Hey Pickles!

We have some big news this week! Sam has finally opened her very own Etsy shop, Cucumber Craftworks!  You can get her beautiful hand knit items, jewelry , and more. It's all vegan, and all made with love!

This week, we have an update on the Miyokos situation with an interview with Miyoko, and her attorney , Lisa Bloom.

We also have a new recipe from our Vegan Cookbook Challenge! We made the Best Ever Veggie Burgers from The Clean Vegan by Jackie Akerberg.
This was a really fun recipe and it definitely lives up to its name! They were delicious!

Jackie Akerberg is the creator of Jackfruitful Kitchen, and we will link to her site and the book below in the links section!

We update you on the new guidelines for purchasing produce. The updated dirty dozen & clean fifteen lists are out.

In our main topic this week, we ask why are vegan restaurants closing? Are they closing at a disproportionate rate compared to non vegan restaurants?
The answer might surprise you!

We have our weekly listener shout out, and don't forget that if you would like to get a shout out, send us an email or DM!

Thank you so much for listening and for all of your support!

We Love You!
Sam & Christine
