Hey Pickles!This Week's episode is brought to you by SUGAR! We had cupcakes from Strong Hearts in Buffalo right before recording the show, and Christine was pretty hyped up!We have a new recipe From Our Vegan Kitchen. This week we made Christine's Roasted Veggie Bowl With Barley & Miso Tahini Dressing! The full recipe is available to our Patrons over on our Patreon (link below).We talk about the new vegan cream cheese from Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Should we buy it? Have you seen it in stores?Our main topic this week is "Ex Vegans". Should we care if vegan personalities, or celebrities stop being vegan? Are vegans as compassionate as we say we are?We discuss the recent news that Alex O'Connor AKA Cosmic Skeptic announced that he's no longer vegan for medical reasons. Christine attended a webinar with The AFA to learn about how the lobbying in DC is going, and how we as vegan voters can have our voice heard with the advent of voter surveys for both the House & the Senate. These are portals where we, as vegan voters can have our voices heard (links below).We, of course, have our listener shout out, and our usual shenanigans.
