Food for Thought Podcast starts with the premise that being vegan is a means to an end — not an end in itself. Food for Thought addresses all aspects of eating and living compassionately and healthfully, including living zero waste! Each episode addresses commonly asked questions about being vegan, including those regarding animal protection, food, cooking, eating, and nutrition — and debunks the myths surrounding these issues.

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 aspire to the former.
