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!

    252- 30 million do Veganuary in 2026!

    Blimey. That's the good news; the bad news is that it takes us 37 minutes to get to some good news this week! Still, knowledge has the potential to empower us, so we stand by reporting on these things. This week Ant is back & joins Shane dissect nine bits of news from the last week  in the vegan & animal rights space. **************** 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.

    251- Paid pro-meat trolls? All aboard: We're off to the Conspirra Sea!

    How do you know you're losing the argument? Perhaps when you've needed to pay folk to lie on social media to help you try and win!  In this episode of Vegan Talk, we examine an anonymous reddit article, where a user discloses the things that they (and others) were paid to do on behalf of the meat industry (https://plantbasednews.org/news/meat-industry-paid-to-discredit-veganism/). Is this a sign that animal ag is beginning to crumble? Or evidence that animal advocates will always be fighting an unfair fight? Kate, Paul & Ant strap on their tin foil hats and prepare to sail to the very edges of the Conspira Sea! 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. With the Vegan  Talk podcast, we aim to develop listeners' (& our own) thoughts  around key issues affecting veganism & the animal rights movement;  giving our opinions, whilst staying balanced; remaining true to our  vegan ethics, whilst constantly seeking to grow & develop. Each  week we home in on one topic in particular and pick it apart in more  detail.

    250- Vegan food is so....cheap?!

    This week Tesco announced that their plant based mince is now CHEAPER than their animal-based equivalent! A milestone in a changing landscape of people's food choices? Or just a one off?

    248- Post Milk Generation? Too confusing. Ban it.

    The phrase 'Post Milk Generation' is such a confusing one, isn't it? What could it possibly mean? No wonder the UK Supreme Court has banned its use on oat milk- sorry, oat drink- cartons this week.

    246- Roasted chicken; with thyme, paprika & chlorine...

    Sounds appetising, right?! Many major UK supermarkets have stated this week that they'll never stock chlorinated chicken...others stay ominously silent. But does this news change anything for animals? And how can we use this story to better advocate on behalf of animals?
