  <description><![CDATA[Let's talk about how to raise vegan kids and empower vegan families in a world that is far from plant-based, especially in our piece of the Mid-West. How do we navigate parties, daycare and school, the pediatrician's office, and travel? How do we express our beliefs about vegan family life in a culture that takes kids to the zoo and where even the pumpkin patches feature exploited animals? It's easy...with this vegan fam pod! We have decades of experience being vegans and raising vegans, even when the in-laws don't like it. Everyone is welcome, vegan or not, and we welcome parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and everyone. Tune in, suggest topics, and share in fam life to the power of V!]]></description>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our very special guest, Marisa Miller Wolfson, creator and director of the documentary, Vegucated, discusses strategies to raise empowered kids in tumultuous times. How do we give them community, agency, and hope in the face of challenges such as climate change, animal abuse, and divided political times? How do we keep ourselves healthy in the same environment? We discuss practical ideas to raise engaged, supported youth that are always helpful but especially critical in the most urgent crises.</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/VFCT">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
