friendship and food Why community begins with your neighbors How travel expands empathy and challenges assumptions Why whole-food, plant-forward eating benefits people, animals, and the planet How living with integrity creates ripple effects far beyond yourself Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:35 – Sponsor: Alkemis Paint 00:03:26 – Introducing Tanya O'Callaghan 00:04:31 – Twenty years touring with rock legends 00:07:21 – Balancing music with lifelong activism 00:08:34 – Building a career by saying "yes" 00:10:47 – Growing up in rural Ireland 00:13:05 – Challenging the education system and questioning authority 00:15:28 – Why activism begins with curiosity 00:17:02 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:18:48 – The childhood moment that changed Tanya's life forever 00:21:03 – Becoming a lifelong animal rights advocate 00:23:08 – Compassion, food systems, and cognitive dissonance 00:26:09 – Why kindness—not judgment—creates change 00:31:19 – Meeting a Maasai leader and building an unexpected friendship 00:34:15 – Bringing clean water and sustainable agriculture to Kenya 00:36:32 – Learning from indigenous wisdom and traditional food systems 00:40:20 – Why whole-food, plant-forward eating doesn't have to be complicated 00:43:48 – Open-mindedness as the foundation for meaningful collaboration 00:47:08 – Why curiosity matters more than being right 00:50:11 – Bob: the Vietnam veteran who became family 00:53:24 – Showing up for your neighbors during unimaginable tragedy 00:57:10 – Food as a bridge for healing and friendship 01:00:10 – Community begins with ordinary acts of kindness 01:03:08 – Why labels divide and stories unite 01:05:15 – Living in alignment with your values 01:08:08 – The courage to question systems 01:10:48 – Finding purpose through resistance 01:11:45 – Staying true to the little girl who never stopped fighting 01:13:15 – Final reflections: changing plates can change the world Thank You to Our Sponsors Shakeology: Get 15% off with code DARINO1BODI at Shakeology.com.

Whether you're connecting with a neighbor, collaborating with indigenous communities halfway across the world, or simply making more conscious choices about the food on your plate, kindness and curiosity create possibilities that judgment never can. Living with integrity doesn't require perfection; it requires consistently aligning your actions with your values. When enough people make those small daily choices, changing your plate truly can help change the world."

Brian introduces Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America, which grew from efforts to label GMOs into a national nonprofit focused on reducing pesticide and toxin exposure through education and extensive testing that has found glyphosate in items including tap water, urine, breast milk, foods, and other products. Honeycutt describes launching a legislative arm (Moms Across America Movement/"Yes Ma'am") to promote health-focused policy, discusses MAHA-era progress and perceived corporate pushback, and urges contacting representatives via calls, email, visits, and X. She shares outcomes from switching to organic, including a story of a child's mental health improving, and recounts her son's strict organic veganism, subsequent nutrient/toxin findings (including thallium, mycotoxins, DDT), and suicide, informing proposed newborn genetic disclosure and EPA reforms. The conversation also covers EMFs, vaccine safety, microplastics, and major concerns about data centers' noise, energy, and water impacts.

This week on Vedge Your Best podcast, we revisit the Save Our Bacon Act and the 2026 US Farm Bill, and ask what backlash against veganism, animal welfare, and plant-based change actually mean? There's still time to communicate with the Senate here.It can feel discouraging when vegan, plant-based, and animal advocates are trolled online or dismissed as extreme. But what if some of that backlash is also a sign that compassionate food movements are becoming visible enough to challenge powerful systems?We explore how social change happens, why we may not need everyone to agree all at once, and what we can learn from research on active participation, coalition-building, and visible support. Drawing on Erica Chenoweth's work on nonviolent movements and the “3.5% idea,” we see why visibility matters, why purity debates can shrink movements, and how widening the on-ramp can help more people take meaningful action.You'll hear about:• How visible participation helps others feel less alone• Why backlash can be a signal that a movement is being noticed• What vegan and animal advocacy can learn from the anti-smoking movement• Why coalitions matter, even when people do not agree on every tactic• How schools, restaurants, hospitals, and laws can build better “infrastructure” for compassionate choices• Why imperfect participation can still move us forward• Practical ways to show up more visibly without burning outMaybe we don't need everyone to do everything. We need more people doing something, more visibly, together, over time.Subscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

By 2020, veganism wasn't a fringe choice. It was mainstream. A few years later, the momentum faded. So what happened? I sit down with nutrition scientist Simon Hill for an honest autopsy – the overhyped meat alternatives, the broken trust around health claims, the sanctimony that turned people off, and how eating plants got tangled up with politics and masculinity. I cop to my own part in it too. No dogma. No purity tests. Just a reckoning, and a saner way forward. Enjoy.
