Ep 156 Animal Advocacy & Grief - New USDA Rules For Student Lunches - A Meatless Raffle!

Hey Pickles!

We hope this finds you well!

This week, we tell you all about a recent fundraiser that we sponsored for Penelope's Place Sanctuary. It was a meatless raffle, and it was so much fun!!

In our Noteworthy segment, we take a look at the new USDA rules for student lunches, and discuss how it affects kid's access to vegan options.
Here are the rules:

Our Main Topic this week is Avoiding Grief, a piece written by animal law expert and fellow podcaster, Mariann Sullivan.
She explores how the knowledge of animal suffering in the animal agriculture industry affects advocates & non advocates alike.

Here is a link to her Substack article:

We also feature a new restaurant in our Vegan Restaurant SOS series, we have a Vegan Org of the Week, a Listener Shout Out, and more!

Thank you so much for listening!

Love, Sam & Christine
