Welcome to the 367th episode of Our Hen House!
Mariann welcomes Eddie Garza, Senior Manager of Food and Nutrition at the Humane Society of the United States. Eddie is a leader in the movement to reform food systems in Latino communities and his ¡Salud! Vegan Mexican Cookbook is full of creative recipes for all levels. He talks about his outreach, latest successes, and – of course – food!
Jasmin interviews Katie Cantrell, founder and Executive Director of the Factory Farming Awareness Coalition (FFAC), an educational non-profit committed to empowering people to save the environment, animals, and their own health through their food choices.
Mariann covers News and – your favorite – Rising Anxieties!
As always, the award-winning weekly Our Hen House podcast is hosted by Mariann Sullivan and Jasmin Singer.
This episode is brought to you in part through the generosity of 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.
