In today's episode I couldn't decide on what to talk about... so I though we'd talk about the two topics on my mind: The first one is Peter Dinklage on no longer being vegetarian, and the second is Kevin Hart's restaurant chain 'Hart House' suddenly no longer in business all with a social media post... We'll be discussing what these things mean for vegans around the world.

Well... Charlotte DuJardin made the news for usuing cruelty towards horses. So she stepped out of the Paris Olympics. If I'm honest, am I surprised?
