Chef Day Radley is the founder of THE VEGAN CHEF SCHOOL, created to provide the vegan movement with progressive learning and innovation. As a newbie vegan chef, in 2010, Chef Day Radley expected to dive into a world where her fellow chefs adored their work; creating dishes with love, pushing back the boundaries of cruelty free food.....sadly this wan't to be the case.It was 2010 and Chef Radley was working in her first pro-chef job. The kitchen was a maelstrom of grumpy, tetchy chefs, barking at each other whilst churning out food with as much care as a factory robot. Any love for food resided solely with her. The rest of the ‘team’ were not vegan or vegetarian and couldn’t care less about cross contamination. They were grown boys stuck in a career that was the best of a limited choice given them at age 16; work as a mechanic, builder or chef. For many, becoming a chef seemed like the easy choice. The long unsociable hours, minimum wage and sweaty, greasy conditions soon makes it clear that it is far from easy. This is a persistent problem in UK kitchens and one that adds to our terrible reputation for a severe lack of culinary finesse. When you pair that with the vegan movement the consequences could be even more severe; it has the potential to limit the growth of veganism. You can find out more about Chef Day Radley & The Vegan Chef School at this link.Discover & support The Bloody Vegans Podcast hereThis is a Bloody Vegans Production.

Antonia Whillans is making her mark as an actor, voice-over artist, and model, while also passionately championing causes as an activist. Her commitment extends to animal rights, human rights, and veganism, considering it a moral imperative to confront oppression and advocate for a world imbued with compassion and kindness towards all living beings. Antonia takes pride in being a prominent face of Vegan Happy, a brand that embodies genuine ethics—promoting kindness to animals, people, and the planet. Wearing the exquisite attire from Vegan Happy allows individuals to make a statement wherever they go.

In her dedicated pursuit of aligning work with animal rights activism and veganism, Antonia played a pivotal role in Viva! charity's inaugural television commercial, broadcasted across Channel 4 and associated networks, reaching an impressive 16 million viewers initially and 18 million upon re-airing the following year. Her commitment to raising awareness took a daring turn as she participated in a bold stunt outside Tate Liverpool with the organization Speciesism. Braving freezing temperatures of -3 degrees, she portrayed a human woman being milked, shedding light on the harsh realities of the dairy industry. The stunt garnered substantial attention from media outlets such as The Save Movement, Plantbased News, Vegan FTA UK & Spain, and Liverpool World, ensuring widespread coverage of the impactful demonstration.

Antonia further lent her voice to the award-winning documentary 'When Pigs Escape,' narrating the compelling story of Matilda, a pig who defied slaughter, gave birth in a woodland, and eventually found sanctuary amidst public outcry. Currently involved in another documentary titled 'Food for Thought,' focusing on Veganism and currently in post-production, Antonia continues to utilize her platform to shed light on crucial issues.

Notably, during London Fashion Week, Antonia graced the runway in vegan cactus leather and gender-neutral footwear designed by Sophie Park, a graduate of the Jimmy Choo Academy, exemplifying her commitment to promoting ethical and sustainable fashion choices.

A Southern baker at heart, Chris draws much of his culinary influence from the European style of baking and often time refers to himself as a Southern baker with a French twist. “I believe that European bakers are champions of properly balanced sweets and I aspire daily to be more like the Ottolenghi and Claire Ptak of the pastry world”

Carefully crafted with thought and passion, Chris’s menu of perfectly balanced buttercreams slathered atop delicate sponge, crisp biscuits with creamy curd and countless flaky pastries change with the seasons while a few staples having year-round availability.

He uses the best quality ingredients, including pantry staples such as Callebaut chocolate, farmers market produce and only the freshest dairy available. He spends much of his time creating and testing recipes for his clients.

When Chris isn’t testing, tasting and tweaking his recipes, he can be found inspiring other bakers with his curated online content through his digital platforms and on-camera appearances. In fact, he can be seen in this last season of ABC’s “The Great American Baking Show" and has appeared on Inside Edition, California Live, ABC's "On The Red Carpet," and was recently featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine for Pride Month.

As CEO of Betta With Butta, Chris believes he can "bake the world a betta place, one bite at a time." With charity at his core, Chris is constantly looking for ways to partner with local and national organizations to bring a smile and funds to people, communities and causes in need.

