RadmanX hosts the Second Annual Animal Day on Radio Active Lunch on Wednesday November 24th from 11 AM to 1 PM EST (the program streams online via the Radio Active Lunch website).

Animal Day was created by the Vegan Initiative (Adam Roufberg, Evan Stormo and Jesse Stormo) as a day to celebrate all animal life and to express one's  love and respect for all sentient beings by adopting a vegan diet - for this day, if not permanently.

This year we spoke with a number of famed vegan scholars, activists, and advocates who discussed issues such as vegan health and nutrition, the legal personhood of animals, great vegan holiday recipes, body building, vegan resources, and much more.
