Lost? An activist maybe? Or perhaps, chef! This week our newest contributor Shane tells us about the first all-vegan food vendor at the Texas State Fair, as well as a particularly non-vegan list of the other activities on show. Shane is also joined by Ant, Julie & Dominic to review nine other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news, including the sad passing of Jane Goodall.
