Main Street Vegan
Summary: Main Street Vegan is a lively hour devoted to your health, well-being, and ways to live lightly and lovingly on planet Earth. Host Victoria Moran will entertain you each week with the latest on the vegan life-it's not just for celebrities and moguls, but for the guy and gal on Main Street who want to look and feel amazing, eat extraordinary food, help animals, and create a physical body perfectly attuned to spiritual growth. Their guests will range from Unity ministers to vegan authors, activists, physicians, chefs-and even some of those glittery celebs. There'll be recipes, ideas, ways to go vegan (or "veganward") at your own pace, and tips for making a difference for animals and the planet at every meal. Watch the book trailer for Main Street Vegan. The ideas and opinions expressed on this program do not necessarily reflect the teachings of Unity.

Podcasts:
Two guests who know about good food: Ellen Jaffe-Jones, author of Eat Vegan on $4 a Day, and Patti Breitman, co-author of How to Eat Like a Vegetarian Even If You Never Want to Be One: More Than 250 Shortcuts, Strategies, and Simple Solutions (Patti is also co-founder of Dharma Voices for Animals, a group that honors nonhuman beings based on teachings from the Buddhist tradition).
Mark Braunstein, author of Radical Vegetarianism, expert on sprouting and micro-greens, also has an inspiring story of defying the odds and learning to walk with crutches after the accident that severed his spinal cord.
Ruby Roth, author and illustrator of the thought-provoking children's book, Vegan Is Love: Having Heart and Taking Action, talks about kids, animals, and the response she got to her no-holds-barred book.
Let's get Vegucated ... with the fun and fabulous film by that name from radiant auteur Marisa Miller-Wolfson, our guest today on Main Street Vegan. Marisa's delightful documentary follows the adventures (and misadventures) of three meat-and-cheese-loving New Yorkers (she found them on Craigslist!) who agree to go vegan-no animal products at all-for 90 days. As warm and funny and accepting as her film, Marisa wants to talk with YOU about all things veg.
It's the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer as the song says, and thoughts turn to firing up the grill. Vegans can cook out with the best of them, and our guest today, John Schlimm, author of Grilling Vegan Style: 125 Fired-Up Recipes to Turn Every Bite into a Backyard BBQ , will help you become a veg-on-the-barbie expert. Call in with your questions for John or to chat about all things vegan-ish.
You may have heard him speak (and magnificently play piano) at your church, or you've read his groundbreaking book, World Peace Diet: Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony. If his work has touched you at all, you'll need no urging to tune in today to spend time in the healing presence of Will Tuttle, Ph.D., a former Zen monk and a gentle voice of sanity in the world. Dr. Tuttle will share with us how to gain more inner peace-and possibly world peace too-starting at the grocery store. We'll take your calls.
This week on Main Street Vegan: Victoria is en route to Vegetarian Summerfest and prerecorded a fun and fascinating show with the founders of Our Hen House: Jasmin Singer (fresh from her appearance on Dr. Oz) and Mariann Sullivan, J.D., professor of animal law at Cordozo and Brooklyn Law Schools. Email your questions about animals and animal rights to victoria@mainstreetvegan.net.
Welcome to the intro program of Main Street Vegan! Victoria and Adair will lay out the format of this lively and life-giving hour, answer questions that have come in online, and interview two fascinating guests: blogger JL Fields of JLGoesVegan.com (she went veg after 40, became a triathlete, and encourages us to "Stop Chasing Skinny!"); and Gary Gibson, HHC, AADP, CPT, health educator, fitness coach and creator of The Vegan Effect.
