I’ve always been someone who cared too much. I have a hard time ignoring things once they’re in front of my eyes, no matter who are what it may relate too.
When I was a kid I ate whatever my parents put in front of me and did not question it for the most part. I [...]

Thank you, thank you for your terrific podcast. I have been a vegetarian for about 6 weeks. It has been a slow, long process to get to this point. I’ve always been a picky meat eater, never eating veal or rabbit, more fish than chicken, but I did enjoy foie gras until [...]

I was a vegetarian for about 10 years before finally taking the vegan plunge this summer, and have always been proud of my choice not to eat animals. The notion of veganism was a niggling presence in the back of my mind, but I told myself that I “couldn’t” do it for [...]

I have always considered myself an animal lover. We always had at least one cat while I was growing up, and sometimes we had a dog too. I thought of animal suffering in terms of dogs and cats — being run over and left in the street, or euthanized at the pound, or killed for [...]

I first became a vegetarian for the obvious health benefits, but soon learned of the cruelty and injustice inherent in the meat industry. I was devastated to think that I had been supporting such cruelty for the majority of my life.
I became a vegetarian in February, and was happy to discover your podcast about a [...]

Shalom! My name is Itai and I listen to your podcasts here in Tel Aviv. I’m currently a graduate student reading History, but for ages I was a kibbutznik (a member of a collective Israeli farm). On the kibbutz, I worked with children (one of only two men to do so) and I worked in [...]
