Today Lisa O. and Emily try to figure out ways to out-segue John and Liam's 'dudecast' while handling all of the vegan scavenger hunt excitement ongoing at the resource centre.  The 'ladycast' opens with a special shout out from one vegan scavenger hunt team, and includes three other 'hellos' mid-way through the podcast - so look out!  Things on the scavenger hunt list this year included pictures with TVA RC members, photos of vegans reading animal rights books, and photos of vegans flexing. 

Speaking of flexing, Lisa mentions a vegan body builder who is currently in Toronto.  People who think vegans don't get enough protein or can't build muscle mass should take a look at this guy.  If you are a body builder, and use bronze tanner to highlight your physique, or if you are just a regular person who cleans now and again, you might enjoy some eco-friendly DIY cleaning products that make use of things you have right in your cupboard. Things that might not be in your cupboard?  Breast milk from a cow.  Yes, you heard right.  Scientists in China have found a way to genetically-manipulate cows to produce human breast milk.  Lisa and Emily think that this is not a good use of scientific dollars, and that cows should be left to live peaceful un-exploited lives in the country.  You might find Carrie Underwood in the country too, since she grew on a farm, and sings country music.  A vegetarian since 13, Underwood recently announced she has become vegan, for health reasons.  Whatever your reason for being veggie or vegan, you probably like to go out now and again for dinner at a restaurant.  Lisa O. mentions a site from which you can order free cards to give to different restaurant managers, to let them know you'd like to see more (or any) delicious vegetarian and vegan options available on the menu.  For vegetarians or vegans who like vegetables and fruits, or people who like things clean, Lisa and Emily discuss the EWG's Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists, highlighting the best produce to buy organic, and the ones that it won't hurt to buy conventional.  Lisa closes the podcast with a shout-out to some special listeners that visited the resource centre all the way from Cleveland, Ohio and recommended the restaurant The Flaming Ice Cube.  She and Emily hope they enjoyed their stay in Toronto!

This podcast was a segue-spectacular 22 minutes.
