Meat, Vegetarians, Look but don’t leer

This week, Toronto Vegetarian Association podcast host Liam joins us to talk about mulloscs, PETA, lab meat, and that magical line between “appreciating beauty and being a dirty old man.”

Joseph LeBlanc, along with Foodshare from Toronto, is setting up a regular line of affordable produce that will be flown for sale in Fort Albany, a community far north of Timmins. So it is possible to get fruit and veggies up there without costing an arm and a stomach.

In his happy thought of the day, Myles mentions Retraction by This American Life, a very apologetic, yet reliably awesome program.
