## Resource

Faunalytics reckon that the rate of men joining the vegan and meat-free movements is slowing (compared to the takeup from women). Are men scared of being branded a soy-boy? Is our activism too skewed towards feminine-friendly arguments? Do we even need more men in the movement? Shane, Mark & Anthony are behind the microphone for this episode. As ever, we love hearing your views on the topics under discussion (or anything else!) so do drop us your thoughts via enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com ************* Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights.
