What have our fabulous listeners had to say about the news in the last few months? Have we been missing the point? Or being too harsh? Or being too rose-tinted? Rich & Ant discuss three bits of correspondence in depth, as well as looking at the top 10 vegan news stories from the week including...

Study with twins shows the potent & immediate effect of a wholefoods plant-based diet...

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. 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 ten of the top news stories from the past 7 days in the world of veganism & animal rights. Afterwards we slow things down & home in on one topic in particular and pick it apart in more detail.

If you spot any news stories that might catch our fancy, or have an idea for a discussion topic, get in touch via [email protected].

Enough of the Falafel is also on Facebok, Tiktok & Instagram @enoughofthefalafel.
