Welcome to Food for Thought in its 18th year. Thank you for listening if you've been listening for years.

Thank you for listening if you're new. Today's episode is from sushi to sober, a vegan-friendly

journey through Japanese cuisine. My name is Colleen Patrick Goddrow. You can find me at joyful

vegan.com. You can also connect with me. Drumroll, please, not on Patreon,

but on substack. If you would like to subscribe to my substack, it's called Compassion in Action,

it's practical inspiration for living zero-ways plant-based and cruelty-free. You can be a

I'm moving farther and farther away from Instagram and Facebook and the platforms that

I have a lot to say and share, and I am looking forward to continuing to do so over on substack. You can always find

me at joyfulvegan.com and you can find the mailing list over there as well. So maybe start there

if you don't know how to find me on substack and if it's new to you. I also have a post on

substack that explains why I'm on substack. So once you're over there as a subscriber, you can read
