In this episode, Kathy Stevens and Linda Soper-Kolton discuss:

* How Linda developed her love of cooking and her connection to food.

* The origins of Catskill Animal Sanctuary’s Compassionate Cuisine program.

* Some of the most common questions asked about the vegan lifestyle.

Key Takeaways:

* Vegan cooking works for all types of eaters with all types of lifestyles.

* Making the animal connection can be more difficult if you aren’t able to see, touch, and feel the animals. Compassionate Cuisine strives to deliver that animal connection.

* We are doing damage to ourselves by eating far more protein than we need.

* If you have enough time to eat animals, you have enough time to eat vegan.

“I really don’t ever consciously say ‘where am I going to get my protein tonight?’ I just know that if I eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and seeds and these are ingredients that create other foods, if I eat that way, I’m good." – Linda Soper-Kolton
