Food for Thought is brought to you by the listeners of this podcast, as well as by our friends at Plain Products.

My favorite sustainable solution for all of my personal care needs, and I know they're going to become a favorite of yours as well.

Plain Products offers high quality, vegan, cruelty-free,

zero waste personal care products

with an innovative refill system that is closing the loop on waste.

As a listener, you can get 15% off their shampoo, conditioner,

body lotion, body wash, whatever it is.

Here's how it works. You order your products. You choose

your fragrance including no fragrance. You choose a pump if this is the first time

ordering and when you receive your products enjoy them and when you're running low simply order a refill without the pump option and when the new products arrive you switch pumps and you return the empties in the same box using the free label that was provided.

Plain products then sanitizes the aluminum bottles and refills them closed loop period.

So visit Joyful Vegan.com slash Hair to get your exclusive 15% off

discount link and code on all plain products and you can use this link and discount code every time you

order every time you refill so go to do you. Welcome to Food for Thought. Today's episode is Stop Bugging Me, Animals Buzzing Around in Our Words. My name is calling Patrick Gudro. I am your host. I hope

you're doing fabulously well. I'm in the final weeks of finishing my

manuscript for my eighth book called A Year of Compassion. It's due very soon and

I really shouldn't be doing anything but writing that but I wanted to pop over here and share

an episode with you. Also if you're in the Vancouver Canada region I will be

speaking at Planted Expo on June 1st and hosting a special private happy hour

meet up the day before on May 31st from 3 to 5 at vegan restaurant

Mila. So space is limited but RSVP today at joyful vegan.com slash events and I hope to see you there.

Once I get home, we're going to be heading to Northern Italy
