This week on the podcast we go through 8 vegetables and fruits that you can substitute for meat! Wanting to try to which to a more whole foods vegan diet, these substitutes will help you get there. Learn about the shapeshifting abilities of eggplant and mushrooms, the meaty texture of jackfruit and walnuts, or how seaweed can make banana blossoms taste like fish!

I was luckily enough this week to interview Chris Huriwai from Aotearoa (so-called New Zealand) 

Chris is an activist, content creator, co-founder of the Aotearoa liberation league and three-time street unicycle world champion. 

Chris also works with the vegan society and he is the co-producer and main narrator of the recent documentary film MILKED that takes a targeted looked at the New Zealand dairy industry. It came out in November last year and has already taken out awards at the Germany international film festival, the IndieFEST film awards and the Spotlight Documentary film awards. 

And even received a rave from James Cameron who called it “A powerful wake up call that the world is getting milked” 

Chris and I talked about online activism, bringing humour into the conversation, vegan content on Tik Tok, YouTube and Facebook. We also touched on decolonalising diets and practicing intersectional veganism. 

Welcome back soybeans! This week on the podcast I take you through my favourite vegan skincare products and the brands that make them!

We discuss the difference between vegan brands and cruelty-free brands in the skincare and make up world, we touch on what happens with animal testing and how we can do our part to end this cruel practice. And I run you through my vegan skincare regimen.

This week on the podcast I am joined by my favourite co-host Daniel Johnson and we review five different vegan chocolate brands, discussing the companies, the sustainability and the flavours. This episode was inspired by Lindt releasing their vegan chocolate brand, anti is one of the five we review.
