Hey Pickles!

We hope you're safe & well.

This week, we introduce a new segment, The Why Files, where we share some weird & wild news in the vegan space. This week, we discuss a prominent vegan advocate that is no longer vegan. His reason? Marshmallows. That's right, marshmallows.

In our Noteworthy segment, we look at the state of the vegan food market. Has the bubble burst?

And, our Main Topic this week is an update on how US health agencies are handling ( or not handling) the avian flu outbreak. They want you to think that it just went away, but guess what? It has not!

We feature a new restaurant in our Vegan Restaurant SOS series, and we have a new Listener Shout Out! We hope it's you!

Thank you so much for spending some of your day with us.

Much love, Sam & Christine

Hey Pickles!

We hope this finds you well!

This week, in our Noteworthy Segment, we share some great vegan recipe sites. There are a ton of wonderful vegan food blogs out there, and we'll tell you about a few of them!

Here are links to the vegan blogs that we talk about:

https://rainbowplantlife.com

https://thefirstmess.com

https://www.hotforfoodblog.com

https://ohsheglows.com

https://www.noracooks.com

https://sweetpotatosoul.com

https://www.veganricha.com

https://www.pickuplimes.com

And, in our Main Topic, we fill you in on more terrible legislation coming out of the current administration that has it's sites on our public lands and protected species.

We have a feeling that we will be revisiting this topic frequently.

Our featured vegan restaurant in our Vegan Restaurant SOS series this week is Franchia Vegan Cafe in New York City. We loved our meal when we were there a couple years ago & we can't wait to get back.

We also have a new Listener Shout Out, and plenty of our usual shenanigans.

Thanks so much for listening.

Much love, Sam & Christine

Hey Pickles!

We really hope this episode finds you well.

This week, we tell you about a new Buffalo NY vegan spot that we visited. Sevens Vegan Cafe & Bakery provided a fantastic lunch experience, and we'll give you all the delicious details!

In our Noteworthy segment, we debunk some recent headlines that have been reporting that vegans cannot build muscle due to not ingesting animal protein.

We'll share a recent scientific article that proves that to be false!

And, in our Main Topic this week, we share some good news in the vegan space.

You'll hear about a vegan fast food chain that's expanding to 18 more locations, a story of how the NIH is working towards phasing out animal testing for medicines and foods, how a former animal testing facility has been transitioned into an animal sanctuary, and Italy has recently banned puppy yoga. We love some good news!

Here's a link to watch a video of the sanctuary that we talk about: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/animalkind/2024/04/25/watch-a-former-animal-testing-lab-transform-into-an-animal-sanctuary/73438215007/

We feature a new vegan spot in our Vegan Restaurant SOS series. It's one you don't want to miss, as the owners are looking for a buyer, and plan on closing this coming November.

We also have a new Listener Shout Out , and a heaping helping of our usual shenanigans.

Enjoy the show, and thanks so much for listening.

Much love, Sam & Christine
