Jason and Mike talk Trader Joes, the good, the bad and the awesome! We talk about their controversial branding that some see as culturally insensitive. We discuss discontinued vegan items and Jason tells a story about working for a shady wine company. We name our favorite vegan items and give Trader Joes a sprout score from 1 to 5. How many sprouts will Trader Joes be awarded?

Jason Kartalian and Mike Keller run for the border in this exciting episode. We talk about how to veganize your fast food orders and present review of Vegan Taco Bell. We give the chain a "sprout" rating from one to five sprouts! How will Taco Bell fare? So many questions are presented: Is Mike a Taco Bell apologist? Does Satan own a fast food chain? Do hot sauce packets destroy the resale value of your Bentley? Jason offers a frighting Taco Bell story at the end, just in time for the Halloween season.
