Rune-Christoffer is an impressive person. In addition to being almost 10ft tall, he led the Vegetarian Society of Denmark's efforts in getting the Danish government to invest over 110 million Euros in plant-based foods and develop an Action Plan to boost plant-based foods in the country. Given this is one of the most significant policy wins the animal advocacy and plant-based movement has seen in recent years, we chat about how they built the political will to achieve this. We speak about the importance of building coalitions, developing relationships with politicians, and even engaging with the animal agriculture industry. We also speak about their plans to scale this work in the EU so stick around to the end if you want some optimistic and ambitious next steps.Resources: Denmark's Action Plan for Plant-Based FoodsStrategy of the Plant-Based Food GrantPlant-Based R&D strategy made in collaboration with farmersIshmael – Daniel QuinnMeat: A Natural Symbol – Nick Fiddes Meat: A Benign Extravaganza – Simon FairlieIn Defense of Food – Michael Pollan00:00:00:00 | Intro00:02:26:23 | A recent mistake others can learn from00:04:30:12 | Action Plan for Plant-based Foods00:08:20:01 | The Plant-Based Food Grant00:17:22:12 | Key things that helped on the way to success00:24:59:13 | Whole-Food and Plant-Based diet00:28:35:17 | Building relationships00:37:06:14 | Stance of the Meat industry00:41:40:18 | Organic Denmark00:46:57:16 | Collaboration with other organisations00:51:54:04 | Tactical tips00:58:31:03 | Plan for expanding through EU01:10:45:20 | Working with more challenging countries01:17:49:12 | Closing questionsIf you enjoy the show, please leave a rating and review us - we would really appreciate it!

In Denemarken is iets bijzonders aan de hand. In het land van Bacon en Butter heeft de politiek een serieus actieplan richting plantaardige productie en consumptie gepresenteerd. Inclusief een budget van bijna 200 miljoen euro. Daar kunnen wij wel wat van leren. In deze uitzending: Rune-Christoffer Dragsdahl. Hij leidt de Vegetarian Society of Denmark, en hij was de drijvende kracht achter dit plan. We krijgen een lesje strategische beleidsbeïnvloeding. Hoe krijg je de brede groene achterban op één lijn en hoe win je zelfs de rechtse politici voor dit doel? Meer info:Het Deense Nationale Actieplan voor Plantaardige voeding:https://fvm.dk/fileadmin/user_upload/Dokumentation/Danish-Action-Plan-for-Plant-based-Foods.pdfHet fonds ter stimulering van plantaardige voedselproducenten:https://plantefonden.lbst.dk/the-plant-based-food-grantDe Deense vegetarische vereniging:https://vegetarisk.dk/english/Credits:Presentatie: Esther Molenwijk, Stichting The Food RevolutionHelp ons het plantaardige nieuws te verspreiden: deel deze podcast.

Food companies may be misleading consumers into believing products are vegetarian.   The Vegetarian Society's urging consumers to look for vegetarian approved and vegan certified trademarks.  Marketing manager Ina Babic told Mike Hosking that this could be a case of greenwashing.   She says they've been seeing a lot of products on the market claiming to be plant-based, but there's no law at the moment ensuring those claims are actually true.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wir springen in dieser Folge in die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, und sehen uns die Etablierung des modernen Vegetarismus an. Federführend werden hier vor allem religiöse Organisationen sein, im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts wird der Vegetarismus aber bald Teil diverser sozialer, feministischer und politischer Strömungen. Wir sprechen darüber, wie der Vegetarismus damit innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte von einer meist lokalen Eigenart zu einem in der Gesellschaft verankerten Lebensstil wurde. //Literatur Colin Spencer.

Vegetarianism, in Western cultures at least, is on the rise. More people are choosing not to eat meat, although globally it is a much more opaque picture. There is no doubt that in the West, adopting a vegetarian diet has been one of the top trends for the food industry to consider in recent years. But the history of vegetarianism is anything but recent. It goes all the way back to new ideas in ancient Greece, through persecution during the early Christian period, two world wars, right up to the present day. So buckle up for a story with more twists than a spiralised courgette as we delve into the history of vegetarianism. Guest: Richard McIlwain, Chief Executive, The Vegetarian Society of the UK

Since it's National Vegetarian Week, we talked with the Chief Executive of The Vegetarian Society, Richard McIlwain about how easy it is to make the change for a healthier you. 

