Hobbies and Side Hustles
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We're about 2 months overdue with this, but time isn't linear and you know what clock we run on (CPT).
Things we discuss in this episode:
- Drag
- What constitutes as a hobby (in our differing opinions)
- Traveling in the midst of a pandemic
- Social Media Etiquette
Apologies in advance for the sound quality, we're looking into investing into a proper set up so that we can bring you these laughs in high definition. If you liked this episode, be sure to rate it and send it to someone who would also enjoy it.
Pets
Vegan or not? There is so much noise around pets and whether or not pet ownership is vegan. As usual, we do not provide a clear cut answer to this question because the discussion around companion animals is complex so you'll have to listen to the episode in full to get our opinions on the topic.
If you liked this episode, remember to share it with a friend or in your social media networks. You can tag us @goatsandoatspodcast on instagram. We can't wait to connect with you and hear your thoughts on this episode.
Happy Halloween!
Earthlings
In this episode Jay and Zipporah discuss the infamous vegan documentary that is earthlings. In doing so, we begin to understand the waywardness that is yt veganism and why many yt folk are influenced to go vegan after watching these kinds of documentaries that so boldly compare the exploitation of non human animals to that of Black and Jewish people during Slavery and the Holocaust respectively.
If you haven't watched the documentary, we invite you to do so before or after listening to the documentary so that you can more accurately understand and clock the instances of anti-Blackness, colourblindness, and anti-semitism first hand as they may be subtle to those of you who are just beginning to decolonize your veganism.

Pronouns
Eating Disorders
TW: throwing up, bulimia and other eating disorders
Update since posting this episode: A&W has since released their plant based nuggets. Go ahead and try them out! We also discuss
In this episode we discuss the intersections between eating disorders and veganism as two people who have recovered from.
We explore the following topics:
- How a strict whole food plant based diet often promotes orthorexic eating patterns
- How eating plant based in 2021 is a lot different than in 2001 (resources, inspo, alternatives, costs thereof and accessibility thereto)
- How taglines such as “All food is good food” push people to think that if you're not eating the “real thing” you’re doing something wrong in recovery, when in reality plant based foods are just sourced differently, they're not any less authentic or real
- How listening to your hunger cues can be complicated and sometimes impossible when taking ADHD medication for example of while smoking and how those can also be used to restrict
- Tips for going vegan with an eating disorder (anchoring yourself in your why, transitioning slowly, swapping foods instead of cutting them out, and being consistent in the swaps you make)

The one about Black History Month
In this episode we discuss how we feel about Black History Month as we talk about it from a North-American perspective. For our Read the Receipts segment, it only felt fitting to look to Brazil to see how another colonized country treats Black people and pays tribute to Black History given that it is home to the largest population of Black people outside of the continent of Africa.

The one about 2020
Hey y'all, we know this year has been not only extremely challenging but also strangely stretched out. We felt like this year especially has just felt like it has been going on FOREVER. What we wanted to do with this episode is break down our 2020 by month. Reflecting back on 2020 in this way helped us recognize all of the things we were able to achieve, all of what we experienced, and what we hope to happen moving forward. Hopefully, this episode prompts you to similarly reflect back on this extremely challenging and transformative year. This is also the end of Season 1, but we are really excited to return for season 2 in the new year!
