51- "But the brain needs meat"

The things 'doctors' will say to sell a book, eh?! As well as this 'interesting' proclamation on Seattle Morning News, this week it's great news for... 

*Everyone who'd go vegan if there were just better imitation faux octopus tentacles to munch on...

*Anyone wanting to protest at the Grand National...

*Chicken farmers who 'haven't quite got around to' letting natural daylight into their barns yet.

Dominic, Carlos & Ant whizz through around a dozen vegan & animal rights headlines before breaking down their 'picks of the week' in more detail.
