How proof of concept led to a PBS show

Guest: Angela Yvonne — journalist and creator of Vegan Pop Eats

Theme: Turning plant-forward living into culture, not homework

What you’ll hear:
Angela shares how she moved from Veganuary to everyday vegan living and why she thinks veganism needs a new PR person. We unpack her simple “3 M’s”  (Meatless Monday, Meatless Meals, Meatless Month), budget-savvy eating, and how your neighborhood’s “food architecture” nudges your choices. We also talk language shifts that reduce resistance (“I’m not prioritizing that right now”) and small-step leadership you can start today.

Highlights

• The “3 M’s”: choose the entry point you’ll actually stick with

• From Veganuary to everyday: making a 30-day trial durable

• Budget wins: beans, grains, frozen veg, flavor boosters

• Your block vs your plate: mapping a 10-minute “greenside circuit”

1. Pick one M — Meatless Monday, two Meatless Meals, or start a Meatless Month.

2. Map your greenside circuit (within a 10-minute radius):

   • one affordable produce stop

   • one reliable protein staple (beans/lentils/tofu/grains)

3. one decent veg entrée for tired nights

   Use the phrase “I’m not prioritizing that right now” when old habits pop up, then choose one small swap you will prioritize.
