Episode 8: “The truth will set you free, but first …”

Welcome to the eighth podcast episode of Our Hen House!

In today’s episode, we will discuss our current flirtation with yoga, and the importance of finding a way to take care of your body that comports with your values. We will also chat about how fur is all the rage — which can set off your own rage and lead to some very bad activism. What to do, what to do, what to do …

Then, we will talk about how being laughed at isn’t the worst thing in the world. It could mean you’re getting somewhere.

Joining us today is Gary Lowenthal, the man behind the new phenomenon that is the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale. Be prepared to be inspired to get out your baking tools.

In the news, we will be talking about some nasty developments in the world of farm animals and how factory farms are regulated — plus one potentially exciting development in Switzerland. We will also discuss the oxymoronic Humane Slaughter Act,  and some attention being paid to its poor enforcement.

Finally we will review our own personal take on going raw.
