An upbeat and lively podcast today with Eric Day, filmmaker of Vegan: Everyday Stories, and food and fitness maven, Ellen Jaffe Jones, whose latest book is Vegan Fitness for Mortals.

Eric’s info:

Vegan: Everyday Stories examines the lives of four real-life vegans: a 9-year-old activist, an ultra marathoner who over came trauma and addiction, a Texan who turned her husband’s cattle ranch into a farmed animal sanctuary, and a Santa Rosa food truck proprietor who makes vegan culinary magic on wheels. This film is available free online. You can find links to the film on iTunes and Amazon at the website.
