Hey Pickles!

This week has been difficult for our WNY Community. A racist mad man gunned down 10 of our neighbors, friends, and family.
We pay tribute to the victims, and honor them. Their lives were stolen, not lost. Our hearts are with every member of the Buffalo community, as we all attempt to live in this new normal.

We're starting a new segment to share some of the vegan organizations that we encourage you to support.
This week we focus on Mockingbird Farm Animal Sanctuary, and The Buffalo Chapter of Food Not Bombs.

We also continue our Vegan Cookbook Challenge with a recipe from Jenne Claiborne's Sweet Potato Soul. The name taken from her extremely successful YouTube food channel!

Hold your family & friends close.
Thank you so much for listening.

Hey Pickles!

This week we cheated a little on our Vegan Cookbook Challenge, and took a recipe from a vegan food blog called Vegan Heaven. This recipe is becoming a favorite of ours.

 We discuss an article about beef labeled "antibiotic free" testing positive for antibiotics, and how we can not trust our food labeling laws.

We talk about Ahimsa, and what it means to us, and tell you what we thought of the documentary, Meat The Future.

Here are links to everything we talk about:

Vegan Heaven.     https://veganheaven.org/recipe/vegan-cauliflower-tacos/

Washington Post Article on antibiotic free beef https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/04/07/antibiotics-found-in-natural-meat/?
