Podcast 254: I�m veg to avoid prison | Today John, Sarah, and Angeline run the gamut with a wide array of topics. Firstly, the trio get all dressed-up and fancy over Jaan J.’s vegan ties. These ties can be found on-line and there is a lot to choose from. TVA also has a new membership structure. For $25 an individual can purchase a membership/discount card; the $40 Basic Membership will get the individual a membership/discount card and a $15 income tax receipt. Obviously, one can donate more than the $40 minimum and this can help TVA to continue with the many programs that the organization delivers. There was a recent presentation that a University of Toronto Law student gave to the Ontario Human Rights Commission about including vegetarian/vegan diets as a basic human right. The issue arises specifically for those who might be imprisoned or in the hospital. On a side note, there was a prison in California that did offer vegetarian/vegan meals to its inmates to great success. There are lots of volunteer opportunities coming up including: the Veggie Pride Parade, Raw Vegan Festival, Spring Vegan Expo, Sage Fair, and Fairmont York Wellness Fair. Lastly, it would be really great if we could get more Why I’m Veg videos for the Why I’m Veg Week. There’s lots of good reasons to be vegetarian! This week’s episode is a faux-silky 21 minutes. {enclose 20120526.mp3} | 25.5.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

Podcast 253: Keep Your Fish Out Of My Smoothie | This week Liam and Sarah discuss nutrition and getting in your smoothies and salads, and the common misconception that fish can be included in a vegan diet. This was included in the anti-review of Tosca Reno's latest cookbook which makes the vegetarian claim but includes a chapter of recipes that include fish. There are also several events and volunteer opportunities coming up in May and June including Why I'm Veg Week June 2nd - 9th which features the Veggie Pride Parade, a YouTube video contest, a vegetarian talent show and the Raw / Vegan festival. Details can be found at www.veg.ca/vegweek . Be sure to check out the May updates to the Directory which include the lovemuffin bakery, Green Zebra Meal delivery, Green Vegetatrian Market (the Vegetarian Food store) and Freshly Thai . Lastly, please check out Liz Rice's EnviroHealth presentations. She is avaiable to do presentations for elementary and high school students as well as corporate audiences. More information can be found at www.LizRice.ca/Presentations . We hope everyone is out enjoying this beautiful May weekend! This week's podcast is a fish-free 26 minutes. {enclose 20120512.mp3} | 11.5.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

Podcast 252: Vegan Big Stones or Basil vs. Basil | John and Colleen start off this Cinco de Mayo podcast with a little Spanish back and forth before getting down to conversational business. Things get off to a rousing start with the big reveal about Liam's favourite saxophone solo and discussion of Toronto super-chef Doug McNish's new book, Eat Raw, Eat Well which is now for sale in the TVA resource centre. Not surprisingly, kale figures prominently in this episode as Colleen is growing two kinds of the lovely stuff--Dinosaur and Red Russian--in her apartment; they discuss growing kale and, of course, eating it and John provides a new recipe for kale salad which makes both hosts' mouths water. John and Colleen eat a lot of kale to fuel them through their various physical activities, which include John running to work every day like the champion he is. Colleen needs kale to keep her moving fast on her bicycle, including for an upcoming bicycle skills course put on by the City of Toronto. John and Colleen bow before the toughness of the super-tough podcast-founder Jason, however, who's doing that insane Tough Mudder thing in August. Nobody knows what electrical shocks and fire have to do with vegetarianism but they're not *not* vegetarian. Your hosts propose a vegan challenge of a similar nature, but with more kale and less pain, called Vegan Big Stones. John and Colleen also discuss the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale held at TVA two Saturdays ago--a huge success, lots of people came out, almost everything was sold, and a fair chunk of change was raised for TVA. There'll definitely be another one here next year! Speaking of the future, upcoming events include an open house at Wishing Well Sanctuary in Bradford, the Toronto Raw/Vegan Festival, and nutrition training for TVA volunteers. Tangents include: whether or not soy is healthy, why tofu isn't made from beans other than soy, and how to count calories for healthy reasons. {enclose 20120505.mp3} | 4.5.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

Podcast 251: 1980's Saxophone Solo | Today John and Liam are really excited to learn about the apparent vegan explosion in the U.S. Over the past two years the number of adults in the U.S. who are vegan has doubled according to the Vegetarian Resource Group. The number of vegans is reported to be 2.5% of the population and the number of vegetarians is 5%. This is great news, obviously. Liam and John talk about how some studies can be skewed, however there is no skewing the fact that the number of vegetarian and vegan options in grocery stores has increased drastically over the past few years and this leads them to believe that the number of vegetarians and vegans is definitely growing. TVA is excited to be a participant in the upcoming Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale. TVA will be hosting its version of the Vegan Bake Sale on Saturday, April 21st from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. The Vegan Bake Sale will be taking place outside of the TVA office (17 Baldwin) on the patio of Vegetarian Haven. John also talks about his great experience at Marni Wasserman’s. John had the opportunity to try a wide variety of food, learn some culinary techniques, and ask lots of questions regarding nutrition. The experience caused John to finally give in and buy a Vitamix. A night at Marni’s is a great gift for the vegetarian/vegan who has everything. On a sad note, a great TVA volunteer has recently passed away. Agnes had been involved with TVA for a long time in a number of capacities. She helped TVA by volunteering at the Food Festival, at TVA outreach events, and she worked on doctor outreach packages. This is incredibly sad news for anyone who has been touched by Agnes; Greg, our thoughts are with you. This week’s episode is 37 minutes long and is dedicated to Agnes. {enclose 20120414.mp3} | 13.4.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

Podcast 250: The Next Guestisode | Today's epidsode features podcast superstars past and present reunited to celebrate the 250th Toronto Vegetarian Podcast!! Current Saturday regulars John, Liam, and Colleen are joined by podcast originators Jason and Angela (and their silent, but entirely real) mini-podcaster Dax. Barbi, TVA's Donor and Volunteer Resources Coordinator is in the house as well. We like hanging out here but we were all bribed to show up by John buying everyone pizza. Our 250th episode is defined by 1) no show notes or plan; 2) a variety of clever triple entendres; 3) lots of laughter; and 4) discussion of various veg issues and events. We discuss the honey issue (to eat, or not to eat), upcoming volunteer opportunities at the Green Living Show and Total Health Show, our upcoming participation in the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (Saturday, April 21). (Details here on how to host your own). On the Vegetarian Directory front: Vegetarian Brunch Guide, and new additions to the Vegetarian Discount card program.