Rebecca Gade Sawicki created Veggies Abroad, to help people not only find great things to do and ways around cities around the globe but also find the best vegan food. It was borne from Rebecca's love of travel and the question she gets asked after every trip, “What in the world did you eat?!”

Aside from being vegan, Rebecca is gluten free and sensitive to a slew of things, so people assume once she leaves the house, starvation must occur. Rebecca wants to show people all the amazing vegan food the world has to offer, and that yes, she did eat!

Through her blog, Rebecca also wants to connect readers with the stories behind the amazing food with interviews from great vegan chefs and entrepreneurs. She hopes to share these stories to encourage new customers and give current customers a new level of appreciation of some of these terrific places.

Veggies Abroad is also a great resource for travel planning, including tips and resources. You can find out more at Veggies Abroad.

Todd Sinclair became a vegan author and activist, Todd Sinclair spent years leading travel groups in far-off places, a fitting occupation for someone who is now showing the way to a radical new approach to veganism. Todd’s journey to veganism began on a small Canadian dairy farm, and after winding his way literally around the world, he found its catalyst in a serious illness, contracted when he was thousands of miles from home. But it was during that desperate sickness - and in the loving presence of monks - that he found his healing and ultimately a new truth, by changing to a plant-based diet. And, although his good health lasted, the rest of the planet soon became sick with something else—Covid 19. The virus soon revealed what Todd had discovered for himself. Which is that the world is not sustainable as it is, and that the vegan way of life is the only viable and realistic choice for the future. That’s when Rebel Vegan Life was born.

Todd is fiercely committed to sounding the call for a vegan revolution, declaring that a vegan life is the only viable and realistic way forward for the future. His first three books—REBEL VEGAN LIFE:A Radical Take on Veganism for a Brave New World/ REBEL VEGAN LIFE: AnEssential Plant-Based Nutrition & Survival Guide/ REBEL VEGAN:Ultimate Travel Guide for Plant-Based Adventures in a Brave New World - are proof of that passion. In addition to being an activist and author, Todd also wears the labels (and apron!) of writer, podcaster, speaker, and self-taught chef. He currently calls London home and spends his leisure time searching for its hidden history.

As some of you may know I run a podcast production business called Bloody Vegans Productions. One of the podcasts I am fortunate enough to produce is the fantastic 'Think Like a Vegan Podcast', which is a companion to the incredible book of the same name authored by Emilia Leese & Eva Charalambides. The podcast is truly one of my favourite shows (despite rather than because of my involvement) & so I wanted to bring an episode of the show to you by way of introduction. You can subscribe to the show wherever you get podcasts & hear all 8 episodes of season 1 featuring Emilia & a host of fantastic guests.

A little about Emilia...

Emilia A. Leese, writes essays on life, travel and veganism for a variety of online publications and is closely involved in a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands. She regularly hosts benefit supper clubs and is a speaker on vegan ethics at a variety of events. She also developed life skills and ethics workshops for underserved youth. She has been a corporate finance lawyer for over twenty years. She and her husband Roger, who is also vegan, live in London and the Highlands. Follow her work on Emisgoodeating.com and BirchfieldHighlands.org

Think Like a Vegan episode show notes:

In this episode I talk about what "Veganism is for everyone" means. I break veganism down to its fundamental ethical component, show why it must be part of social justice discussions and demystify what it means to be an activist.

SIGN BELOW TO END ANIMAL TESTING

Across Europe, millions of animals are used every year in tests that frequently inflict suffering, which can be severe, but seldom deliver on their main promise, which is better health for humans. They include mice, fish, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs and monkeys.

This suffering must end – for the animals and for better medicine, better product safety and better environmental protection. But we urgently need your help.

If you are an EU citizen, you can end animal testing by signing the European Citizens’ Initiative.

It’s that simple.

On Sunday 11 September 2022, Kate and partner Kieren Windsor will leave bigmoose café in Cardiff and cycle anticlockwise around the circumference of Wales. The couple will be relying on the hospitality of strangers as they complete this tour.

Using bamboo, a renewable and carbon-effective product, for the bikes they have filed down themselves from six individual pieces, they hope companies and individuals will realise that we can change to a more sustainable way of living without compromising performance or activities.

