When Perfection is the Enemy of the Good
Just because we can't be perfect doesn't mean we should be indifferent. Imperfection is built into being vegan, because imperfection is built into being human. But just because we can't do everything doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything.

I Am Not Evil. I Just Disagree: Divisiveness, Tribalism, and a Call for Compassion
We are living in a time when group loyalty, ideology, and identity politics are valued more than kindness, reason, critical thinking, and tolerance for another point of view. And it scares the bejesus out of me.
Today's episode is (yet another) call for compassion.

Customer Reviews
An amazing resource!
I absolutely adore this podcast...it’s one of the reasons we transitioned to vegan lifestyle nearly 7 years ago. Colleen provides a very helpful perspective on a variety of interesting topics. I’ve used certain episodes numerous times to help others with questions or challenges. Keep up the amazing work!
No longer worth it for me
I’ve been a listener since 2011. Colleen has a lot of advice to share but I think the content started going downhill after she shifted to mainly planning vacations as her brand. I get it, it must be really nice to be paid to plan and go on vacations. I don’t travel much so this content isn’t very useful for me, but I understand that this is useful content for others.
I also have been waiting for her to say anything about Gaza since October 7th. I mean, the Lancet, one of the most prestigious medical journals around, just put the number of dead in at more than 186,000. Her instagram bio mentions “Compassion for animals and humans” but she hasn’t said anything once about Gaza. And she blocks anyone on Instagram who asks about it. The final straw for me was that she had a reel about “not looking away from the suffering” (of animals). I asked why she was blocking people who asked her to speak on the human suffering in Gaza, and guess what? She blocked me. Guess she doesn’t want to look at the suffering in Gaza. Enjoy the cognitive dissonance, Colleen.
Great podcast! Love Colleen💛
I have listened to food for thought for over a year now. Colleen is a great individual. She has much wisdom to share and ideas to brighten your life. She has also done many interesting episodes that give historical context to food that’s super interesting. I have loved listening to her longer episodes while working, cooking, or cleaning. She just add a little bit of sunshine and richness to the day! I hope to one day go on one of her vegan trips because they always sound AMAZING🫶🌞
