The Simply Vegan Podcast

Ep136. How a music genre became an animal rights movement, with MOBY


Listen Later

In part 1 of today’s episode, we discuss the fact that Vegan Runners is now Parkrun’s biggest club – and share how you can help keep them at the top spot.

We also discuss stand up desks, vegan seafood alternatives, losing our cooking mojo and how to make a lasagne in a pan to save on washing up.  

But part 2 is the main event, when we chat to musician, DJ, producer and director –Moby. We talk about his new film, The Punk Rock Vegan Movie, which covers the history of punk rock and its roots in politics, animal rights and activism. Moby explains why he went vegan in the 80s, back when no one even knew how to pronounce the word, and why it's so much more than just rebelling against the system. 

We also discuss why veganism is not a belief but something that's based on science and fact and how we can adapt our behaviours to encourage others to go vegan, too. 

Today’s podcast is sponsored by the award-winning Ilchester Vegan Melting Mature.

Described as 'the best melting vegan cheeze on the market'. That’s right. Ilchester Vegan Melting Mature shares the same meltability factor as dairy cheddar cheeses, something that until its launch many found lacking in other plant based cheezes. 

It really is the perfect cheezy addition to any meal; it melts well on vegan burgers, toast, nachos and more! AND it’s fortified with vitamin B12 and calcium. What’s not to love?!

OK, we’re hungry now… pick up this super oozy cheeze in block or slices format in a Sainsbury’s or Tesco store near you.