They’re inviting cyclists to join them on the last section of their tour. The leg starts at 10am in Swansea on Saturday 9th July and they will pass through Cowbridge, Cardiff Bay (where cyclists can also join the leg) and finish at BigMoose cafe.

Kate, 43, only started training for athletic success in her early 30s following a relationship breakdown that forced her to re-evaluate her life and focus on her passions. Within two years she was crowned world champion in long-distance triathlon in 2014 and subsequently broke 3 world records in static cycling in 2021. Kieren, 49, has never participated in any solo sports and only recently took up cycling.

In addition to the Tour de Wales, on 5th June 2023 (World Environment Day), Kate Strong will embark on a 3-month cycle challenge covering over 3,000 miles cycle challenge around the circumference of England, Scotland and Wales. She will be cycling in the “red zone”, areas that are highly likely to be affected by sea level changes directly due to climate change.

During Challenge 3000, Kate will stop at 30 official locations and plant over 3,000 trees. She will also give talks and host workshops about sustainability and the simple changes we can make to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Kate says “Through Challenge 3000, I want to connect communities to nature and to each other. We all are being impacted by the climate crisis and my intention is to inspire people to work together and create a radical solution.”

Born in Sri Lanka, Hellenic and his family fled the war when he was 3 years of age, subsequently landing in Canada as refugees. Always an animal lover, he (along with his vegan wife and children) care for 14 animals both indoors and outdoors, including racoons, opossums, and squirrels. 

Hellenic credits his entrepreneurial spirit and ambition to his parents, who he watched run a successful furniture store. Early in his career, he gained a tremendous amount of professional event experience through the production of over 200 events (featuring notable artists like DJ Khaled, LeBron James, and French Mon-tana). Launching Vegandale was the next natural step in his career and mission.

Today, Hellenic leads a diverse team of 15 professionals, many of which left cushy jobs at major corporations - a testament to his vision and leadership capabilities.

“I’m an abolitionist vegan in that I believe we have a moral imperative to end animal exploitation entirely, full-stop. Most people find it unacceptable to advocate for a day or month to denounce racism, bullying or other injustices. Every day should be vegan.”

Helena Murphy is a professional photographer and videographer based in Bristol, specialising in food and product photography. She is also a weekly staff writer for online photography magazine, Fstoppers.

Helena is the co–founder of vegan sustainability magazine, Omnom, which was stocked at booksellers internationally, including Selfridges, Foyles, and The Tate Modern.

For more information, visit: https://helenarosemurphy.net/crohns-and-colitis-cookbook

Contact: Helena Murphy, author & photographer, helena.rose.murphy@gmail.com

Entrepreneur and food photographer and Crohn’s sufferer, Helena Murphy, releases The Plant-Based Crohn’s and Colitis Cookbook in January 2023.

This cookbook shares Murphy’s nutritious, easy-to-digest plant-based recipes created specifically for people suffering with Crohn’s and Colitis, based on her own experiences of living with and cooking for Crohn’s disease.

The cookbook contains over 70 recipes that incorporate dishes designed for maximum nutrition and ease of digestion. In The Plant-Based Crohn’s and Colitis Cookbook, you’ll find:

evidence-based research about plant-based diets in relation to IBD

suggestions for how to diversify a plant-based diet

a useful list of kitchen staples to buy in bulk

customisable recipe ideas for breakfasts, dips, sauces, salads, soups, curries, mains and more involved weekend dishes

flare-friendly recipes tagged, so that if you’re experiencing a bout of bad symptoms you can easily navigate to the recipes which are especially kind on your digestion.

As a food and product photographer, Murphy has created a visually bold, dynamic and playful cookbook to contrast the drudgery and tedium of living with this disease.

Her hope is to provide an inspiring go-to resource so that sufferers of IBD don’t have to wonder in frustration “what can I cook today?”

“I created this cookbook to be the resource that I needed, as a vegan, when I was first diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I had never heard of IBD when I received my diagnosis, and my IBD team focused largely on the medical aspect of treatment. I knew that I wanted to pursue a holistic approach to finding remission and that would include taking a close look at what I was eating,” says Murphy.