Denmark is a key player in the global food system, from meat and dairy exports to beer production, the label “Made in Denmark” means a lot. And now, the country is turning much of its attention to plant-based in a major way.  Over the last couple of years, the Danish government has set aside well over £1bn to support the production of plant-based food and a ‘green transformation' of the agriculture sector. With plans to halve the country's greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by 2030, the investment will provide support to businesses, new product development, education and research as they all make their moves towards plant-based. It is the largest ever investment in plant-based food throughout the European Union. So, politically, how have they got to this stage? What is the money likely to be spent on? And what is on the horizon for plant-based food in Denmark? Guest: Rune-Christoffer Dragsdahl, Secretary-General, the Vegetarian Society of Denmark

This week, Sophie Lawrence, Stewardship and Engagement Lead at Rathbone Greenbank Investments is our guest presenter. She was one of the guests who spoke at The Food Foundation's Investor Summit, Putting Money on the Menu, which was the first of its kind to explore how the investment community can transform the UK food system.Following the UN Food Systems Summit and the release of the National Food Strategy in 2021, an Investor Coalition on Food Policy was created, initially set up by Rathbone Greenbank, with support from Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation and the Food Foundation. The Coalition, which now represents over 20 investors with over £6 trillion in assets under management is focused on the UK to begin with and exists to harness the power of the investment community to engage with policymakers on food policy. Sophie finds out what investors could mean to the future of the food system, with Tim Benton from the Environment and Society Programme at Chatham House, Jessica Attard from ShareAction, Rune-Christoffer Dragsdahl, Secretary-General at the Vegetarian Society of Denmark and Director of Policy Initiatives at the International Vegetarian Union, Morten Fenger of Organic Plant Protein in Denmark and Stuart Lendrum, head of product and process at Iceland.

Following a vegan diet can be difficult at first. Usually, many beginner vegans struggle to create a meal plan that meets all their nutritional needs. The good news is that it's possible to go vegan easily and healthfully, you just need to learn a few things first. That's why we've created a complete vegan diet guide for beginners! In this guide, you'll find everything you need to know about this plant-based diet, from the benefits of being vegan to the potential negative side effects of veganism. But don't worry, we'll also teach you how to be a healthy vegan and reduce these risks! Not sure what you should include or avoid in your vegan diet? Keep reading to find a full vegan food list for beginners and a few vegan meal ideas. What is a Vegan Diet? According to the Vegan Society, a vegan diet is a plant-based plan that excludes all products derived wholly or partly from animals. While vegetarians choose not to eat animals, vegans go one step further and avoid eating eggs, dairy, and honey as well. But that's not all, they even avoid many other animal-based ingredients, like carmine, gelatine, and casein.For that reason, those who follow a vegan diet must carefully check food labels to avoid animal-derived ingredients. That's why this plant-based diet can be so difficult to follow for beginners, although it's not impossible. You're probably thinking that eating a vegan diet may be limiting. Yet, vegans can eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, and many other foods mentioned below. Plus, there are many plant-based alternatives nowadays. And you could also try some tasty, healthy vegan recipes, like the ones you'll find later in this article! Veganism for Beginners: Other Aspects You Should Know Besides following a plant-based diet, many beginner vegans decide to avoid all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty in all aspects of their lives as well, such as the use of animals for entertainment, clothing, product testing, or any other purpose. This is a philosophy and way of living known as “veganism”. Some people follow a vegan diet to get all the health benefits of veganism, while many others go vegan for ethical, religious, or environmental reasons. What Is The Differences Between Vegan and Vegetarian Diets? Some of them prefer to have a plant-based diet or vegetarian diet, while others opt for a vegan diet to completely remove these products from their diet. But what are the differences between these terms? Although they might sound similar, the truth is that there are subtle differences between plant-based, vegetarian, and vegan diets. What is a Vegetarian Diet? According to the Vegetarian Society, a vegetarian diet doesn't include products or by-products of animal slaughter, like meat, poultry, insects, rennet, gelatine, fish, shellfish, and stock or fat from animals. So, what do vegetarians eat? A vegetarian diet includes a range of fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, grains, and pulses. But that's not all. Although vegetarians remove some animal foods from their diet, they can still eat eggs, honey, and dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt. For that reason, people who eat a vegetarian diet are also known as “lacto-ovo-vegetarians”. That said, there are different types of vegetarian diets: For example, some people (lacto-vegetarians) include dairy products but not eggs in their vegetarian diet. On the other hand, “ovo-vegetarians” eat eggs but remove dairy products from their diet. What is a Plant-based Diet? As the name suggests, a plant-based diet is a type of diet plan that either entirely or mostly consists of plant foods, like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, plant-based oils, nuts, and seeds. The interesting part about this way of eating is that it's not restrictive. Usually, people who stick to a plant-based diet can still choose to eat meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy foods, and other animal products in small portions and less often. They're also known as “flexitarians” or “semi-vegetarians”. In short, ...

