Hey Pickles!

We're back with a new episode!

This week in our The Y Files segment, we talk about the ethics implications of people cloning their companion animals.

Our Noteworthy this week is a disappointing story about how Rebel Cheese in Austin Texas has been accused of union busting.

Here's the article that we reference: https://www.themirror.com/news/weird-news/i-cloned-cat-25000-because-1229491

Here's a link to the Go Fund Me for the workers: https://www.gofundme.com/f/laid-off-rebel-cheese-workers-facing-retaliation

In our Main Topic, we discuss how so called wellness culture is actually hurting the vegan movement.

Here's a link to the video that got us thinking about this: https://youtu.be/JXv4NiWO2F0?si=MNoQSDnzRLjpgaZk

Our featured vegan spot in our Assignment Restaurant SOS this week is the Tampa Florida based Florish Plant Based Eats. We'll tell you all about their delicious sounding menu!

We also have a new Listener Shout Out! Is it you?

Thank you so much for listening to the show. We couldn't;t do this without you, and we wouldn't want to!

Much love, 

Sam & Christine
