Thanksgiving SUCKS for vegans. We do not want to sit at the damn table watching you eat the dead body of a bird. Here is an episode on WHY Thanksgiving is hard for us and different ways you can go about navigating this year's Thanksgiving. Do you go? Do you not go? Do you refuse to sit at the table? My dear friend Bobby, CEO and founder of Plant Strength comes on today's episode to discuss this difficult topic with us and give his piece of advice. We also share our favorite brands for the perfect, cruelty free holiday roast (does not involve body parts). Hope you enjoy this episode and hope it gives you piece of mind that you are NOT alone. I feel your pain...

How many god damn times do people come at you when you say you're vegan? Well if you're anything like me, HUNDREDS. So I had to do my homework and do some research so that when people ask me questions, I have a good answer for 'em. Everyone wants to know: Where's your protein? Lions and tigers eat animals so why shouldn't we? But god said so... Anddd the list goes on and on. In this episode I'm going to walk you through how to respond to all the non vegans in your life. We gotta know the facts and have educational conversations with people in hopes they will change too. Enjoy the episode, hope it helps! –––––––––––– @DropTheKnifePodcast Droptheknife.org @JayloKurtz --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drop-the-knife/support