Vegetarians are being ‘left behind' by restaurants who are dropping meat free options like omlettes and quiche for vegan options that exclude cheese, butter and eggs. The UK's Vegetarian Society say they are receiving complaints that traditional vegetarian options are being replaced by vegan dishes. With diners increasingly facing just two choices: meat or full vegan Andrea was joined by vegetarian and vegan callers who were in touch with the show to discuss if vegetarians have become increasingly forgotten.   Listen and subscribe to Lunchtime Live on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.      Download, listen and subscribe on the Newstalk App.     You can also listen to Newstalk live on newstalk.com or on Alexa, by adding the Newstalk skill and asking: 'Alexa, play Newstalk'.

Guests: Brenda Morris, Stephan Kerby, and Justin Manning Description: Join panellists Brenda Morris of Humane Investing, LLC, Stephan Kerby of KMF Advisors and WildHeart Nutrition, and Justin Manning, Vegan Financial Advisor for a discussion all about vegan investing. Whether you're brand new to investing or looking to make changes to your portfolio that will be good for your future, the animals, and the planet, you won't want to miss this session. Each panelist will bring their unique perspective and discuss the challenges, potential strategies, and timeline for the vegan investor. Brenda Morris https://humaneinvesting.com/ https://veganfinancialprofessionals.godaddysites.com/ Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brenda-a-morris https://www.facebook.com/HumaneInvesting Bio: As more and more vegans look for better ways to invest for the future, the momentum to invest humanely continues to grow. We have a tremendous opportunity to make a difference by demanding accountability from the companies in which we invest. Since most of us need to invest to make sure our own finances are sound, we encourage you to do so while making a difference---for animals, people, and the planet---at the same time. I have been doing animal activism and advocacy for two decades. I encourage everyone to consider going vegan and have been doing outreach with the Vegetarian Society of Richmond since the 1990s. I founded my financial planning practice to encourage fellow vegans to use their investments to influence companies in a positive manner with respect to animals and have been determined to raise the bar for funds that are purportedly “sustainable” and “ethical,” as I strongly believe that they should consider animal rights and animal welfare in their investment process. Stephan Kerby KMF Advisors and WildHeart Nutrition www.youarethechange.net Social: www.facebook.com/WildHeartPlants/ www.facebook.com/youarethechangenow/ www.instagram.com/wildheart_nutrition/ www.wildheartplants.com Bio: Stephan Kerby entered the profession of financial advising in 2000 after a wide range of life experiences created a desire to learn more about personal finance. As he worked and traveled, Stephan contemplated how to manage his family's finances and ensure that his investments were aligned with his ethical principles and love of animals. This process uncovered a passion for educating himself and others on the topics of standard investments, socially responsible investing (SRI), and financial planning. Because of this passion he authored a book titled : “You are the Change. A beginners guide to social responsible investing.” He has spoken in many parts of the country, including Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Ohio. Stephan became the first advisor in the United States to earn the new Chartered SRI Counselor (CSRIC) designation through the College for Financial Planning. Stephan is also the Co-Owner of Wildheart Nutrition that is a vegan supplement company with the goal to end single use plastics. All the packaging and material is made with 100% compostable plant material. This cutting edge technology will reshape the supplement industry while substantially reducing the use of plastics. He and his wife Amber enjoy hiking with their children and dogs, foraging, and plant-based cooking.

