Plant-based progress does not always arrive with headlines or viral moments. In this episode, we unpack the most meaningful Vegan and plant-based developments you might have missed this week. From public health policy and global travel to cultural milestones, this conversation explores how normalization is quietly shaping the movement’s future.
Plant-Based Meals in Public Schools
European nutrition guidelines are evolving to include plant-based meals in schools and nurseries. This shift is about public health, sustainability, and long-term access, not forcing ideology.
Vegan Options in Air Travel
Airlines such as Lufthansa, Delta Air Lines, and Virgin Atlantic continue improving Vegan meal quality, labeling, and allergen awareness, especially on long-haul flights.
Cruise Industry Normalization
Cruise lines are following suit, with Virgin Voyages leading by offering plant-based meals as standard options. Larger cruise companies are expanding visibility and access across dining venues.
Is Veganism Fading or Evolving?
We address the recurring claim that Veganism is declining and explore why voices like Miyoko Schinner and Will Bulsiewicz emphasize evolution over decline. The focus is shifting from hype products to systems, whole foods, and cultural relevance.
Vegan Culture and Community
Vegan Campout celebrates its 10th anniversary, highlighting how Veganism now spans food, health, education, activism, and global community building.
