I don't eat a lot of meat, dairy, and eggs.
In the 23+ years I’ve been guiding people on the vegan journey, I have rarely met one person who doesn’t say “I don’t eat a lot of meat, dairy, and eggs.”

Finding Abundance While Traveling Vegan — in General and in Ireland!
Whether you're traveling for work or pleasure, finding abundance and sustenance while on the road is easy once you know where to look and if you plan ahead (which I argue should be done even when you're NOT traveling).
With loads of general tips for finding vegan food in airports, preparing for airplanes, choosing veg-friendly hotels, and traveling internationally, I flesh out this episode with details of my recent travels to Ireland, interpersing food tales with some of our favorite things to do — related to literature (Yeats and more), history (particularly in Dublin and Kilkenny), nature (hikes in Connemara), and animal protection (Donkey Sanctuary and Ballynahinch Castle).
ENJOY!

Buying In or Selling Out? When Meat and Dairy Corporations Buy Vegan Companies
The plant-based foods market recently topped $3.1 billion in sales and is slated to reach over $5 billion in just a couple years. As a result, the animal-based meat, dairy, egg, and other large corporations see vegan companies and the plant-based products they make as competitors they should fear, emulate, learn from, collaborate with, invest in, or even purchase.
They recognize they need to "buy into" the success, growth, and future of the plant-based market. Some, however, see it as vegan companies "selling out," choosing profit over principles and betraying their loyal vegan customer base.
On today's re-broadcast episode, we explore the many perspectives of such business decisions and speculate about who the biggest winners are in the end.

Compassion has nothing to do with someone else's behavior. It has everything to do with our own.
Determined to signal that we oppose bad behavior, we declare that we’re not going to have compassion for someone because they don’t "deserve" it. The irony is that the people we think are the least deserving of compassion are probably the ones who need it most. And that’s the crux: Compassion has nothing to do with someone else’s behavior — it has everything to do with our own.
Listen to today's small bite sound bite for more about compassion.

Customer Reviews
So insightful
Just discovered this podcast from the Joyful Vegan, wow I’m so glad I did! Colleen is so focused, level-headed, and no nonsense talking about all sorts of vegan topics.
Favorite podcast!
Colleen is extremely well-researched and thorough on every topic that she addresses. I have learned so much through the years, and continue to learn so much from Colleen. Colleen’s content extends beyond providing the listener with tools to remain a joyful vegan, into providing inspiration on how to live a full and meaningful life. My day is made when I see a new episode of Food for Thought in my podcast feed!
Supportive and Encouraging
My daily go to podcast for good thoughts on the vegan diet. I was raised as a meat eater, however, I am happiest and feel my best eating a vegan diet. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and wisdom publicly. I don’t feel so alone on my journey.