Veganism, Vegetarianism and Ethics (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 4/9/20 • Let NO ONE judge you for your choice to or not to be vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian (fish only) etc. It's a personal choice derived for various reasons (health, ethics, environmentalism and religion/spiritual) • Main difference between veganism and vegetarianism: According to the Vegetarian Society, a vegetarian is someone who does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or by-products of animal slaughter. Vegetarian diets contain various levels of fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, nuts and seeds. The inclusion of dairy and eggs depends on the type of diet you follow. The most common types of vegetarians include: Lacto-ovo vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid all animal flesh, but do consume dairy and egg products. Lacto vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid animal flesh and eggs, but do consume dairy products. Ovo vegetarians: Vegetarians who avoid all animal products except eggs. Vegans: Vegetarians who avoid all animal and animal-derived products. Those who do not eat meat or poultry but do consume fish are considered pescatarians, whereas part-time vegetarians are often referred to as flexitarians. Although sometimes considered vegetarians, pescatarians and flexitarians do eat animal flesh. Therefore, they do not technically fall under the definition of vegetarianism. Bottom Line: Vegetarian diets exclude meat, poultry, game, fish and shellfish. Certain types of vegetarians also exclude eggs, dairy or other animal by-products. • An insufficient intake of nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and vitamins D and B12 can negatively impact various aspects of health, including mental and physical health • A vegan diet may be better than a vegetarian diet for controlling weight and reducing the risk of certain diseases. However, if not well planned, a vegan diet is also more likely to cause nutrient deficiencies. • No matter what type of diet you adhere to be mindful and respectful of others diets and non-judgemental of the choices you or others make for themselves while still respectfully voicing your opinion or sharing your perspectives, education or information. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aaronhill/support

Ruth Heidrich, PhD is a young 83 year-old athlete who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at the age of 47. Ruth had been a runner well over a decade, ate what she thought was a healthy diet when the devastating diagnosis came. Ruth shares how with Dr. John McDougall’s help, she refused chemotherapy, radiation, and medical intervention and instead turned to food as her medicine. She completely went to a whole food plant based diet over night. The results of the dietary change were so powerful that, not only did she eradicate the cancer, she decided to add biking and swimming to her running to become a triathlete. Exactly two years later, she crossed the finish line of the Kona Ironman Triathlon, becoming the first vegan to do the Ironman. Ruth went on to do the Ironman 5 more times and is the winner of more than 900 trophies, 8 Gold Medals in the U.S.Senior Olympics, and 67 marathons including Boston, New York, & Moscow. She has also been named One of the Ten Fittest Women in North America. She is also the author of A Race for Life, Senior Fitness, The CHEF Cook/Rawbook, Lifelong Running: How to Overcome the 11 Myths of Running & Live a Healthier Life, and her latest book, Cure, Reverse & Prevent ED: Ten ways to Total Sexual Fitness. Learn more about Ruth at http://ruthheidrich.com. This was such a delightful and touching interview and I can't wait to meet Ruth this fall when I speak at the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii. You will find this conversation an inspiration regardless of your age. Her spirit and tenacity are contagious and I was blessed to speak to her. Thank you as always for listening and we hope you will join our amazing community at http://HealthyHumanRevolution.com where you will find incredible resources to help you start and sustain a whole food plant based diet, create healthy habits and much more!

