  1. Great “on the fly” podcast. Without the intro, no one would have been the wiser. Charles Stahler and the VRG continue be quiet heroes in the vegan movement. I was especially thankful that the political leanings of vegans was discussed, as it doesn’t happen nearly enough. As a left-leaning centrist vegan married to a retired Air Force officer and avowed conservative vegan, I find myself considering this often. The movement, the animals need all of us regardless of political affiliation and we really can’t afford short-sighted biases. Few people even attempt to bridge this apparent chasm, and Victoria, I do sincerely appreciate every time you’ve approached it.

    1. Thanks, Cyndi. I have always seen that veganism expresses the best in both liberal and conservative thinking. It deals with care of others and concern for the oppressed, important values for people on the Left, and it deals with self-determination, freedom of choice, and making one’s own way, deeply held tenets of the Right. It seems to me like something even Congress ought to be able to agree on!