“I really hope this cookbook can help give other people ideas and inspiration if they aren’t sure where to start with their diet after receiving a diagnosis. This cookbook is a culmination of the recipes I have tried during times of mild flare, severe flare, and remission. Because this disease is so personalised, I have really tried to encourage people to use the recipes as a jumping off point so they can adapt the ingredients to what their bodies will tolerate.”

The Plant-Based Crohn’s and Colitis Cookbook goes on pre-sale for £17 on 1st December 2022 with the release on 3rd January 2023. It can be purchased on Amazon.

In her late 20's, Rachael J. Brown was diagnosed with high cholesterol. At first she was confused - she had always adopted what she thought was a healthy diet, but in just 17 days of trying a new WFPBNO diet her cholesterol dropped a whopping 50 points. What ensued was decades of discovery surrounding the science of nutrition. Today, she is certified in both nutrition and food and sustainability, and has dedicated her life to helping families easily transition away from the Standard American Diet. Her new book, For Fork's Sake, speaks to:

• WFPBNO...Without Going Crazy!: Rachael understands that the initial transition to a WFPBNO diet can be fraught with confusion and stress - she discusses ways to adopt a new shopping and cooking process that won't trigger anxiety
• Is It Worth It?: Transforming your entire outlook on food can be a huge undertaking. Rachael shares why putting in the effort can save you and your family from a myriad of diseases and health issues down the road
• Save Your Family, Save the Planet: A WFPBNO diet doesn't just benefit your family - Rachael discusses why the longevity of our planet depends on individuals refusing to cooperate with the mainstream food industry
• Prioritizing Comfort: Plant-based doesn't mean no fun! Rachael shares kid-approved comfort food recipes that they'll look forward to for years to come

Jess Karwat, Vegan women's health coach chats with me in this episode about her journey into veganism, toxic diet culture & how it has become entangled with 'plant based' social media culture & her view on finding vegan options around the world.

From Jess' site:

'As a certified vegan nutritionist, fitness trainer, yoga instructor and reiki master & having worked with over 200+ clients at this point, I have mastered the exact tools and techniques to help women thrive, get fit, learn how their beautiful bodies work by syncing with their menstrual cycle, heal their relationship with food and reclaim their confidence.

Before I started my career as an online coach, I had my own years of struggle. Not only did I have very bad hormonal acne all over my face, neck and back, I also had gut & digestive issues as well and I struggled with an eating disorder.

I KNEW THAT GOING VEGAN WAS GOING TO HELP ME WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES, BUT DIGGING DEEPER WAS WHAT REALLY DID THE TRICK.

I became a certified vegan nutritionist and fitness trainer and entered the world of fitness. Very quickly I realised that this world burnt me out, my hormonal imbalances got worse which in turn triggered my eating disorder. The entire time I would work completely against my body as I thought this was the only way to go. I would over exercise, under-eat, gain weight, feel bloated and I felt like I was stuck in a vicious cycle.

I remember at one point my mom took a picture of me in a bikini at the beach in Barcelona and I didn’t recognise myself. I looked bloated and nothing like me. I felt lost.

THE MOMENT I STARTED FOCUSING ON WORKING WITH MY BODY, HENCE WITH MY MENSTRUAL CYCLE AND FOCUSED ON HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT, THAT’S THE MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGED FOR ME.

Now after all of these years, endless research, self studies and certifications, I can finally say that I am looking the greatest I ever looked and I feel the best I have ever felt. I have fought my hormonal acne, my bloating and my eating disorder, I am feeling stronger than ever, physically and mentally and I finally feel in flow with my femininity and my menstrual cycle.

On top of that, I know that our actions are positively impacting not only the environment and the animals of the world, but hundreds of women from all around the world. If you are reading this, see this is a sign from the universe.'

Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate, Omega-3, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, Creatine, Collagen… the list goes on and on.

More than half of supplements contain animal-derived ingredients – and companies are not required to disclose them.

In fact, many US-based supplement brands use intentionally ambiguous wording, hiding the truth and misleading consumers on the origin of their ingredients.

We’re shedding light on the animal cruelty and environmental damage that fuels a highly-profitable industry – because nobody else is.

The United States dietary supplement industry kills an estimated 24 billion animals, while creating 1.8 billion plastic pill bottles of waste every year.

As consumers, we have the power to spark change, so we’re petitioning the FDA to implement more transparent regulations, which would mandate companies to disclose if their supplements contain animal byproducts.

