September 29, 2023 45. High Schooler Sues USDA for making her promote cow milk (ft. Marielle Williamson)
In today's episode I have Marielle Williamson on the podcast to talk about how she is suing her school district and the United States Department of Agriculture for violating her first amendment rights after she was told she could only promote non-dairy milk if she also promoted animal-based milk.
Various studies have linked dairy to an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. On top of that, many people have a hard time digesting it. Despite it's unhealthy nature and the animal cruelty, Dairy has been pushed on students in schools since the 1950's and now people are finally trying to put a stop to it, Marielle being a big part of this process.

September 22, 2023 44. Recap of the Coach Fashion Show Disruption and the Importance of High Risk Action (ft. Ashley Byrne)
In this episode, Ashley Byrne and I recap the iconic coach fashion show disruption which made headlines. We talk about the planning that went into it, the nerves, and the positive and negative backlash on social media. PETA is notorious for these kinds of actions and trust me, there's a method to their madness. In this episode we discuss the importance of disrupting the status quo and how it leads to change.
Everyone wants to attack the messenger instead of actually facing the message and our last episode together was called "The Truth About PETA" where we myth bust all the false claims big ag has made about PETA. Well one thing people can't argue is that LEATHER KILLS... And that's just what my sign said.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mYPJ0ZYA6hEHope you enjoy this episode. Thanks for watching!

September 14, 2023 43. A Deep Dive into the History of Animal Agriculture
Today my high school history teacher interviews ME about how animal agriculture grew to be one of the most powerful, yet destructive industries of our time.

We take things all the way back to hunting and gathering and then fast forward to the boom of the Industrial Revolution and then make our way to discuss the shit show of modern day agriculture.

Topics in this podcast include my bad behavior in high school, how I went vegan, methods to create change, government subsidies, food waste, environmental destruction, health and big pharma and more.

He clarifies that ancient texts may have been interpreted differently over time, and he encourages listeners to explore the true essence of these verses in the context of compassion and kindness.

Rabbi Gersh also shares his personal journey to finding veganism and religion and shares inspiring stories of how the Jewish community has been embracing plant-based living, incorporating compassionate choices into their traditional recipes, and celebrating plant-based holidays.
