    The Blood Markers Every Cyclist Should Understand

  3. Ep 5: The Dairy Problem with Animal Equality

    12/07/2017

    Ep 5: The Dairy Problem with Animal Equality

    This week The ChickPeeps take a more serious turn as we investigate the issue with dairy and exactly why vegans don't consume it. Many non-vegans argue that taking its milk doesn't hurt cows and that in fact milking actually relieves the cow. We explore the reasons why this is a myth, and discuss the results of quitting dairy products entirely. We also interview two of the founders of Animal Equality, and creators of the groundbreaking iAnimal project, Jose Valle and Sharon Nunez, who recount in vivid detail the experiences they've had on dairy farms and the typical life of a dairy cow. Also on this episode... Is there more suffering in a glass of milk? 'You're not lactose intolerant, you're just not a baby cow.' The gifts/health benefits cows give you when you stop eating their secretions. Evy expresses her frustration with evolution to provide cows with adequate weaponry - why no fanged cows yet? Momo suggests carving holes in animals is probably not to their liking. Why do people think calcium is synonymous with dairy milk?  The Chickpeeps discuss their favourite dairy substitutes. Is dairy a feminist issue? How Animal Equality was founded. Jose shares how the iAnimal project was conceived. Tylor: 'These Animals are children who are then forced to have children who are then taken away just so we can drink their milk.' Is there an ethical way to consume dairy? The future for dairy farms.

    Evanna Lynch part one

    This episode is part one of our conversation with the brilliant Evanna Lynch, who you might know better as Luna Lovegood.  Growing up in rural Ireland, Evanna was a quiet, shy child who found comfort in the pages of Harry Potter. When she was chosen to play the role of Luna Lovegood, she felt like her dreams had come true, but the reality wasn’t always pygmy puffs and rainbows. In this episode Evanna, a self-confessed Potter super-fan, opens up about finding it difficult to relax on set surrounded by her heroes, tells us how she offered to donate her salary to pay for a certain character’s funeral, and shares what it was like having a bodyguard at school.   Evanna supports many charities including Lumos and Veganuary. She also co-founded the cruelty-free beauty box Kinder Beauty. Listen to Evanna’s podcast The Chickpeeps to learn about her journey into veganism.  Listen to our next episode for part two!

'I've got a plan to save the world', promises Dino Luciano, the talented and dynamic chef who broke new ground when he became the first vegan to win Masterchef in 2017 -  and we're inclined to believe him! In this in-depth interview Dino speaks candidly to the ChickPeeps - and special guest host Elliot Knight! - about his experiences as a vegan competing in the world's biggest cooking show, why he chose to compete in the first place knowing he'd have to cook meat, and whether or not veganism can heal the world. Also in this episode... 'I wanted to be a vegetarian ever since I could remember'. Dino explains how, despite his traditional italian upbringing, he always felt at heart that he didn't agree with consuming animals. His earliest experiences working in restaurants and getting fired a lot when he wouldn't taste the food. Dino's rationale for being 'a little more stealth' about his vegan advocacy now. Dino talks about how his need to save his family's health pushed him to learn how to make healthy vegan food taste as good as and better than animal products. 10 points to you if you can guess which Hogwarts house Dino is! Dino speculates on why being a vegan chef would be controversial on network tv in America. 'My vegan food actually is a little bit better than my meat, and my meat is the best meat anyone in the world can cook.' Dino shares his theory on how cooking could be the solution to ending racism. How and why Dino's OCD and anxiety lessened when he switched to a plant based diet. How visualisation and the law of attraction was a key component to his winning Masterchef. One person Dino would like to see go vegan. Links: Follow Dino on Instagram, Youtube and Twitter! Check out Dino's website and have him cater your next plant-based event or dinner!
