On Halloween day Derek, Megan and Scott along with several other activists took The Vegan Bus from Northampton to the 14th annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. Derek conducted a series of interviews that are featured on this special enhanced podcast. He talks to Dr Michael Greger about the latest in vegan nutrition and also the swine flu epidemic. Helen from the Massachusetts Animal Rights Coalition (MARC) talks about local activism and getting the vegan message into the classroom. Local farm animals sanctuaries Cloa's Ark and Maple Farm Sanctuary are interviewed, as well as local vegan clothing and sneaker producers Autonomie Project. We have a mouth watering interview with the Chicago Soy Dairy and balance that with nutritional advice from vegan bodybuilding champion and author Robert Cheeke. And while the recorder batteries died before Derek got to interview Danielle Konya of Vegan Treats he does wax poetic about their vegan donuts. Where else can you get all this fun in one podcast? Nowhere. Enjoy!
