PETA have been very busy this week...but would it sometimes be better to keep quiet?

But oh the irony, as Ant, Dominic & Kate spend a whole hour 'falafeling' on in this episode, looking at whether Lancaster University is going plant-based or not, the beginnings of a U-turn from Adidas regarding its use of kangaroo leather, as well as hearing the latest from the EU elections regarding different political party's stances on plant-based policies. 

As ever, we're also briefly covering half a dozen or so further stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news, giving the facts, our opinions & the occasional bit of silliness.
