Ep 156 Animal Advocacy & Grief - New USDA Rules For Student Lunches - A Meatless Raffle!

Compassion & Cucumbers Vegan Podcast

Hey Pickles!
We hope this finds you well!
This week, we tell you all about a recent fundraiser that we sponsored for Penelope's Place Sanctuary. It was a meatless raffle, and it was so much fun!!
In our Noteworthy segment, we take a look at the new USDA rules for student lunches, and discuss how it affects kid's access to vegan options.
Here are the rules:

Our Main Topic this week is Avoiding Grief, a piece written by animal law expert and fellow podcaster, Mariann Sullivan.
She explores how the knowledge of animal suffering in the animal agriculture industry affects advocates & non advocates alike.
Here is a link to her Substack article:
