Summary: Welcome to the 348th episode of Our Hen House!<br> <a href="http://www.ourhenhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/10k-tri2.jpg"></a>You’re going to love this episode! And you’re going to learn a lot too. First up, <a href="http://jasminsinger.com/">Jasmin</a> takes a “run” with Scott Spitz, the always thoughtful and eloquent <a href="https://runvegan.wordpress.com/">Run Vegan</a> blogger, cancer survivor, and running coach. <br> Mariann interviews fellow lawyer and animal law professor David J. Wolfson. David, who currently teaches a course in Animals and Public Policy that is part of the amazing <a href="http://animalstudies.as.nyu.edu/page/home">Animal Studies Initiative</a> at New York University, has also taught at Harvard, Columbia, Yale, you-name-it. In addition, he has written extensively on animal protection law, including an article with Mariann entitled “Foxes in the Henhouse: Animals, Agribusiness and the Law” in <a href="http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195305104.001.0001/acprof-9780195305104">Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions</a>. <br> As always, the award-winning, weekly Our Hen House podcast is hosted by <a href="http://www.jasminsinger.com" target="_blank">Jasmin Singer</a> and Mariann Sullivan.<br> <br> <br> This episode is sponsored by <a href="http://awfw.org/" target="_blank">A Well-Fed World</a>. A Well-Fed World is a hunger relief and animal protection organization chipping away at two of the world’s most immense, unnecessary and unconscionable forms of suffering… the suffering of people hungry from lack of food, and the suffering of animals used and abused for food. Mending our unjust food system is a critical part of solving the world’s most destructive and persistent problems. Fortunately, the plant-based foods that promote health and well-being are the same foods that conserve resources to better feed the world, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the environment. A Well-Fed World provides the means for change by empowering individuals, social justice organizations, and political decision makers to embrace the benefits of plant-based foods and farming.
