Welcome to Our Hen House.

This is Marianne Sullivan.

And this is Jasmine Singer.

Thank you for joining us this week.

You're going to be so glad you did.

Jasmine's guest is Thomas Goodman.

And he's going to be talking about something that so many of us have participated in, and that's restaurant outreach.

Specifically about the not-for-profit organization he founded to help do restaurant outreach so much better than I ever used to do it.

Plant dining partnerships provides resources to advocates who are working to help the food service industry increase their plant-based food options.

This is really the bottom line for grassroots activism.

It just couldn't be more important.

And it reminds me so much of our early days of our henhouse when grassroots and restaurant outreach,

sort of corporate outreach, was a big, big focus for us. And it was a big focus of the movement.

And so it's so exciting to talk with someone like Thomas, who is just continuing on with this

incredible effort to change the world for animals.

He is so passionate. I loved talking to him. He's just so smart. And it's just,

it's a great episode. And on this week's flock bonus segment, I will be continuing my conversation with Thomas. So if you are a flock member, don't forget that you'll get a link

to the bonus segment in your email on the Tuesday after the podcast episode goes up.

Or you can always find it on the flock Facebook group.
