This month we’re interviewing Rabbi Minna Bromberg about Fat Torah and their work in fat activism and ending weight stigma in the Jewish community. And for our second segment we’re talking about fake food–by which we mean pareve foods like fake meat, fake cheese, fake ice cream–inspired in part by the passing of David Mintz, the founder of Tofutti.
