The first episode of Veg Out aired in 2006, so today all five of us are recording together to remember what life was even like as a vegan in the GTA 20 years ago. We reminisce about the excitement over vegan pizza (without any cheese!), raw food, activism, our favourite restaurants that are no more, and thankfully some that are still around!Links:Pilot Episode:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/pilot-episode/id1661444569?i=1000712317101Vegan Vegan Night Market: https://www.theveganmarket.ca/torontoPeterborough Veg Fest:https://ptbovegfest.ca/Avo Organic Kitchen:https://avoorganickitchen.com/Plant Curious:https://www.thisisplantcurious.com/toronto-homeCredits:Hosts: Barbi, Jeanette, Jen, Steve and SwetaEditing: JeanetteSummary: BarbiSocial Media: JenTheme: Matt Judge
