Just because we can't be perfect doesn't mean we should be indifferent. Imperfection is built into being vegan, because imperfection is built into being human. But just because we can't do everything doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything.

FALSEHOOD: Reading the news makes you engaged. TRUTH: Reading the news makes you enraged.

If you feel anxiety reading the news, stop reading the news. True engagement is being proactive not reactive, being curious, being thoughtful, being discerning, being contemplative.

Listen to this episode to become truly engaged — not enraged — and take a break for 30 days. I bet you’ll feel better and even more informed.

We are living in a time when group loyalty, ideology, and identity politics are valued more than kindness, reason, critical thinking, and tolerance for another point of view. And it scares the bejesus out of me. 

Today's episode is (yet another) call for compassion.

You pestered your friends and bugged your family until they finally listened to Food for Thought. You nagged your partner to join you on an all-inclusive vegan trip with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, badgering them to the point of harrassment. After incessant hounding didn't work, you lured them in with the ultimate bait: the best plant-based food on the planet! 

In those few sentences, there are no less than EIGHT (8) animal-related words; i.e. animalogies. Can you spot them all? Listen to today's episode for a full account, and let us know your thoughts!
