The News
This week marks the return of the bearded duo from their winter break! As they wipe the crust out of their eyes they recount tales from their break, including what they’ve been eating, and then dive into the latest news such as Bill Gates funding “super cows” and the dairy industry’s attempts to climb back into relevance. The episode concludes with an in depth discussion around whether or not vegan restaurants should ban fur from their establishments. While some vegans want these restaurants to be a safe haven, others think welcoming in fur-wearers is the way to go. They’ll cover all the angles!
