“It’s just one letter difference,” Eisenberg said over audience laughter.

One letter, plus some information about factory farmed turkeys, adopting live turkeys and delicious plant-based alternatives.

ABC has just announced a new evening show that will begin airing next fall.

The series, borrows its title from the network’s very popular Black-ish, but depicts the daily lives of a vegan family living in an ever-changing world that has redefined what it means to be vegan.

Vegan-ish, features a family that technically calls itself vegan, although several members don’t always fit the expected profile.

The mother and father went vegan years ago in the 70s when it was rare and hippyish. Their penchant for making and passing out pamphlets, holding vegan cookouts in the neighborhood and eco-friendly ideas are usually welcomed by the teenage children–with the exception of one suggestion to save water by having the family shower together.

2014 was a great year for vegetarian news. Here’s a look at the top stories Vegetarian Star feels were the most worthy.

#5. TODAY Hosts Do Real Vs. Faux Meat Taste Test. Al Roker, Matt Lauer and the crew agreed even a meat lover would enjoy digging their teeth in some of the faux cold cuts featured.