The subject matter, of experimenting on animals that have no voice, gives cause to wonder what we are doing as a so-called civilisation. Where does mindfulness and a duty of care come into it? But more so - compassion? Especially here in NZ where most New Zealanders have a cat or dog or a pet of some kind. But, it's a harsh reality when animals are treated with a certain disdain when money power and profits are concerned. Just look into the eye of that forlorn guinea pig in this graphic. Tara is the CEO of the New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society (NZAVS) and having a degree in Zoology wants to do what she can to educate the public so as the animal kingdom is not exploited by both pain and money.     On average over 300,000 animals are used in vivisection in New Zealand each year. These experiments are performed in universities, schools, polytechnics, commercial laboratories, government departments and ministries. The species used include hamsters, mice, rats, guinea-pigs, sheep, cattle, goats, birds, fish, alpaca, buffalo, cats, deer, dogs, donkeys, horses, pigs, and more. Farm animals are experimented on to make them grow faster, have more babies, use their food more efficiently, or to change the quality of their milk. Plus, there are cruel genetic modification and cloning experiments going on that we the public have really no idea what’s happening. From her studies of animals she says it is impossible to use one complex system to predict the outcomes of another complex system. Every animal species is different, That her strong passion for valid science and her obvious strong commitment for animal rights - combined together has pushed her into her current role, where she has in a little over 4 years embedded her ideals into NZAVS.org.nz Tara feels she wants to continue what Bet Everell did and work towards ending animal experiments in NZ. Betty Overell - was the person to really bring this issue to the public consciousness across New Zealand. When in 1989 she led a march to Parliament with a further Petition, signed by 100,640 New Zealanders demanding the abolition of all experiments on animals after obtaining affidavits from doctors all over the world who claim vivisection is medically and scientifically invalid. Bette Overell is recognised internationally for her work in the new abolitionist movement. http://www.whale.to/a/overell_b.html So how is NZ progressing with regard to animal welfare? A Brief History of Animal Welfare that influenced NZ Henry Stephens Salt  20 Sept 1851 – 19 April 1939 (born in India, to British parents) who when in England, formed the Humanitarian League in 1891. Its aims were to enforce the principle that it is iniquitous to inflict avoidable suffering on any sentient being. Its objectives included the banning of vivisection as well as hunting as a sport. It was Salt who first introduced Mohandas Gandhi to the influential works of Henry David Thoreau, and influenced Gandhi's study of vegetarianism. His views were reported widely, including in New Zealand. There was a compassionate, philosophical article in the NZ Herald on the 11th June 1890 by Jon Abbott of St Georges Bay Road, Parnell  Auckland calling for a halt to the cruelty of Vivisection - yet his was truly a voice in the wilderness in those days. New Zealand Organisations Once it became clear that animal experiments were occurring in New Zealand at medical schools and agricultural research stations, anti-vivisectionists began to organise. The first anti-vivisection society had been set up in Auckland by 1930, and branches of the BUAV British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection were established in other centres by the 1940s. In 1944 the Council of Combined Animal Welfare Organisations (CAWO) was formed. This was a coalition of Theosophists, anti-vivisection leagues and the newly established Vegetarian Society, led by Theosophist Geoffrey Hodson. In its advocacy of animal welfare measures CAWO had much in common with the SPCA, but it had a no-compromise stance on vivisection. In New Zealand there was some interest in the cause, and vivisection was occasionally debated. A few groups including feminist organisations and many Theosophical Society members  condemned it, but the SPCA members had a range of views from total opposition to reluctant acceptance. Gains and Losses CAWO was successful in campaigning for regulations governing humane slaughter, and the outlawing of the sports of hare coursing and captive pigeon shooting. However, its anti-vivisection aspirations were thwarted by the Animals Protection Act 1960 which, although it introduced many reforms, made animal experiments legal. This Interview Covers Where we are today in 2018 Vivisection Is Still Happening! Today there are now many different models for learning about dissections without going out and getting a lab rat to dissect and cut up. That there are sophisticated as well as simple anatomical models here today and Tara says that dissections could have been halted yesterday. Massey University Veterinary Department is seen as very progressive and up there as leaders - but Tara cautions by saying Massey in other areas still uses some highly invasive purposes, never-the-less. But the Veterinary Clinical Training Room for vets has high quality mannequins of all different species to use. Even giant horse mannequins that can mimic certain disorders so that students can pick up and learn from. They have fake dogs (robots) that mimic certain heart conditions that students can listen for also. But there is not yet enough of this across NZ. Testing Drugs On Animals In this interview we learn that using animal studies, like testing drugs on them does not give in any way a true measure that these said drugs will have a positive effect on a human. This is a proven fact. Animals and humans are vastly different and cannot be used for predicting human outcomes. There are study after studies proving that experimenting on animals have no