Belgium says enough is enough; plant based labels are NOT confusing...

Nigeria in bold effort to curb ivory trade...

Earthling Ed's new book, "How to argue with a meat eater (and win every time)" has been out for a couple of weeks now. Is its title clever, or unnecessarily incendiary? Are Ed's words inspiring, or a little self-riteous? And will anyone other than card-carrying members of Team:Vegan read the book? Tom, Kate & Anthony wrestle with these questions and more in their review of the book from Penguin Publishing. As ever, they'd be keen to hear your thoughts once you've listened to the episode. [email protected] is the place to reach us.

You may also be thinking...

"Vegan Talk? Is this a new show from Enough of the Falafel?"

Well, yes and no...

You know the discussion section that we normally have in the second half of the show, focussed on just one topic? Well, we're trying this out as its own show, seeing as it's quite different from the news section. So, Vegan Week on Monday is where you'll still get your weekly roundup of vegan & animal rights news' and Vegan Talk on Thursday is where you'll hear guests deep-dive on one particular topic

What are vegans supposed to do when friends (or work colleagues, family members or neighbours...) announce that they're "doing Veganuary". Do we need to rally around with support, unsolicited advice & emergency food drops of tofu blocks & bushels of kale? Or indeed, should we be preparing ourselves for hearing 'veganism' being experienced in a very different way to how we ourselves see it.

Julie & Anthony wrestle with today's topic and would be keen to hear your thoughts once you've listened to the episode. [email protected] is theplace to reach us.
