Listen to my conversation with World Vegan Travel founder Brighde Reed about how joyful and abundant it is to travel when compassion is your compass. We discuss vegan travel to Italy, Rwanda, Vietnam, Cambodia, Botswana, South Africa, France, Japan, and more. Join us on a Joyful Vegan Trip!

In this special bonus episode, Brighde and I answer such questions as:

How do you choose the vegan trips you do?
How do you vet the places you go and know that no animals are being harmed or exploited by human presence?
Is there such a thing as eco-tourism?
What are some of the mishaps you’ve experienced on your trips?
Why are they called CPG Trips?
What are the advantages of group travel?
How does Brighde spoil every New Year’s Eve, according to Colleen?
What countries do you really want to visit?

Jim Crow and Zip Coon: The Animals in Racial Stereotypes

Posted in Food For Thought Podcast.

Jim Crow has become such a familiar term — as in Jim Crow Laws or the Jim Crow South or the Jim Crow Era — that it’s easy to miss the animal — in this case…the crow inside the phrase.

How did the crow come to be associated with a repressive system of segregationist laws that hindered and harmed black men and women for decades after the Civil War?

What is the story behind this animalogy? Listen to this episode to find out!

Eat By Color

Posted in Food For Thought Podcast.

In this episode I explain why message for eating healthfully can be narrowed down into three little words: eat by color. The pigments in plant foods are a key to their nutritional benefits.

BANANA OAT “COOKIES”
These couldn’t be more simple and more delicious. There is no added fat, no added sugar — only the protein, nutrients, and natural sweetness from the banana and cinnamon. Mash up 1 banana in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup oats (quick-cooking or rolled), some cinnamon, and a dash of salt. Use a spoon to drop 4 cookie-shaped dollops onto a parchment-lined baking tray, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes until they are a golden brown. (I just use my toaster oven.) Let cool (or not!), and enjoy. (I’ve also made variations where I press a couple blueberries in before baking!!)
