Stevie and Luc discuss greyhound exports to Macau, the Vegan Society NSW recommendations to change the new national dietary guidelines, the Australian pet industry cracking down on illegal breeders, more live export news (from Egypt), and how little Australian kids know about where their food comes from. Also, the plant meat revolution is approaching, the arbitrariness of animal welfare legislation, and a vegetarian delivery service!
