She reveals how she intends to use this title to inform people that we can be healthy without eating animals. <br> And of course, Mariann covers News and Rising Anxieties!<br> As always, the award-winning weekly Our Hen House podcast is hosted by Mariann Sullivan and <a href="http://www.jasminsinger.com" target="_blank">Jasmin Singer</a>.<br> <br> <br> This episode is brought to you in part through the generosity of <a href="http://awfw.org/" target="_blank">A Well-Fed World</a>. A Well-Fed World is a hunger relief and animal protection organization chipping away at two of the world’s most immense, unnecessary and unconscionable forms of suffering… the suffering of people hungry from lack of food, and the suffering of animals used and abused for food. Mending our unjust food system is a critical part of solving the world’s most destructive and persistent problems. Fortunately, the plant-based foods that promote health and well-being are the same foods that conserve resources to better feed the world, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the environment. A Well-Fed World provides the means for change by empowering individuals, social justice organizations, and political decision makers to embrace the benefits of plant-based foods and farming.
