Summary

PRE-ORDER COLLEEN'S NEW BOOK at http://www.joyfulvegan.com/preorder

A dilemma a lot of new vegans grapple with is what to do with all the animal-derived products they have from their pre-vegan days β€” leather shoes, wool sweaters, down-filled pillows, etc. β€” and a question a lot of people ask is "is it vegan to wear / buy second hand leather, wool, silk, etc. In both cases, the harm has been done, but there are a lot of arguments for and against wearing these items, including:Β 

  • being vegan means not wearing any animal products at all, so you can't be vegan and do so.
  • even wearing second hand leather is giving tacit approval that it's okay to kill animals for their skin.
  • second hand leather is more environmentally friendly than new synthetic leather.

And so on. Enjoy!

Welcome to Food for Thoughts. My public service announcement for today is to avoid hurricanes at all cost.

0:07.0

Hi everyone, we're just doing a rebroadcast today because I was in Florida, in Tampa, in in Tampa Bay area during Hurricane Milton and I was

0:17.4

there to visit my father and my sister no one could have anticipated that a

0:21.7

second hurricane would have arrived just on the heels of Hurricane Helene just a week later so I

0:29.2

purposefully chose to go to Florida to see my father in October rather than in August because I cannot stand the heat

0:36.8

And that's what happened so I'm glad in the end that I was there helping out because it was pretty chaotic and pretty crazy but that meant that I wasn't able to record the new podcast episode.

0:49.0

I'm excited I will be sharing it with you next time and it's a follow-up from the episode I just launched which was on blood work and why we want to get our blood panels done and look at our biometrics to determine optimal wellness and we can make you know so we can make some tweaks

1:04.8

if we need to so the one that I will be sharing with you and intended to share

1:09.0

today is on omega-3s and what it means for our health, our brain health, our heart health,

1:15.8

and why we want to get our omega-3s tested to make sure that we're in the

1:19.4

really healthy range. So that will come next time today. I'm going to rebroadcast this episode that is a

1:25.4

popular topic. I get asked this question a lot and I will cut off some of the announcements from when I recorded this a couple years ago, but I will say this.