relationship to how these drugs will react on humans. In 2006, the TGN1412 drug that was used, created the opposite effect in humans as it did in animals - and people were left with organ damage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theralizumab Thalidomide drugs were tested on animals with no side effects but caused tragic results in humans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide#Birth_defects_crisis Other incidents of humans illness resulting from drugs that have been ‘successfully’ tested on animals have been discretely silenced. There have been many adverse side effects to people, but these results are gagged by confidentiality clauses where big Pharma - closes the whole subject down. This in itself is criminal where vast amounts of money is used to quash any negative results silencing the whole concern - to not even cause a ripple throughout society. Otago University comes in for some bad vibes as not being conscious of animal rights or mindfulness - and are thus seen as dragging the chain in this regard. This is a result of blacking out all the windows of the animal lab on the 5th floor of the Hercus building in Dunedin, where on the top floor the animals are kept. Why blackout windows? - Animals need as much natural light as possible too. Often, activists have to use the Official Information Act to find out what is actually happening Tara says that it’s very difficult to get information especially as to what private companies are doing behind closed doors. Other Topics Covered: Support for stopping vivisection continues from within NZ with concerned public helping over long time periods, going back to the 1970’s and 80s. As this is seen as an ongoing important issue that many people contribute to - for their whole life. Cosmetics testing on animals - Is now banned in NZ    But not the ban on importation of cosmetics that have been tested on animals Plus NZ has banned psychoactive substances being used on animals  - There was a huge rally all over NZ along with HUHA support: https://huha.org.nz/ There has been a  Ban on the - Draize test - https://www.neavs.org/research/what-is-the-draize-test  - a cruel test done normally in rabbits where chemicals are poured into their open eyes and on the skin of rabbits - listen There has been a special children’s book written - called “The 6 Foot Rats" - presently in process to being sent to every school in NZ. https://www.nzavs.org.nz/the-six-foot-rats It’s an important and powerful educational tool disguised as a fun and colourful children's book, by local artist Rebecca Gibbs. Also mentioned in the interview - Anita Roddick - founder of the Body Shop. The Body Shop was the first global beauty brand to fight against animal testing in cosmetics and was the first company to be certified with the Leaping Bunny logo in 1997. China comes up as not focussing on animal experiments and cosmetics been sold into China. So China needs to be nudged into eliminating all types of experiments on animals. NZ.Lush.com - comes in for a warm ‘shout out’ as it does not sell its products into China. Tara states that they are very good people who donate to animal groups that work towards freeing up animals from experimentation. That today 100 million animals in the USA alone are being used in experiments   Note that corporations who say they do not experiment on animals UNLESS required by law - means that they sell into China - that they are not walking their talk. Dr Ray Greek is a global champion for the cause.  http://animalvoices.org/2017/07/drraygreek/ Why Animal Testing is Ineffective for Preventing and Curing Human Diseases. The New Biomed 21 group are a more humane health organisation who bring scientists and institutions from around the world to work towards more benevolent ways of researching and testing products for human health. http://biomed21.org/about-us/non-animal-models-research-human-respiratory-tract-disease/ Ricky Gervais - Comedian and well known world personality  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ri Is one of the more stronger advocates on the world stage who speaks out on behalf of animals. New Zealand Politics Mojo Mathers - Green  - initiated the ban on animal testing for cosmetics in NZ Gareth Hughes - Green  - is prepared to speak up on this issue too Jo Luxton - Labour -  in the past rescued an ex lab rat The DARK SIDE Unwanted Chickens are killed by a conveyor belt - especially if males and don’t lay eggs. https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/chickens/7645698 Chooks still in cages today - a horror story laying eggs for unconscious buyers - the chickens are bred and designed to be trapped in their own bodies and then in tiny, tiny cages to live and lay eggs as part of one large computerised, factory, industrial system. With no sunlight, rain or wind, or soil beneath their feet Cows in NZ are expedient too. Whereas 60 years ago a cow would live to be 13 to 14 years of age - today they are basically exhausted at 4 and a half years old and so are sent to the freezing works. However, they are being experimented on too.  - listen Vegan and Vegetarian choices - Tara is a vegan (and I myself, have not been a red meat eater or eaten poultry for 41 years.) Also mentioned is Geoffrey Hodson who spent his last years living in NZ, giving lectures and sharing his knowledge. Geoffrey Hodson. Was a clairvoyant who could see the dark 'thought forms’ above all freezing works or abattoirs across NZ -  he realised clearly that animals had a soul or group consciousness. As a Theosophist in those days - he understood that animals were sentient beings and needed to be treated with respect. He was one of the few people on earth at the time who could see through the veils of the world into different, higher realms. http://www.geoffreyhodson.com/Assessment-&-Conclusion-2.html A very thought provoking interview from a strong and articulate advocate that needs to be shared across greater NZ and beyond. https://www.nzavs.org.nz

