Episode 334: Israeli Food Activist Ori Shavit

Welcome to the 334th episode of Our Hen House! Mariann Sullivan interviews Israeli food critic, blogger, and animal rights activist Ori Shavit. Her site, Vegans on Top, will soon have more pages in English, but for now you can enjoy a number of her great recipes. As always, the award-winning, weekly Our Hen House podcast is hosted by us — Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan. (Jasmin’s on the road again this month, so be sure to check out the latest from her book tour at jasminsinger.com.)
 

This episode is sponsored by A Well-Fed World. A Well-Fed World is a hunger relief and animal protection organization chipping away at two of the world’s most immense, unnecessary and unconscionable forms of suffering… the suffering of people hungry from lack of food, and the suffering of animals used and abused for food. Mending our unjust food system is a critical part of solving the world’s most destructive and persistent problems. Fortunately, the plant-based foods that promote health and well-being are the same foods that conserve resources to better feed the world, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the environment. A Well-Fed World provides the means for change by empowering individuals, social justice organizations, and political decision makers to embrace the benefits of plant-based foods and farming.

Of course, there’s vegan banter, news, and plenty of “Rising Anxieties,” too!
