89: Soy and Compassion / by Derek Goodwin

Soybeans!

Soybeans!

We have two featured guests. The first is David Lovler, who grows his own soy beans and makes tofu, soy milk, miso, and yogurt out of it. David shares his extensive knowledge of soy and debunks some of the health myths surrounding soy. He also tells us his easy method for sprouting. Our second guest is Will DeVault-Weaver, who is a member of Cooks for Compassion, based in Amherst, MA. Cooks for Compassion serves high quality gourmet vegan meals and uses the proceeds to fund animal-friendly 501(c)3 non-profit organizations. We also feature a new segment with Ben Shaberman, author of The Vegan Monologues. Ben reads his essay "Vegetarian Guys Get the Girls".