This season, we will be digging into topics related to nutrition; but first, we’re backing up a bit. Where did vegetarianism come from? Has it changed over time? Vegetarianism often gets labeled as a recent dietary trend -- but it actually spans back over 5,000 years. The origins of vegetarianism and interest in the practice are broader than you might think, ranging from religion, to rebellion, to health concerns. In this episode, we delve into the history of vegetarianism and discuss common themes across time. Thanks so much for listening so far.

This week Robbie and Evy explore the myriad reasons why eggs are not vegan, and how the commercial egg industry has distorted the natural cycle of egg-laying hens to alarming and brutal proportions. We interview the bold and awe-inspiring founder and director of Viva!, Juliet Gellatley (4.05 mins) who share insights and stories from her work doing undercover investigations inside factory farm scale hen houses. We also address the heavily debated issue of backyard hens and whether it is ethical to consume eggs from free hens, and discuss solutions for how to substitute eggs in baking. Also on this episode… Juliet shares her story, from becoming vegan at 13 to campaigning for The Vegetarian Society to founding Viva!. Juliet describes the typical life of an egg laying hen in the UK. How factory farms selectively breed hens to be more productive. Why commercially available eggs are not even suitable for vegetarians. ‘No bird is meant to lay 300 eggs a year, she's meant to lay 20.' ‘This whole industry is based on distorting motherhood, a deliberate twisting of motherhood.' What's the difference between ‘enriched cages' and free-range egg farms. ‘What amazes me is that [animals] actually have the capacity to forgive.' Do hens need to lay eggs and what do free hens do with their eggs? Backyard hens: the oft debated topic of whether or not to eat the eggs of free hens. The clever contraceptive methods of hens and the feminist hen soap opera that would ensue. How old do hens live in the wild vs in factory farms? The nutritional properties of eggs: are they a healthy source of protein and fats, as many believe? Some substitutes for eggs in baking! Links: Check out Viva!'s website.

Check your feeds next week for a discussion on defining vegetarianism. For the purposes of this episode, we define “vegetarian” based on the Vegetarian Society’s definition (but we are definitely open to others!) “A vegetarian does not eat foods that consist of, or have been produced with the aid of products consisting of or created from, any part of the body of a living or dead animal. This includes meat, poultry, fish, shellfish*, insects, by-products of slaughter** or any food made with processing aids created from these.” Read more here: https://www.vegsoc.org/page.aspx?pid=508 Curious about what candy’s you can eat?

In the early 1990’s, at the age of 55,  Sukie, a Mexican born woman living in Texas and married to a hunter, made a life-changing choice to go vegan! She then went on to start the first animal advocacy group in El Paso along with The Vegetarian Society of El Paso. The animal advocacy group Sukie started had their first meeting in her home in September 1992. There were eleven attendees, plus two

In this episode I interview Tracye McQuirter, a public health nutritionist and plant-based educator in Washington DC. Tracye is a real trailblazer.

Our 55th podcast is a report from the Green Festival held in Washington, D.C. earlier this month. We take an audio stroll through the exhibit hall and stop to chat with Fran from Compassion Over Killing, Tracy from Sweet Haven Bakery and Surab Dalal from the Vegetarian Society of DC. Then we head over to the virtual music stage for a song, Green Backyard, from Floored on Empty, who played the Green Festival. And there is a Science Fact about the tainted milk scandal in China that may be a cautionary tale for U.S. food industries.

Judaism and Vegetarianism by Barry Nakell On May 31, 2008, the Triangle Vegetarian Society hosted a lecture discussing the relationship of Judaism and Vegetarianism. After viewing the Jewish Vegetarians of North America's powerful documentary film, A Sacred Duty: Applying Jewish Values To Help Heal the World (available for free on request), Barry Nakell gave an approximately half-hour talk on the topic. Barry, a founder of our Vegetarian Society, shared wisdom he has gained through years of study and involvement with both vegetarianism and Judaism.
