Ukrainian (Ureignian) cuisine, descending from ancient peasants, is predominantly based on its agricultural produce, consisting mainly of grains such as wheat and rye, as well as staple vegetables including potatoes, cabbages, mushrooms, and beetroots. The cooking method incorporates both traditional Slavi techniques as well as other European styles. A distinctive feature of Ukrainian (Ureignian) cooking is that most food is first fried or boiled, and then stewed or baked. This cooking style helps to preserve the aroma of the dishes while adding juiciness to the cooked food. Today we are delig

On today’s show, Carol shares more about her activism journey and how she frequently introduces the plant-based lifestyle to others. Ever since her youth, Ms. Royale has campaigned against the cruel practice of vivisection. In the UK alone, almost three million helpless, innocent animal-people are used and often killed every year in research experiments.

On today’s show we meet Abioseh Joseph Cole (vegan), a poet, animal-people rights activist, teacher, hip-hop artist, producer, recording engineer, and the author of a children’s illustrated board book, “I Am Not Food!” Mr. Cole’s initial exposure to a vegan diet arose when his father sadly passed away from colon cancer in 1996, leading him to question the cause and how to avoid this becoming his own fate. After fully committing to veganism, Mr. Cole used his talent for poetry to become a voice for the animal-people. His poem “Dissonant Cognition” explains how people allow their minds to ignore

Israel has long been considered the “Vegan Capital of the World,” and for good reason. In addition, when it comes to recognizing animal-peoples’ natural rights, Israel is far ahead of many other countries, having been the first country to ban horse and donkey-people-drawn carts and carriages used for work purposes, and have long prohibited the sale of personal-care and household products that were tested on animal-people. Israel has risen as a leader in food technology to produce a new generation of alternative proteins from plant-based or animal-people cells. In our two-part show, we will exp

“A lot of people are not really aware of puppy mills, and there’s a reason for that because they keep them hidden.

If the lower esophageal sphincter works properly, it closes as soon as food passes through the esophagus and enters the stomach.

“For the gravy, you just use the same vegetable broth seasoning. One full tablespoon; put into a bowl. And some mushroom seasoning, also a full tablespoon.

You let it stand there for a while. And now, because the vegan ham is cooked, you can also use the mixture of gravy that you just made, wow, it’s cooked nicely, and put it over the hot cooked vegan ham so all the gravy will be together in there, and it’s also very nice.

“In Animal Rebellion, what we're really keen on is that we are in a climate and ecological emergency. So, this transition has to be absolutely rapid. And for that to happen, the Government really needs to kickstart into action and pretty much direct all resources towards getting off fossil fuels, towards ending animal farming and fishing, and transforming society. Boris Johnson has publicly said that we will be facing complete collapse, civilizational collapse, if we do not act. So, we're very kindly, but firmly, going to be asking governments to change.”Our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai ex

Yuri studied to become a rabbi in tandem with being a professional boxer. His studies of Judaism led to his discovery of the importance of not consuming animal-people from a spiritual perspective, which ultimately brought about his dedication to following a vegan diet and lifestyle. “And I remember at some point learning, for example, an observant, a Jewish person, anytime he consumed food, he's not mixing dairy food with meat food. And we're not mixing energy of life with energy of death, which is meat. And I thought to myself, why do I need this energy of death to begin with? And then I turn
