Following the final meeting of the people behind the US dietary guidelines, could we be on the verge of plant-based proteins taking centre-stage in the advice that is given out from the US government over the next 5 years? Kate, Dominic & Anthony decide whether to get excited about this, as well as discussing half a dozen other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

With the Vegan Week podcast, we aim to keep listeners (& ourselves) informed & up-to-date with the latest developments that affect vegans & non-human animals; giving insight, whilst staying balanced; remaining true to our vegan ethics, whilst constantly seeking to grow & develop.

Each week we look through news stories from the past 7 days in the world of veganism & animal rights.
