We made history running the very first vegan group trip to Japan, and it was a huge success.

In this first episode, I provide a frame through which to understand the challenges and the threads of eating plant-based in Japan, including the influence of Buddhism and other factors that resulted in a mostly plant-based culture for most of its history

Abstaining from meat, dairy, and eggs during religious holidays has been a tradition for centuries in many religions.

2023/11/24

Many people think of “veganism” as a new reactionary trend against what we call factory farming, but for centuries, men and women have been thinking about, writing about, and expressing distress over the violence inherent in killing animals for human use and consumption.
