113- Should vegans take medication?

*** PLEASE NOTE: The opinions expressed in this episode are simply that: Opinions. No-one on today's show is giving anyone listening medical advice; we're just talking about our own experiences & opinions. We know you know that. But it makes us feel more comfortable to know we've said it. Anyway...

Whether to take medication that has been tested on animals, or even contains animal products, is a divisive issue among vegans. In this episode Dominic, Julie, Carlos & Ant give their perspectives on the issue, through their own vegan lenses.

As ever, we're keen to hear your thoughts, questions & observations; drop us an email at enoughofthefalafel@gmail.om to share your views.
