VEGAN & VICTORIOUS • STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, and steadfast dedication are the makings of the world’s greatest athletes. But what happens when blood, sweat, and tears aren’t enough to transform talented players into fierce competition? More and more, athletes are turning to veganism and plant-based diets to help them recover faster, play harder, and stay at the top of their game—and these knockout players are just the tip of the iceberg.

Finally, Vegan Breakfast at Starbucks • Starbucks has launched its most comprehensive plant-based menu yet in the US with new egg-free versions of its popular sous vide egg bites. The additions mark the coffee chain’s first partnership with vegan egg and chicken brands JUST Egg and Daring. The catch? The rollout is only a limited test in Washington, DC to gauge customer interest. But should the trial be a success, we could see these menu items at a café near us.

With that community comes understanding, hope, and potential for a future where true care and equitable treatments are accessible to all. Though the women’s rights movement has made great strides for the healthcare we have access to today, a historical lack of education around women’s health—paired with societal and religious outlooks on our bodies as a source of shame—have left many in the dark navigating their own wellness. Fortunately, women entrepreneurs have stepped up to the plate over the last decade with exciting developments in the "femtech" space—helping to take healthcare from clinical to personal, sexual pleasure from shameful to celebrated, and making community care a necessary part of any wellness journey.

shell shock • Eggs have long been viewed as a wholesome, nutritious food for humans—an omnipresent ingredient in everything from early-morning bites to late-night drinks. But the demand for them comes at the cost of hundreds of millions of lives each year. Author Marla Rose dives deep into the history of how eggs came to our plates, the brutal industry that gets them there today, and a hopeful future where eggs can be enjoyed without harm.
