And I'm Welcome to Food for Thought. My name is Colleen Patrick Gudreau from Compassionate Cooks.

I founded compassionate cooks to empower people to make informed food choices and to debunk

myths about vegetarianism and animal rights.

You can learn more about who we are and what we do by

visiting our website compassionate cooks.com. You can also visit our other

websites we've got Joy of vegan baking.com and vegan table.com which also have

complementary recipes from both of those books and you can direct some

curious friends to them if they're looking to try out some recipes

before committing to buying the books. You can also join our compassionate

cooks fan page on Facebook and you can follow vegan cook on Twitter if you

really want to.

Hi everybody, I feel so bad it's been over a month

since I've recorded an episode and hopefully you can forgive me. I want to thank everybody who's

listening and who's patient and and who enthusiastically downloads each

podcast episode and of course I want to thank our different compassionate cooks

members who support in the membership program also supports this

podcast namely I want to thank Bonnie Brown, Michael Quigley, Tom Perry, Craig Dale, and

Travis and Loreine Jones. I couldn't find any specific emails from them but it's not

required that people send an email in order to be recognized

and acknowledged on the podcast so thank you for your support all of you and

thank you for being part of the Compassionate Cook's Club that supports our work.

Thank you also to Jennifer Kearns, who's a generous member.
