VEGAN NEWS: Miyoko's Butter Recall, Horse Carriage Ban & The Fight for Veganism!

Scientists are exploring an unconventional food technology that uses engineered microbes to transform plastic waste and agricultural byproducts into food ingredients. Could this help address food scarcity and plastic pollution, or are we entering a dystopian future where we're eating cookies made from trash? We break down the research, explore the possibilities, and ask whether food technology is the solution to our unsustainable food system.A vegan creator announces they're no longer vegan, and the backlash raises some uncomfortable questions. Is the vegan community driving people away through online hostility? Are creators and vegan business owners afraid to admit they've changed their minds because they could lose their audiences, livelihoods, or community?I discuss the difference between holding people accountable and harassing them, the so-called “vegan police,” and whether veganism can become cult-like when group loyalty takes priority over individual thought.I also reflect on my own experiences creating vegan content, being criticized by other vegans, and why I believe we need more thoughtful discussion instead of automatically reaching for the pitchforks.Plus: Your live comments and questions, the future of Beyond Meat, my next Waffleman creation, vegan fast food, music choices for shorts, and more!<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1361134/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>
