In this ep we talk Q&A, why we aren’t vegan & why we like DIY as an ethos
Some reading I did re: Veganism

If you dont listen to the ep we arent eschewing veganism because we hate vegans, we think being vegan is a admirable goal and we’d both like to move toward it in the future, but for health reasons it’s very difficult for us to be vegan/vegetarian right now, and for some people its not achievable -