We’re empowering fellow consumers so we can all make better, more informed decisions about what we’re purchasing and putting in our bodies. It’s as easy as signing your name.

This week I am joined by Maria Cebrian...

"As an avid long-distance mountain runner, Maria’s love and connection with nature was no secret. This sense of love for nature and its animals drove Maria towards veganism, which opened her eyes to the injustices that our planet and its animals face daily.

When Maria’s new vegan lifestyle started leaving some nutritional holes in her diet, she noticed a dip in her running performance. The last thing she wanted to do was compromise her vegan lifestyle, so she explored her options for supplements. To her surprise she couldn’t find a single sustainable multivitamin for vegans.

At that moment, she knew that had to change. So, Maria co-founded Terraseed - the all-in-one multivitamin that supports vegans and our environment."

Hannah Coyne, Campaigns Manager from The Vegan Society joins me on this week's episode to chat about The Vegan Society's 'Live Vegan for Less' campaign.

Many people still believe that vegan food is always more expensive than non-vegan food. Whilst some of the latest plant-based alternatives to meat and cheese are exciting, the cost can also add up. We know from experience that being vegan doesn’t have to break the bank. Live Vegan for Less aims to demonstrate a more cost-effective way of preparing nutritious vegan meals, showing that vegan living can be affordable for all.

A groundbreaking new documentary, They’re Trying to Kill Us, features notable leaders and influencers from the fields of Hip Hop, medicine, sports, entertainment, policy, and politics weighing in on the singular most deadly threat to American society.

ABOUT THE FILM

Co-directors John Lewis and Keegan Kuhn have teamed up to tell the untold story of the intersections of diet, disease, poverty, institutional racism, food deserts, government corruption and collusion with Big Food and the pharmaceutical industry. The film follows John from his upbringing in Ferguson, Missouri as he crisscrosses the country seeking answers from experts as to why Americans of Color are getting sick and dying from chronic diseases at often twice the rate of white Americans.

Along the way he speaks with Hip Hop artists and celebrities of Color who share their own, deeply personal experiences with how the historically poor diets that have been inflicted upon their community have led to a staggeringly high rate of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.

CAST

The film was co-directed by Keegan Kuhn (What The Health, Cowspiracy) and John Lewis (aka “Badass Vegan”) and features interviews with Hip Hop artists, celebrities and medical professionals such as Ne-Yo, Mya, Dame Dash, Cedric The Entertainer, Maggie Q, New York City Mayoral candidate Eric Adams, and Dr’s Milton Mills and Neal Barnard. They’re Trying to Kill Us also features exclusive interviews with NBA All-Star Chris Paul and multiple Grammy Award Winner Billie Eilish, who are both Executive Producers on the film.

RELEASE DETAILS

Eschewing a conventional release plan, They're Trying to Kill Us will be released at 11am EST on November 11 exclusively on the film's website https://www.theyretryingtokillus.com/. The price to download the film is $20.

Seeking a more efficient and equitable way to release the movie, the filmmakers are launching what they are calling a “Cooperative Release” of the film, giving participants in the documentary, supporters, and select influencers their own unique URL to the film's purchase page and splitting the profits 50/50 for the first week of release. On the filmmakers' side, they are giving their first $1,000,000 dollars raised directly to charity.

ABOUT THE PRODUCERS

JOHN LEWIS: Widely known by his social media handle, “Badass Vegan”, John Lewis is notorious for stoking conversations and debate with his critical views and memes on current issues. John has a large social media following and is a much sought-after public speaker and social and health activist who is accustomed to saying what’s on his mind. In doing so, audiences have responded to his fresh and unfiltered take on social issues.

KEEGAN KUHN: Co-director Keegan Kuhn is best known as the director behind the camera for the award-winning and hugely influential films on Netflix, Cowspiracy (executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio) and What The Health (executive produced by Joaquin Phoenix).

Kellogg’s Cornflakes, HUEL shakes, Marmite, Cow & Gate baby formula, Tesco’s plain flour, Soreen Bars, Sainsbury’s Orange Juice, Oatly Oat Milk, Nutri-Grain Bars, Slimfast… 

All of these products have one thing in common. They contain synthetic (not natural) vitamins and minerals. 

