Vegan Week

Enough of the Falafel

Weekly vegan news show, with headlines, commentary & discussion. Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights. But there's one problem: We've had enough of all the "falafel" out there! Each week we release two different shows, hosted by a different combination of everyday vegans. No celebrities; no influencers; just normal vegan people from across the world! With the 'Vegan Week' podcast, we aim to keep listeners (& ourselves) informed & up-to-date with the latest developments that affect vegans & non-human animals; giving insight, whilst staying balanced; remaining true to our vegan ethics, whilst constantly seeking to grow & develop. A few days later we release another weekly show: 'Vegan Talk'. Here we'll pick a topic affecting vegans, or the animal rights movement & go into a bit more detail, whether it be through philosophical musings, weighing up different viewpoints, or simply sharing our own experiences.  If you spot any news stories that might catch our fancy, or have an idea for a discussion topic, get in touch via enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com.  Thanks everyone for listening; drop us a message to say "hi"; it'll make our day! Much love, from Ant, Julie, Mark, Dominic, Kate, Paul, Carlos, Luke, Rich, Tom, Alex & everyone else at the Enough of the Falafel collective!

    285- Ahimsa Milk: Could we use milk in an ethical way?

    Ahimsa milk is a type of "slaughter-free" dairy produced using the ancient principle of Ahimsa (meaning "non-violence"). The Ahimsa Dairy Foundation in the UK guarantee that no cows, calves, or bulls are ever killed for meat, sold into the conventional beef industry, or slaughtered when they stop producing milk, when these principles are followed...but what do two vegans think about 'ahimsa milk'? Carlos & Ant examine the practice from a variety of angles. Mentioned in the discussion are: https://viva.org.uk/blog/ahimsa-milk/ https://www.ahimsamilk.org/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB946c2Z4BI As ever, we love hearing your views on the topics under discussion (or  anything else!) so do drop us your thoughts via enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com ************* Enough  of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the  latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights.

    281- Going Vegan for...my penis?!

    Oh yeah, we went there! Following PETA's latest "plant-based diets give you more enduring erections" advert, we thought we'd ask David, Dominic & Paul to talk aubergines...and vegan diets, as well as themes around masculinity and what positive messages could be adopted by the vegan movement in this way.

    According to the Guardian this week, Lord Howe Island in the Pacific Ocean is now a biodiverse paradise for insects & other creepy crawlies. Hooray!
