Many fellow herbivores claim to be 100% vegan, but is that really possible? Between the hidden animal byproducts in your wallpaper, tires, and computer screens, achieving vegan perfection is a lot harder than you might think. In part one of a two-part episode, The Tofu Trio discusses whether or not striving for a 100% vegan lifestyle is realistic. Spoiler alert: They admit that it's nearly impossible almost immediately. As usual, they veer off topic quite a bit. In fact, the show kicks off with Joey presenting a comic book that, while lacking market significance, holds great sentimental value for him. Vanessa then debuts her latest knitting project, which somehow managed to make Jon sick, before Jon responds to a listener email questioning his frequent use of ChatGPT. Don't worry. They do eventually get to the topic at hand. They just don't spend a lot of time on it. Maybe they'll do better in part two next week. Another spoiler alert: They don't.