What are the synthetic vitamins made of? Do they work like natural vitamins? Are there negative side effects? The clinically proven answers to these questions might surprise you.

With £500k of UK government funding - one  startup, BIOVIT,  and  a team of scientists are comparing the effects of synthetic vs plant-derived nutrients. Synthetic nutrients, that are in all fortified foods, which over 80% of us consume daily, have been shown to have limited to no effect, and in some cases increase cancer risk.

Recent article in ‘Food Navigator’ here

The fall out of this could have major impacts on food labelling, nutrition guidance, human health, and food production sustainability. With Governments globally being lobbied by companies such as Safe Food Advocacy Europe on broader use of synthetic ingredients, it’s only a matter of time before all certified natural and plant based foods are banned from using synthetic nutrients for good. SAFE’s campaign here. 

The vitamins lurking in your everyday corn flakes are not the wholesome nutrients nature intended, instead, they are lab-made vitamin analogues, often made using unsettling ingredients such as coal tar, cattle brains, and a cocktail of harmful chemicals. These artificial impostors, known as 'synthetic nutrients,' are not identical to natural nutrients. They are missing essential enzymes and cofactors required for absorption and use by the body, and there is a growing body of clinical research that indicates they do not work and may even increase the risk of cancer. 

Highly regarded website Healthline outlines key differences between synthetic and natural nutrients, and lists a large body of evidence showing adverse health effects. “Synthetic nutrients from supplements and fortified foods may have deleterious effects on health, especially when used in high doses” 

BIOVIT are the UK’s leading experts in plant-derived nutrients for food. They have developed the world’s first clinically developed and tested plant-derived multinutrient blends that can replace synthetic multinutrients,  for use in food manufacture. Now, alongside Professor Richard Bracken and his team at Swansea University, they are conducting first-of-its-kind research into the bioavailability and efficacy of plant-derived vs synthetic nutrients. 

Ex-CEO of the ‘Vegan Friendly’ certification and founder of vegan rugby club Green Gazelles Brendon Bale commented:

“Consumers of plant based and natural products value transparency and trust most of all… synthetic micronutrients are neither natural or made of plants, and so the labelling needs to declare that. It’s about health and trust”. 

Ky Wright, founder of BIOVIT, suggests the shift to natural nutrients should be common sense for the food giants: 

“Independent surveys have shown that over half of the public are generally unaware that foods they eat contain synthetic nutrients. They also show that a heavy majority (90%) would prefer their fortified foods to contain only natural nutrients, and 86% would pay more. There’s a massive opportunity here for food companies and consumers.”

Dana Burton is the founder of Vegan Kids UK...

As Dana explains over on www.vegan-kids.org

"When we asked people why they wanted a community like ours – these quotes were their answers. I knew I wasn’t alone!

As a Vegan parent, I felt my kids were somehow missing out on things and it just wasn’t fair.

I wanted them to feel empowered and to know they are part of something much bigger and then the idea for the Vegan Kids festival began.

After a farmer and villagers put a stop to our first year, it really sent me back to the drawing board. I still wanted to create this community but finding willing farmers and suitable venues was a nightmare. AND well then COVID hit. so that really put a stop to all our plans.

I put the idea on the back burner, and focused on other things. but soon my calling was getting louder in my ear and I started offering online kids sessions every Saturday.

I realised the Kids festival doesn’t need to be the only thing we do to connect Vegan kids. There are lots of ways we can.

So I went back to the drawing board and started the Kids community on Facebook, then I got one of my favourite things a notepad and started jotting down ideas.

They just kept coming.

I want to create a group where Vegan Kids can explore, share, create, learn, make friends and most importantly have fun.

I’m well aware I can’t do this all alone and hope to form many partnerships, to enable us to help other vegan organisations and businesses.

As for the future, this is something I want to focus on, longer term the BIG dream is to have a Vegan kids retreat, where kids can come to learn and play, enough land to hold our own vegan kids festival, rescue any animals that need it and a cool eco village where people can stay, volunteer and play.

Until we get there, we want to create lots of experiences for vegan kids, both online and in person, We’re only limited by our imagination.

Some of the ideas I have for the future include, retreats, family holidays, group outings, conservation holidays, residentials for kids, activist club.

Thank you for reading a bit more about vegan kids and our plans for the future, I hope to see you at some point on the journey!"
