I Am (Not) An Animal

In today's episode, I discuss the origins of the word "animal," whose root word means "soul" - something humans are in danger of losing if we keep denying non-human animals theirs. Thanks to today's sponsors: 22DaysNutrition.com, AnimaLearn.org, & FieldRoast.com. I also share the origins of other animal-related words (beast, creature, brute, brute and savage) and answer your questions and calls: one being from a student whose science teacher challenges her about animal issues in the middle of class and another being from a woman who wants advice for discarding her wool- and lambskin-lined boots. Finally, there's a question about the difference between Vitamin D2 and D3 - and yet another about what I feed my cats (for the umpteenth time: meat!).Thanks to today's sponsors:*22DaysNutrition - protein and energy bars and powder - 22daysnutrition.com*Animal Learn, the education division of AAVS - animalearn.org*Field Roast, the makers of artisan vegan meat - fieldroast.com This is a public episode.
