Ep 65 of the podcast out now

This podcast has become enjoyable for me.

Yes, it is another thing to do each week but I truly find it a pleasant experience. I get to chat with Josh once a week about topics of interest and we get to be uncensored in our opinions.

Our viewer/listener numbers aren’t through the roof but that isn’t important to us. The pod has become a hobby and a way for us to genuinely catch up.

If there are a few people out there getting a bit of entertainment from it, that’s a bonus!

Episode 65 finds us discussing the rise of the Green Party of England and Wales, London police involved in bad behaviour, and necrosis.

Why I Won’t Be Buying Redefine Meat

Being vegan isn’t just about what’s on my plate. For me, it’s about broader compassion and consistency. It’s about trying to make the world a little less cruel for everyone who lives in it. That’s not an easy task, and it’s something I get wrong from time to time.

But it’s also something I keep trying to do.

Read more below.

When I learned about Redefine Meat’s public support for the Israeli military, I wanted to make a personal choice. This isn’t about a difference of opinion or a grey area in global politics. This is about a company that chose to donate its products directly to the IDF during one of the most devastating humanitarian crises in history. That’s not neutrality. That’s taking a side.

The more I read, the worse it felt. The company has received funding from the Israeli government, and in my opinion its public actions have aligned with a narrative that paints Israel as progressive and compassionate while Palestinians continue to suffer under bombardment, occupation, displacement, and genocide. Some people call this veganwashing, the use of a cruelty-free image to distract from cruelty elsewhere. And honestly, that label feels fitting.

Boycotts are complicated. I know that. We live in a globalised world where our purchases are tied up in so many systems that it can feel impossible to make every choice perfectly ethical. But we all draw our own lines. For me, this one is clear. I can’t hand over my money to a company that actively supports military action. I can’t celebrate a product made in the name of compassion for animals while ignoring the suffering of human beings.

Choosing not to buy Redefine Meat isn’t about purity or moral superiority. It’s about alignment. If my veganism means anything, it has to mean compassion that stretches beyond species, borders, and politics. It has to mean looking at the world and asking how I can make choices that feel humane. For animals, for people, and for the planet.

There are so many incredible vegan companies doing good work without this sort of compromise. That’s where my money will go. Because the more we expand our compassion, the more powerful it becomes.

Vegan Feast in London on Xmas Day

Christmas can a weird time for vegans.

We often want to participate in the festivities and rituals, but to do so means being faced with a lot of animal-derived foods. On a day supposedly about kindness and compassion, it can feel extremely challenging to sit across from people who are devouring multiple types of animals.

To make your Christmas Day celebration a lot more bearable, a legendary vegan restaurant in London has announced a spectacular menu meaning you can eat, relax, and enjoy your celebration without worrying about people waving bones in your face.

Goodbye London Vegan Social

The time has come to say goodbye to London Vegan Social.

This monthly event has been part of my life for about four years, but in truth, it was the continuation of something I’ve been doing for more than a decade. From the early days of London Vegan Drinks and London Vegan Potluck right through to the present, these gatherings have been a huge part of my life. They’ve been places where friendships were formed, collaborations were born, and where kindness was always on the menu.

Please Consider The Green Party

The Green Party of England and Wales has been a powerful force for years but since Zack Polanski was elected leader in a landslide, the energy has shifted up a few gears.

This isn’t the usual political noise we’ve all grown weary of. It’s a clear, hopeful message that cuts through the mess of greed and despair that has dominated our politics for far too long.

And I’m hopeful that many of you you will will consider voting Green at the next opportunity.
