Every week, real progress is happening across the plant-based world, even when it is not trending on social media. In this episode, we break down the plant-based developments you might have missed and why they matter for the future of food, travel, and culture.

From new public nutrition guidelines in Europe that include plant-based meals in schools, to airlines like Lufthansa, Delta Air Lines, and Virgin Atlantic expanding and improving Vegan meal options, we explore how normalization is quietly happening at scale. We also look at how cruise lines such as Virgin Voyages are setting new standards by making plant-based food a visible, default option.

We discuss the ongoing conversation around whether Veganism is fading and why leaders like Miyoko Schinner and health educators such as Will Bulsiewicz point to evolution, not decline. The movement is shifting toward whole foods, better systems, cultural relevance, and accessibility.

We also spotlight major cultural moments like Vegan Campout celebrating its tenth anniversary, showing how Veganism continues to grow through education, activism, and community.

If you care about where the plant-based movement is really headed, this episode offers a grounded, global look at progress beyond the hype. Listen in, stay curious, and explore more at VegansExplore.com/podcast.
