Hey Pickles!

Well, did you have global Microsoft outage on your 2000 bingo card? Neither did we!

Due to the outage, Christine's Sister & her husband were unable to fly home. Christine has been pet sitting for them, and needs to extend her stay out of town.

This means she was unable to make it back to the Ol' Compassion & Cucumbers studio so that we could record a new episode!

We're releasing this replay of Ep 104 of the show. This episode is worth another listen as we discuss the ways that the dairy industry is influencing youth!

We also talk about a student that joins a law suit against the USDA, and her school district after her school prevented her from handing out information about the effects of dairy on the heath of her fellow students.

We have a recipe from our From Our Vegan Kitchen series that's near & dear to Christine's heart.

We also have a Listener Shout Out, and all the usual shenanigans that you've come to know & love (hopefully 😊)

Thanks so much for your understanding in this situation, and enjoy the episode!

We'll talk to you NEXT TUESDAY!

Love, Sam & Christine

Hey Pickles!

We hope you're well. We have an important episode for you this week.

In our Noteworthy segment, we'll tell you about a controversial mega dairy in Oregon that has been decommissioned. It's good news, but this dairy has left behind a wake of environmental damage.

Our Main Topic this week explores how we, as vegans, need to not only focus on the liberation of the animals in the animal ag industry, but we should be working also to liberate the people forced to work in the industry.

Our Vegan Org of the Week is Vegan Forum. Check it out here: https://www.veganforum.org

Our Restaurant SOS goes out to Strong Hearts in Syracuse & Buffalo NY! This is one of our favorite vegan spots, and we were thrilled to see that they were nominated by listener, Michelle V!

We have a new Listener Shout Out, some calls to action for you, and a good does of our usual hilarity.

Thank you so much for spending a little time out of your day with us. We really appreciate you!

Love, Sam & Christine

Hey Pickles!

We hope this episode finds you well.

Fair warning: There is talk of animal abuse in this episode.

Our Main Topic this week is the incredible investigation done by Animal Rising into the fraud that is the RSPCA Assurance Scheme. The RSPCA is supposed to be looking out for the welfare of animals, but has fraudulently approved the conditions on many farms in England and Scotland. Through the brave investigative work of Animal Rising, these farms have been found to have deplorable conditions. They found sick and dying animals, animals in overcrowded and confined conditions, and a multitude of severe infractions to the very laws that the RSPCA is supposed to be upholding.

We urge you to read their thorough report here: https://www.animalrising.org/_files/ugd/80f7b1_312aaf59f84e462fa13ae8d355c2cf02.pdf
Watch their video on the investigation here: https://youtu.be/OfM5VRMl7wk?si=ugxeciX0vfLisytv

Our Noteworthy segment is a much lighter subject. We talk about the recent news that competitive eater, Joey Chestnut was disqualified from the famous Nathan's hot dog eating contest after he took a sponsorship from a vegan brand.

We have a new recipe from our Vegan Cookbook Challenge! This week we make a bok choy recipe out of Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero.
