The last few months have seen several closures of veg restaurants across the GTA. With that in mind, we wanted to celebrate and remind everyone of the great vegan places that still exist, and have been around for a decade or more! Friend of the podcast Greg joined Barbi and Jeanette to share their picks for places and dishes, along with suggestions from members of the Toronto Vegans Facebook Group.

Plus, we were joined by Lanre Onigbinde-Bey, co-founder and owner of 5 Principles Cuisines, to talk about their food and their upcoming Vegan Pop Up Brunch.

Listen as Barbi, Jen and Sweta have a conversation inspired by the book No Meat Required: The Cultural History and Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating by Alicia Kennedy. We'll be talking about the pros and cons of the rise of veganism and vegan products within the mainstream capitalist system and whether or not it's important for veganism to be operating outside of that. We'll also talk about whether or not it matters that there's an increasing corporate influence over veganism. Listen now!

Sanctuary Doc is a nonprofit multimedia project sharing visual stories of compassion for animals across challenging contexts. One such story involves exploring the connection between humans experiencing homelessness and their companion animals. On this episode, we are joined by Sanctuary Doc’s co-founder, Thomas Machowicz, and board member, Diana Hulet. Both are animal photojournalists who have been using their lens to capture the bonds and realities faced by people and their companion animals experiencing homelessness, as well as the vet teams who help keep the animals healthy and these families together. Join us as we discuss the importance of bringing visibility and compassion to humans and non-human animals in vulnerable circumstances and the role of mindfulness in animal activism and photography.

When you think of one of the most gruelling tests of endurance and fitness, the ironman triathlon is definitely one of them. On this episode, we talk with Todd Crandell about his incredible journey towards becoming a vegan endurance athlete, having completed over 100 of these events thus far. We chat about the positive impacts of veganism on his races as well as his nonprofit foundation, Racing for Recovery, which supports individuals recovering from substance abuse by promoting a lifestyle of health, fitness, and sobriety. We also discuss his recent book about veganism called Do No Harm: Discovering the truth and the power behind a compassionate lifestyle. Join us as we explore the inspiration behind the book and the significance of sharing such an important message with its readers.
