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!

    301- Save money as a vegan...and spend your savings on lobster?!

    296- "Quick! The inspector's coming; let the chickens sleep for a bit!"

    Sadly, this is almost exactly what a Mercy for Animals investigation has found was the rhetoric in one 'high-welfare' organic Costco-approved chicken farm. Break the rules, but pay them lip-service when the person who gives the high-welfare accreditation comes a-knocking. Shane & Anthony discuss this, as well as several other news stories in this week's round-up of animal rights & vegan headlines from around the world. Like what we do?

    294- Vegans of prey, hunting down their next target...

    First it was steak...now bird shows...what will these insatiable pests target next in their bid to remove all fun from the world? William Sitwell has got very upset about Darlington animal rights folk getting a bird of prey show banned and has written about it in the Daily Telegraph, inadvertedly giving Paul, Kate & Shane a good chuckle. The trio also discuss several other news stories in this week's round-up of ten animal rights & vegan headlines from around the world. Like what we do? Want to help it sound even better?
