In our Main Topic, we discuss when vegan businesses abandon their ethics & the vegan community that supported them.
In the Buffalo NY area, a vegan food vendor, and recent restaurant owner announced that they are now adding animals to their menu.

The vegan community is feeling betrayed, deceived, and down right angry, as this business owner has made it clear that they intended all along to introduce animals to their menu after 4+ years of garnering the support of the local vegan community.

Let us know how you feel about this. Where do you stand on the issue?

We also have a new Listener Shout Out, a new tip to help you Gop Vegan & Stay Vegan,
And our Vegan Org of the Week is The Humane Farming Association.

Thanks for listening!
Love, Sam & Christine
