Easier to get him to bicycle, I bet. You going to church sunday?
Speaker 2
Can't there is a rally outside of an animal research facility I am attending. You?
Speaker 1
No, I don't see evidence for a supreme being. What kind of rally?
Speaker 2
Protect the animals. I won't even eat meat. Though I still like cheese.
Speaker 1
Healthier, but not easy. Everyone eats meat at my job..
Speaker 2
Yeah, as a man, I miss meat. But the animals...
Speaker 1
Right. I'm getting at that age where I'm more concerned about my health.
Speaker 2
Until I can marry my goat partner, I will fight the fight. Me and our son, billy.
Speaker 1
Goat partner? You've given up on humans?

This goat is the greatest of all time.

Speaker 1
Did you attend the rally at the animal facility?
Speaker 2
Absolutely! I wouldn't have missed that for the world. I can't not stick up for animals being tested on!
Speaker 1
how was it? did it have a good turn out? I always feel so bad for those animals. 
Speaker 2
Yes, there were a lot of people there. Probably around a 150, and some had loudspeakers. We had a good time, though the atmosphere was rather charged, obviously
Speaker 1
do you know of any other rallies coming up? I think I'd like to attend one if my health allows. 
Speaker 2
No, not that I am aware of, though this rally will keep happening, if you're interested in joining us!
Speaker 1
tell me when and where. I'll try to be there. 
Speaker 2
There will be one 3 weeks from now, on a Saturday. You could come spend the night after, since we would be there a while
Speaker 1
sounds good. can I see if my son and sister would like to join?
Speaker 2
Sure but I wouldn't if he's a minor, sometimes those things can get dangerous
Speaker 1
he's 20. he is passionate about animals too. 
Speaker 2
Oh okay, well yes we would love to have you all! I have plenty of room for you guys

Speaker 1
I talked to my son and sister and they would both like to come to the rallies
Speaker 2
Ok, the rallies are suppose to start at about 8am. This one is to free the lab animals we have about 200 people so far. Hope you can be there.
Speaker 1
I am worried about my son getting arrested. Do you think there will be police presence?
Speaker 2
They show up sometimes, but it is hard to arrest that many people. I haven't been arrest once, but it is something that could happen.
Speaker 1
Well, I think we will take the risk. He loves animals as much as I do! He has been a vegetarian since he was 10. I went vegan a few years ago because of my health and that's when I really realized that animals need us.
Speaker 2
Hopefully we can stop them from using animals. I hate that they do that. We have stopped at least 3 different labs so far.
Speaker 1
That's amazing! Do the labs change their ways after the rallies? 
Speaker 2
Yes or close down all together. 
Speaker 1
That's incredible. I'm so glad we can make such a difference. There is really no reason to test on animals! So many great brands don't do it anymore!
Speaker 2
Yes it feels great to know what a difference we can make. I love how wonderful it feels to help the animals.
Speaker 1
It is a great side benefit that I am so much healthier since I stopped eating meat. The vegan diet has really healed a lot of my health issues.
Speaker 2
I become a vegan about 2 months after I started doing these rallies. Just couldn't do it anymore. And I do feel so much better.

Speaker 2
Sure! We vegans need to support each other like that. Gonna have to have a nice hearty meal before the rally. Is your son the reason you went vegan?
Speaker 1
Yes, my son is the reason that I went vegan 
Speaker 2
Aww, he converted you? That always makes cooking easier!
Speaker 1
Yes he did. I was not going to do it but he really wanted me to so I tried it and I loved it. Yes makes cooking a lot easier.
Speaker 2
How did he end up going vegan at such a young age?
Speaker 1
He just never really had an interest in meet. So i never pushed it on him.
Speaker 2
How fascinating. Have you tried any plant-based meat?
Speaker 1
I have tried tofu and it was not to bad. I love vegie burgers though. That's our favorite. Whats your favorite?
Speaker 2
I caved and tried the Beyond Meat products. not bad, but I kind of feel like I'm cheating. So will this be your son's and sister's first rally?
Speaker 1
Yes it will be there first rally. What about yours?
Speaker 2
No, I've been to these types of rallies before. How are you feeling? Think you'll be well enough to join?

I was well enough to attend the rally! We really enjoyed it and my son didn't get arrested, that's a bonus.
Speaker 2
Oh I'm so glad he didn't get in any trouble! I am trying to get my son Billie to attend a rally with me. Any ideas how to get him to?
Speaker 1
I told him we'd go to the vegan restaurant afterwards and I was buying!
Speaker 2
Oh that is a fabulous idea! What did you end up eating?
Speaker 1
This place has great soups and sandwiches.  I got the pumpkin soup.  He got veggie rolls with peanut sauce.  Do you find it  difficult to cook vegan menus?
Speaker 2
Since going vegan I have really had to change up my recipes! I am still searching for some that I really like but haven't found much I like as well as at vegan restaraunts.
Speaker 1
Yes, there's a lot more peeling and chopping for sure.  I don't miss meat but it's tough to bake without eggs.  Going out to eat all the time can get expensive, though.
Speaker 2
Yes it is definitely more expensive but I really love that I'm eating so much more fresh foods. Do you have any recipes to share?
Speaker 1
There's a peanut dipping sauce and also a tahini sauce I make often.  Do you like spicy food?
Speaker 2
That sounds yummy! I like spicy foods just so they aren't super hot. What is tahini sauce? I've never heard of it.
Speaker 1
It's made from sesame seeds, I think.  The peanut sauce has both hot pepper flakes and Sriracha sauce but you could add less.  I'm growing some hot peppers this year.
Speaker 2
I would love to try it! Is it true that hot summers have hotter peppers or is that just at myth?
