The Vegan ReportWhy Chickens Don't Belong in your Backyard. "Does eating eggs from your backyard chickens vegan?" This question just accepts the premise that owning backyard chickens in the first place is acceptable. Maybe if you own lots of land in a rural area, where farming already takes place. But this idea that vegans from the city or the suburbs can totally adopt rescue hens, put them in their small backyards and, in fact, we should give that a cool name - like micro sanctuary- is totally wrong. It means we have accepted that this is the new normal. That this cultural battle was lost, despite...

The Vegan ReportAre Vegans Neurodivergent? With Sabina Bravo | Ep. 88Today, we are promoting neurodiversity. Maybe it's the first time you are hearing about neurodiversity.

The Vegan ReportThank You, Trump?! With Liam Gray | Ep. 78In light of recent news that the Trump administration is scaling back animal experimentation across various levels of government, such as the National Institute of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency and even the military, it is time to put to rest this idea that conservatives do not care about animals or have no place in the animal protection movement.I believe that anyone willing to advance this cause and put an end to the bloody business of animal exploitation, indiscriminately of religion, culture, race, ethnicity or something as trivial as political inclinations, should be welcomed and supported...

Constant excruciating reminders of the violence of animal cruelty from movies, tv-series, ads, your social media feed.

If you are someone like me who thinks abortion should be legal but goes as far as not to even kill mosquitoes, than this issue hits home.But more than that, this book is the proof that the secular vegan...

The Vegan ReportOur Plant-Based Ancestors. With Dr. Hadar Ahituv | Ep. 68For decades, we've held a clear and widely accepted picture of what prehistoric humans were like. Central to that narrative is the belief that they followed a so-called "Paleo diet"—a diet consisting of whole foods, heavily focused on animal proteins, while avoiding grains and legumes.However, a groundbreaking study published this year challenges that claim. According to this research, our ancestors' diets were predominantly plant-based, including grains and legumes. This revelation suggests that early humans might have been more accurately described as gatherer-hunters rather than hunter-gatherers.How did such a misconception about prehistoric humans ar...

The Vegan ReportVeganism is Not Capitalism. With Miyoko Schinner | Ep. 65I have always equated the success of the plant based alternatives market with the success of the vegan cause.
