In today's episode, host Colleen Patrick-Goudreau talks all about omega-3sβthose essential fats we all need for heart, brain, and overall health. But here's the catch: instead of getting them through fish, which has ethical, environmental, and health concerns, we can go straight to the source: marine plants like algae. Omega-3s aren't included in a regular blood panel, so we'll dive into why it's important to get tested, what the optimal levels are, and why you donβt want to fall below them. Letβs get into it!

PRE-ORDER COLLEEN'S NEW BOOK at http://www.joyfulvegan.com/preorder
A dilemma a lot of new vegans grapple with is what to do with all the animal-derived products they have from their pre-vegan days β leather shoes, wool sweaters, down-filled pillows, etc. β and a question a lot of people ask is "is it vegan to wear / buy second hand leather, wool, silk, etc. In both cases, the harm has been done, but there are a lot of arguments for and against wearing these items, including:
being vegan means not wearing any animal products at all, so you can't be vegan and do so. even wearing second hand leather is giving tacit approval that it's okay to kill animals for their skin. second hand leather is more environmentally friendly than new synthetic leather.And so on. Enjoy!
