The Vegan Report ·

2025/04/29

Back in 2016, Sherry Colb and Michael Dorf published one of the most thought provoking book in the animal rights world. It is called beating hearts, and it attempts to resolve a challenging question: How can you condemn hunting, animal farming, and animal experimentation while also favoring legal abortion, which is the deliberate destruction of a human fetus? 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

Our Plant-Based Ancestors. With Dr. Hadar Ahituv |...

The Vegan Report ·

2025/03/18

For 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

Way back then, I remember how Israel was looked at very favorably by vegans. One media outlet called it "the global center of veganism". Online, I remember the many popular videos of Gary Yourofsky being interviewed on Israeli TV, always with Hebrew subtitles.But since October of last year, since the brutal attacks and kidnappings perpetrated by Hamas, and then the violent retaliation of Israel, something shifted in the vegan movement. And I witnessed internal conflict not about how effective

Veganism is Not Capitalism. With Miyoko Schinner |...

The Vegan Report ·

2025/02/18

I have always equated the success of the plant based alternatives market with the success of the vegan cause. If more tasty products come replacing meat, dairy and egg, than veganism is winning. Or is it? Today's guest, Miyoko Schinner, vegan icon and successful entrepreneur, made me think twice about that assumption.

It is said that "money is the nerve of war", and in the war of making a better world for animals, the same rule applies. The only reason why professional vegan nonprofits, such as Mercy for Animals, PETA, the Paul Watson Foundation or SASHA Farm, exist and thrive is because of money. And that money does not grow on trees: it is the result of extensive fundraising efforts.And for today's episode, my wish is for vegan organizations, both big and small, to become champions of fundraising.

There is a strong, impactful and clear Christian argument for veganism, and my hope was for Christspiracy to successfully make that argument to the Christian community.
