Listen to Joanne Kong on Hope for the Animals and Vedge Your Best Podcasts

Author Joanne Kong was recently on two podcast to talk about Vegan Made Easy.

She was on Hope for the Animals where she talks about why she felt it was important to start the book with the vegan connection to social justice. She and Hope also talk about the difference between vegan and plantbased, sticky situations that vegans encounter and how to deal with them, how to avoid animal products beyond food, and some responses to frequently asked carnist questions.

She was also on Vedge Your Best where she talks about the difference between plant-based and vegan, why that language matters, and why she sees going vegan not as adding more complication, but as a return to basics. She also shares why, for her, going vegan became more than a health choice—it became an emotional and even spiritual opening toward greater kindness and connection.
