Although I think the mantra "make the connection" gives veganism a bit of a culty vibe I wanted to talk about when I "made the connection" ... 8 years before I went vegan and how I ignored it.

So... I have a mouse but have no idea what to do to get rid of it humanely. In order to make this even harder on myself I've named it Henry and have been trying to stall my family for as long as I can hoping I can figure out what to do before they just get tired of this and decide to kill him.

This week I share a story about my impassioned fight for vegan pizza in my own home and how I came out victorious even though my sister refused to even entertain the thought of having vegan cheese. I also answer a few of your questions and touch on how the animal agriculture industry is trying to hog names "milk" and "meat" and also discuss how I think about the plight of farmers.

I wanted to talk about one of the latest encounters I had with a non-vegan who for whatever reason seemed determined to start an argument with me 20 seconds into a conversation about veganism (and the genius way that I dealt with it to have them unravel their on argument).

This is a deep dive into "Vegandale" the small pocket of vegan businesses that opened in Parkdale that I mean... a lot of people hate. I spent two days digging through articles trying to figure out why and (I promise I tried to be as unbiased as possible but) the answer seems to overwhelmingly be that people just find vegans annoying. But we all knew that.

*The content of this episode is in no way meant to downplay or deny the gentrification of Parkdale. I was looking to investigate what role "Vegandale" played in the gentrification of the area and pin point exactly how their presence negatively impacted the community and I'm just sharing what I found.

Today goes down in history as the day I stopped giving af. This is all about the REAL reason I went vegan and I open up more honestly about things I've only alluded to in the past. I want everyone to remember that yes, I am human with real complex issues. No, I really don't want any emails soliciting medical advice haha and finally... yes, I am still that b*tch. 

I have never seen another chronically ill vegan openly talk about what they're going through except to say that their health issues no longer allow them to be vegan so I wanted to speak up. Yes you can still be vegan and be sick. I'm proof.

Today I talk about a cringey interaction I had with a non-vegan the other day and talk about how humbling it is to exercise patience when you have your vegan bubble popped. At the time of recording I also felt incredibly ill so pardon the beginning of the podcast where I sound like I'm about to pass out, I promise it gets better.

This episode is both an ode to Mr. Ratburn (from Arthur) and a story about non vegan people being afraid of dessert.

Hello class, welcome to Vegan Privilege 101 my one time intro course/massive brain dump on all things relating to veganism and privilege.

I didn't have much to say today but talked about how my laziness in the kitchen led to my downfall and how good it feels to no longer live with soul crushing vegan guilt.
