Vegan in Japan (Part One)
We made history running the very first vegan group trip to Japan, and it was a huge success. While Buddhism-inspired vegetarianism has been part of the Japanese culture since around the 6th and 7th centuries, "veganism" as a concept is very new. In this first episode, I provide a frame through which to understand the challenges and the threads of eating plant-based in Japan, including
the influence of Buddhism and other factors that resulted in a mostly plant-based culture for most of its history how the move toward modernizing Japan — as of 1868 — contributed to the increase in meat consumption the regional aspect of Japanese cuisine the "foodie" aspect of Japanese cuisine, which can also lead to food rituals and ceremonies, as well as fodder for satire I also provide a number of suggestions for what to look for generally if you are traveling in Japan as a joyful vegan, including
which items typically have animal products what and how to ask for vegan options where to find the best options as a vegan Enjoy!

Take a listen to the Medieval origins of this food, how it saved a city, and why it's associated with Easter.

Adapting Recipes. Adapting Ourselves.
Being vegan often invites criticism and challenges societal norms, as it requires a departure from the familiar. Yet, I think this word adapt beautifully captures this innate human quality that compels us to grow and change and learn and evolve. We have the ability and capability to adapt our tastes, our choices, and our ways of thinking: what we know, what we don’t know, embracing the dynamic nature of life. Our journey as humans is a continuous process of reshaping, refining, and evolving. In adapting, we embody the essence of who we are – a constant state of becoming. —————— Don't forget to support this podcast through Patreon or as an Apple Subscriber for bonus material, early access to episodes, and other perks, depending on the option you choose.

Customer Reviews
Truly a refreshing and resonant perspective!
Colleen always inspires, but the podcast on compassion was truly one of the best I’ve ever listened to. Tomorrow I’ll listen to it again because there was so much to soak up. This is one that needs to be shared. Just wow.
Thank you
Colleen is an inspiration and a tireless activist for the animals.
Very Informative, Inspiring and promotes so much compassion!
I recently discovered this podcast, after a co-worker of mine, whom happens to be vegan herself, recommended the Food for Thought podcast as I was struggling with my "vegetarianism" after watching the documentary "Dominion". Deciding to go vegan immediately after watching the documentary, I was looking for inspiration and answers. I went into a deep dive with your podcast, starting at the very beginning, and after only 20 episodes in, I feel inspired, connected, hopeful, and educated on where to go and how to live a more compassionate lifestyle that supports all animals as living beings. I also felt sad and angry as Colleen sheds truth and light on the horrors of the Intensive modern meat industry and the system that has done a good job at keeping the truth away from us. I feel more empowered after each episode and I thank Colleen on her hard, tireless work in speaking the truth and speaking for the voiceless and forgotten. Keep up the hard work, you inspire us to keep going. I look forward to each old and new episodes, and will help to spread the message for you, for the animals and for our planet! Thank you!
