John is joined by Angeline for today's podcast episode. There are several questions and tips from listeners. Shawn writes in and wants to know about making soy milk. While the two podcast hosts have no experience with soy milk makers Angeline describes how she has experience with making the product sans soy milk maker. There is also the suggestion of visiting "The Tofu Guy" in St. Lawrence Market. Steve suggests checking out VeganYumYum's post on making soy milk from scratch. See comment 54 where he writes: "I have a SoyQuick machine and love the taste and ease. I cringed reading your process. The machine method is so easy, and clean up is not that bad."

Shawn also has some great links from BlogTO - the best vegetarian restaurants in Toronto and the best lunches in Kensington Market. In position number one is Urban Herbivore. BlogTO calls them a "vegan paradise."

Another letter comes from David in HOT-lanta. He points out that KFC's veggie burger is reportedly fried in the same fryer as meat, and thus raises the question as to whether it is actually "vegetarian". David is partaking in a 24-hour bike relay which is sponsored by Cosmos Vegan Shoppe. He is also the inspiration for this week's "Question of the week": "When was the last time you did something that wasn't vegan, you knew it wasn't vegan, but you did it anyway?" 'Fess up! John admits to wearing a 15-year-old leather belt fairly regularly. Angeline was volunteering at a vegan farm recently and flicked a cricket off her pants and may have "traumatized it."

The podcast team also recently learned that Dwayne De Rosario is vegan. Say what you will about "vegan celebrities", but John is more impressed by "vegan athletes" because they are very dependent on the food that they are putting in their bodies.

There is also some banter about good food ideas to bring on a plane. The best snacks are dried fruit and trail mix, but there are others up for debate too. Bottom line: don't bring pudding.

This podcast is a "chick-lit"-reference-free 30 minutes.
