    254: Got Labels?: What If Your Food Told the Truth?
    Jul 15 2025
    Switzerland’s groundbreaking new labelling law, effective July 1, 2025 doesn’t abolish animal cruelty—but maybe it bans ignorance. Food products like meat, dairy, eggs, foie gras, and even frogs’ legs must now clearly disclose if the animals experienced painful procedures—such as dehorning, castration, tail docking, force-feeding—performed without pain relief. The requirement extends to supermarkets, restaurants, small businesses, and importers (swissinfo.ch).Michele unpacks how sunlight—the best disinfectant—can shine on systems once hidden from view. Especially for those of us in midlife, this transparency invites reflection, choice, and meaningful shifts. It's not about forcing people to change; it's about widening awareness.In this episode:Why truth on a label isn't an agenda—it’s an invitation.How the “right not to know” may be the real barrier.What we can each do—no guilt, just curiosity.Listener Challenge: Choose one animal-based product—food, clothing, or cosmetics. Research how it was made. Ask yourself: does it match how I want to eat, live, or care?Mentioned in this episode:Swiss federal food labelling law requiring disclosure of painful animal procedures (plantbasednews.org, swissinfo.ch)Labeling obligation applies to meat, milk, eggs, foie gras, frogs’ legs—across food outlets (plantbasednews.org)Force-feeding ducks and geese (foie gras) must be labelled—despite domestic ban for over 40 years (swissinfo.ch)Ban on fur imports from cruel practices, plus mandatory labeling and standards for fur products (swissinfo.ch)Subscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

  • 253: Plant-Based Cooking As An Act of Personal Liberation: Chef Day Radley from The Vegan Chef School

    253: Plant-Based Cooking As An Act of Personal Liberation: Chef Day Radley from The Vegan Chef School
    Jul 8 2025

    What if your kitchen could be the starting point for personal liberation?

    This week on Vedge Your Best, Chef Day Radley joins Michele to talk about how cooking plant-based isn’t just about what’s on the plate—it’s about reclaiming agency, aligning with your values, and discovering what’s possible in midlife and beyond.

    Founder of The Vegan Chef School in London, Day shares how a pink flyer at a protest changed her life, why she created one of the UK’s first plant-based chef training programs, and how so many of her students are reinventing themselves through food.

    Whether you’re a seasoned vegan, newly plant-curious, or simply wondering if it’s too late to learn something new—this episode will meet you right where you are.

    In this episode:

    • How food choices reflect personal power

    • Why midlife is the perfect time to start something new

    • What Day teaches her students beyond just recipes

    • How vegan cooking is gaining ground in the private chef world

    • The unexpected creative advantage of British food culture

    • Why Day refuses to count calories—and what she teaches instead

    252: The Vegan We’re Waiting For (Might Be You)
    Jul 1 2025

    Even small choices create a ripple effect. In fact we probably can’t succeed without your smallest actions.


    Episode Summary: Feeling overwhelmed by the news? Wondering if your vegan lunch really matters? In this episode, Michele Olender explores the power of shifting from passive observer to active participant — in culture, in climate, in your plant-based journey.. Maybe even in traffic..


    Inspired by Jonathan Safran Foer’s powerful book We Are the Weather, Michele invites us to rethink our role in the systems we say we want to change.


    If you’ve ever thought, “Why bother? I’m just one person,” this is your reminder that your example — and your intention — matter more than you think.


    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Why that traffic jam metaphor is bigger than you think

    • How doomscrolling keeps us reactive, not creative

    • What We Are the Weather teaches us about daily action

    • What to say to yourself when plant-based choices feel invisible

    • How to lead with clarity, even when no one around you agrees
