    The End of Factory Farming!? With Bruce Friedrich | Ep. 109

    Do you think ending factory farming is possible? If yes, what form of activism do you believe will stop factory farming for good? Institutional change? Street protests? Legal reforms? Well, our guest today, Bruce Friedrich, founder of the Good Food Institute, thinks ending factory farming is possible — but activism is not the answer. For him, the solution to this issue is cultivated meat: the perfect replacement for regular meat, because it would taste the same, cost the same, but with no health risks, environmental damage and certainly no animal suffering. In this episode, we discussed the new McVeggie that has launched in Canada, the consolidation of power in the hands of a few big food corporations, the Campbell Soup 3D printed lab-grown chicken debacle, and the opposition to cultivated meat by some animal advocates. Many of them have appeared on the show. I will add links in the description to all those episodes, including an amazing debate hosted by United Poultry Concerns featuring Bruce.

    Is Vegan Entrepreneurship Valid Activism? With Miyoko, An, Meg, Sandra & Brett | Ep. 108

    Prevent Bhutan from establishing its first slaughterhouse: https://www.change.org/p/prevent-bhutan-from-establishing-its-first-slaughterhouse For today's episode, we explore the hidden face of vegan entrepreneurship. We often see vegan products mysteriously appear and disappear on the shelves of grocery stores, but how often do we stop to wonder what's happening behind the scenes? How did those products find themselves there? Well, today you will get some answers, and they won't make you look at vegan products the same way again. To guide us through this topic, I have with me five amazing entrepreneurs. Miyoko Schinner, of course, who describes herself as an Epicurean activist out to create justice for animals, people, and the planet. She is the founder of the Rancho Compasión (https://www.ranchocompasion.org/) animal sanctuary and author of The Vegan Creamery, her latest book (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/752115/the-vegan-creamery-by-miyoko-schinner/). An Pham, the entrepreneur behind Bodhi Gourmet (https://bodhigourmet.com/) vegan Asian sauces and Boida Outerwear (www.boidaouterwear.com) with its collection of Vegagooz winter outerwear. Also, the organizer of the Vegan Christmas Market of Montreal. Meg Kelly, who co-founded the Veganic Agriculture Network (https://goveganic.net/). She also teaches the Learn Veganic (https://learnveganic.com/) online gardening course to empower people around the world to grow their own fruits and veggies at home. Sandra Nomoto is a book whisperer for authors with impact. She herself authored two books, including the world's first vegan marketing book, Vegan Marketing Success Stories (https://www.sandranomoto.com/products/). She also co-founded VEG Networking Canada, Canada's only vegan networking group. And finally, Brett Christoffel, the founder of All Y'alls Foods (https://allyallsfoods.com/), plant-based proteins such as plant-based jerky. A portion of All Y’alls Foods’ profits supports the Ranchers Advocacy Program, an initiative of the Rowdy Girl Sanctuary.

    Making Compromises For the Animals. With Rune-Christoffer Dragsdahl | Ep. 107

    Today, we travel to Denmark to explore the amazing work of the Vegetarian Society of Denmark. I welcomed their Secretary-General, Rune-Christoffer Dragsdahl, to discuss why the Vegetarian Society of Denmark, despite its support of veganism, is not called the Vegan Society of Denmark, the art of building coalitions with people you disagree with, what if the annexation of Greenland into the US could be beneficial for stopping whale hunting?, Rune-Christoffer's secret to not burning out and much more.

    Winning Europe, One Victory at A Time. With José Luis Murillo | Ep. 106

    Today, we travel to Europe where there is a fierce political fight taking place for the animals. And to address this topic, I have with me José Luis Murillo, the General Director of Animal Welfare Observatory. Jose and I discussed how Animal Welfare Observatory was able to make it a policy to have cameras in Spanish slaughterhouses and their plans to make it happen everywhere else in Europe, the clash his organization has with big Ag lobbyists, how his team convinced corporations that animal welfare reforms were lucrative, if there is hope for animal rights activists to get between animal and plant farmers and much more.

    The Future of Animal Rights. With Cat Kerr | Ep. 105

    Have you ever watched a nature documentary in which a wild animal was filmed struggling for survival? Maybe running from a predator, desperately foraging for food or braving bad weather. What if I told you that we had a moral imperative to help that animal? To help all wildlife creatures. To play an active role in their welfare, even when their sufferings are not traced back to us. There is an organization called Wild Animal Initiative that studies this very question. Their communication director, Cat Kerr, joined me to talk about the implications of that revolutionary idea. We discussed how Wild Animal Initiative's work could be a cure for vegan misanthropy, the deadly risks of feeding birds, my awesome story of squirrel rescue, contraception for rodents, and much more. Wild Animal Initiative is one of the ten Animal Charity Evaluators recommended charities. I committed to interviewing every charity on that golden list, because I am really curious to learn who is behind the most effective efforts to advance the cause of animal rights.
