The Veg Foodcast

Should vegans be buying products from big fast food companies and plant-based meats that are owned by large conventional meat companies? I look at the arguments for and against and talk about the considerations behind this question.

With fast food companies adding more vegan options to their menu, I address the oh-so common concern regarding ideas of "cross-contamination".

Major update from the Meat The Victims Canada event as four activists have been criminally charged and will have to appear in court this September.

What psychological biases are at play when we choose to "buy local"? Why does buying local seem preferable from a social welfare perspective than buying items made in foreign, less wealthy countries? (Rambly episode, heads up!)

Mapping the history of veganism from before the official term and how an industrializing and globalizing world both prompted & enabled veganism but also positions it in a way that makes it largely accessible to those based on their skin color.

After a brief break I check in with you about why we should care about municipal politics, some of my bike camping adventures, and a small bit about being thankful for therapy.

Hi everyone I really didn't manage to have a full episode for you all this week. I'm leaving for a bike camping trip with my brother and plan to do a lot more camping over the summer. Appreciate you all as I figure out what a sustainable schedule looks like.

The balance between self-care and not being engaged is a fine line to walk. Let's start by learning so that our activism can be better informed and contextualized.

After looking at some of the most harmful animal products, I talk about what we can do with that information. Also some big life updates on this totally off-script episode!
