   Is white sugar vegan? Plus: I'm a fake vegan.

   White sugar is, in the US and Canada, often processed with bone char, aka “bone charcoal”, which is made from cow bones. Can you believe that!? In this episode, we’ll unpack this, and will talk about 3 major topics: First: white sugar. Is it vegan? Arguments for AVOIDING white sugar. Arguments for CONSUMING white sugar. Or better phrased: why you should look at veganism from the perspective of what you can do realistically. NOTE: At 9:13 I said “do I buy white sugar? No!” I meant to say: “do I buy ORGANIC white sugar? No!” Sorry for the mix up 😅 // 💡EMAIL LIST - Tips, Q&A, and recipes. Sent to your inbox.

    Are you contributing to animal cruelty if you split the bill? On sharing a meal with non-vegans.

    Should you split the bill with non-vegans when you go out to eat? Ask any non-vegan this, and they'll most likely shrug and say "ya, why not?". But ask any vegan this question, and you've started a conversation! It's not a big deal for non-vegans to split the bill, but when you go vegan, even little things like going out to eat with friends can suddenly become an anxiety inducing event. In this episode, I share: 1. My progression from never splitting the bill, to being happy splitting the bill with non-vegans. 2. Tactics on how to split the bill while minimizing any awkwardness. 3. Why splitting the bill with your non-vegan friends isn't as bad, ethically, as you might think. Finally, I was dealing with allergies while recording.

    I tried going vegan but I was always hungry. A common excuse to keep eating meat?

    I tried going vegan, but I was always hungry. This is one of the most common responses I get when people learn that I'm vegan. It's like this is one of the set of 3 possible responses people will say! Whether it's an excuse for stopping veganism or not, it's VERY common to feel hungry when you first go vegan. But with a few small adjustments, you will never go hungry again! This episode has 3 main takeaways: 1. If you're trying to go vegan but you're always hungry: eat MORE, eat DIFFERENT, but also, eat the SAME as you did before you went vegan. 2. How to know when to talk to a medical professional. 3. If you tried to go vegan but you were always hungry, you probably just went plant based. Finally, I was dealing with allergies while recording.

    Why 84% of vegans quit. Plus: non conventional tips on how to actually stay vegan!

    84% of vegans quit. This is a huge number. On the one hand, it's sad. On the other, it's comforting. Going vegan is HARD! In this episode, we'll discuss my hypothesis of why vegans quit: they're burnt out! Burn out is a real phenomenon. Recognizing that it exists is an incredible first step in treating and ideally PREVENTING it. This episode has 3 main takeaways: 1. If you're thinking of quitting veganism: you might just be burnt out! 2. Tips on how to prevent burn out, and treat it when you get to that point. 3. Why you should focus on WHY you're vegan as your anchor. Finally, I was dealing with allergies while recording. That's why I sound so stuffed up! // 💡EMAIL LIST - Tips, Q&A, and recipes.

She discusses how you are so much more than your veganism, why it’s important to have empathy for our non-vegan friends and family, and how being gentle and friendly is (somewhat surprisingly) a great form of activism. // 💡EMAIL LIST - Tips, Q&A, and recipes.

    My family won't let me go vegan.

    Do you have that one family member (or multiple) who won't accept your veganism? Because Serena sure does: her grandparents. Despite having been meat-free for 16 years and vegan for 11, Serena's grandparents still on occasion ask her to eat "just a little bit of meat". But it comes from a place of love. In this episode, Serena and Tim discuss why going vegan is a big change for your family, how to get your family to accept your veganism, and how to deal with family members that will never accept it. // 💡EMAIL LIST - Tips, Q&A, and recipes.
