0:22.2	I founded Compassionate compassionate cooks to empower people to make informed
0:26.0	food choices and to debunk myths about vegetarianism and animal rights. I do this through
0:31.7	cooking classes, an online cookbook, lectures and workshops,
0:36.0	articles and essays, this podcast, and a cooking DVD I produced a couple years ago now. You can learn more about who we are and what we do by visiting

0:50.0	I want to send out a huge thank you to Ray Sikora and Jim Corcoran for sponsoring today's

2:00.8	work that I do. I love every show of yours that I've listened to. I have
2:05.6	to canoe across the Rio Grande River and then drive to the nearest town to get to the
2:11.5	library, which is the only place I can have access to high speed
2:15.0	internet in our area and it's the only place I can download your shows and it's so
2:19.7	worth it. I love it. I have this great visual of Ray, like just canoeing against
