Are Almonds Suitable for Vegans? (Rebroadcast)

March 19, 2022 14:48 - 33 minutes - 45.8 MB

Should I eat foie gras because my organic kale was grown in soil amended with chicken manure? Should I eat steak and chicken wings because fruits and nuts are pollinated by insects?

Animal-Related Expressions: Choosing Compassionate Cliches Over Violent Idioms

February 25, 2022 14:02 - 45 minutes - 62.7 MB

A culture’s language reflects the values of that society, and our shared use of that language reflects our agreement with those values. Today I examine how our use of common idioms and proverbs denigrates animals and contributes to our violence against them — and offer some compassionate versions to replace the more violent ones. Every time we open our mouths, we have the opportunity to reflect kindness and compassion; or we have the potential to reflect violence.  My hope is that we asp...

Plant-based options are exploding in such fast food restaurants as Burger King, KFC, Carl's Jr., and White Castle as well as fast casual  restaurants like Chipotle, Pizza Hut, and Panda Express.
