Veg Out 570: Language Matters

Speciesist language reflects our societal norms that certain species are inferior to others. Words that are commonly used in our language can emphasize these norms, while the use of euphemisms can help to create a mental distance from any animal suffering. Join us as we discuss speciesist and non-speciesist language and some opportunities for how we can make shifts towards using more animal-friendly language in our everyday conversations.  News and Events Links: Stefano's Sandwiches: https://www.auburnlane.com/stefanos-sandwiches-plants-a-new-home-on-dundas-west/ Fresh Restaurant: https://www.freshkitchens.ca/en/locations/on/toronto/386-bloor-street-west 5 Principles Vegan Pop-Up Brunch (June 16): https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/vegan-pop-up-brunch-tickets-907230850897?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl The Art of Kindness (June 29): https://www.facebook.com/events/975445924131859/  Episode Links: Animalogy Podcast by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau: https://colleenpatrickgoudreau.com/animalogy-podcast/ PETA's Animal-Friendly Idioms: https://www.peta.org/features/animal-friendly-idioms/ The Save Movement Non-speciest Language: https://thesavemovement.org/non-speciesist-language/ How Do People Feel About Non-Speciesist Language (summary by A.
