| 0:12.5 | It's not hard to be vegan budget. |
| 0:16.8 | Hello, lovely listeners, and welcome to episode 13. |
| 0:20.0 | This is eating vegan on a budget or eating plant based on a budget. We finally have Momo back. It's been a whole month. I can't believe we've got through 2018 without you so far, Momo. We've really missed you. Yeah, but I also, I think this is going to be like a Mo Mo Month. All of the upcoming topics are topics we've planned. |
| 0:39.1 | So, yeah, our scheduling person, aka me, need some work. |
| 0:44.3 | But anyway, yeah, we're very happy to have you back. |
| 0:46.7 | And first of all, how are you, Mo Mo Mo? |
| 0:50.0 | Oh, I'm good. |
| 0:50.8 | I'm happy to be back. |
| 0:52.2 | Definitely. |
| 0:53.1 | I've been listening very avidly, loving it, but |
| 0:55.7 | it's nice to join you again on here. Yeah, definitely. And Momo, as you mentioned, has been |

| 1:22.2 | Well, I just felt like this was important, seeing as so many fellow human heathletops emerged |
| 1:26.7 | on social media. I felt like they needed to have a voice on here as well. Absolutely. Yeah, I don't know why all these people have such a problem with it. But to be honest, when I, probably a few years ago, I would have identified more as a Giff and and not as a Hufflepuff. And when I did find out that I got sorted in the house, |
| 1:44.7 | I was very offended and even more offended that my patroness was a salmon, which I believe yours was too. Same, Momo. Oh my God. I was like, hang on. What's going on it? Where's my unicorn or whatever? But, you know, these things have their own door and working out, don't they? But, you know, agreed with what you said about hoverpuffs and evenism in the way that they're attractivist, |
| 2:06.1 | they're not trying to be in the front with all the glory, they're having to hold people's hand and guide them free. |
