“I’m making my way through every episode of the podcast
Sibling Rivalry—by RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Monet X
Change and Bob the Drag Queen—and had to stop at
‘The One About Veganism.’ In it, the incredibly quick-witted
(and non-vegan) Bob breaks down the irritating conflation
of vegan, ‘humanely raised,’ and organic food; explains
the cognitive dissonance of meat-eating; and cracks
so many jokes, you’re bound to cackle.”
—Richard Bowie, Senior Editor“After seeing vegan comedian Preacher Lawson kill
it (peacefully) on America’s Got Talent, I had to see
what else he’s up to. Turns out, the Portland-native
hosts the vegan cooking show Cooking with
Preacher Lawson on YouTube where he makes
healthy dishes such as spinach artichoke pizza,
chocolate milkshakes, and pancakes—sometimes
shirtless. Suffice it to say that I’m obsessed.”
—Anna Starostinetskaya, Senior News Editor“Rachel Carr is the spectacularly talented vegan chef
behind my current favorite blog, Plant Craft.
While you won’t find any five-ingredient hacks
or 15-minute meals, each recipe is showstopping,
and the closest you can get to five-star cuisine
without making a reservation. Start with
the Pumpkin Tamales. Trust me.”
—Tanya Flink, Digital Editor
“I love watching the Natalie Portman episode of
Bon Appétit’s Back-to-Back Chef YouTube
series, in which Portman is challenged to make
a raw vegan carpaccio following only verbal
instructions. It’s hilarious watching her try to figure
out how to crack open a fresh coconut, and I love
the point that’s made about how fresh and
flavor-packed plant-based food is.”
—Sarah McLaughlin, New Products Editor“The power of neurologist Aysha Akhtar’s new book,
Our Symphony With Animals, which explores the
bond between humans and animals, is grounded not just in
expertise, but in her painful stories of childhood bullying
and sexual abuse. Akhtar recounts how she found deep
comfort and love when she met a dog, Sylvester, and how
that encounter led her to a lifetime of helping people and
animals. Her story is moving and deeply inspiring.”
