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!

    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? As well as looking at this story, Richard, Mark & Ant dissect eight bits of news from the last 7 days 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.

    244- If you can't give your vegan money to McDonalds anymore...

    GIVE IT TO US!!!!!
