Summary
All of us have been in a situation where a dog or cat (or other animal) crosses our path and potentially needs our intervention, and we have to decide what to do at that moment - animals who are homeless, lost, in distress, being abused, being neglected, or animals who are dead. Although it would be easier and more convenient to turn away, I can't just write it off as being someone else's problem. Because if it's not my problem, whose is it? By virtue of being part of a larger community, I can’t help but feel a responsibility to care for all its members, particularly those who are the most vulnerable.

| 0:00.0 | And I'm and Welcome to Food for Thought. My name is Colleen Patrick Gudreau from Compassionate |
| 0:20.9 | Cooks. I founded Compassionate compassionate cooks to empower people to make |
| 0:24.7 | informed food choices, to debunk myths about vegetarianism and animal rights, and to encourage |
| 0:30.5 | people to live according to their own values of compassion. |
| 0:35.0 | You can learn more about who we are and what we do by visiting our website Compassionate cooks.com. |

| 1:05.7 | about a month ago and I went from a typical American meat and dairy diet to vegan immediately. I can't believe I was sleeping for 26 years. Thank you |
| 1:16.3 | for waking me up. I decided to sponsor a podcast in honor of my wonderful and |
| 1:21.0 | very patient boyfriend Ian. He's been so amazingly |
| 1:24.8 | supportive of my instant life change. I know that my decision to live a vegan |
| 1:29.0 | lifestyle came out of left field for him. He's been swept away by my new crazy veganness. He's adapted |
| 1:35.3 | well and actually likes all my new animal-friendly meals. I just want him to know that I |
| 1:40.4 | appreciate his support and understanding more than he will ever know. |
| 1:45.0 | Ian, I love you. |
| 1:47.0 | And that's from Jennifer, Ian. |
| 1:49.0 | That's not for me, although I'm sure if I knew you I would love you, |
| 1:52.0 | but that is straight from Jennifer's heart and that is just so |
| 1:57.1 | awesome it's really a pleasure to be able to to share the love and to receive the love it's |
