Three minutes before today’s live show, I learned that the scheduled guest and I had different dates on our calendars. I could have opted for the engineer at Unity Online Radio to play an archived episode, but I really wanted to announce the exciting Meatless May initiative that Main Street Vegan Academy is doing, so I put out a frantic plea for people to call in, and what resulted was an absolutely wonderful program, featuring three certified Vegan Lifestyle Coaches and Educators — Sha-hanna Soaper, VLCE, Rachel Borkowski, VLCE, and Heather Dahman VonDarling, VLCE — plus the inspiring vegan clergywoman Rev. Carol Saunders, and the inimitable John Pierre, trainer to the stars but far more than that, a truly great soul with wisdom and love to spare.

And now the good folks of Complement have a new product: Complement Plus, a supplement in tablet form that includes all the nutrients in Complement spray, along with zinc, iodine, selenium, magnesium, and vitamin K2. Essential for blood clotting, healthy bones, and heart health, the only plant-food source of vitamin K2 is natto, an obscure, fermented soy food and one that is definitely an acquired taste (and smell).
