Tenderly readers,
Thanks for being here. From where we sit, change is happening rapidly all over the world in ways that are both incredibly hopeful and often painful. We at Tenderly are committed to this fight for racial equality, specifically for defunding police and reimagining incarceration, for the long haul, and we are thinking about ways for our coverage to reflect that commitment. We know that we can start by continuing to amplify diverse voices in food, animal rights, and the environmental movement. And we’re also here to help you find joy, sustenance, camaraderie, and a connection to this beautiful planet along the way.
New from Macken: Pangolins Didn’t Cause Coronavirus
Every five minutes, a pangolin is taken from the wild. This means that before you reach the end of this story, some helpless pangolin will be kidnapped for a life of abject misery ending in slaughter.
Arabella bought vegan condensed milk, and after some experimentation, perfected a recipe for Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge (🤤).
Without bats, we wouldn’t have mangos, bananas, or tequila. Also, they’re the only non-human animal known to regularly perform oral sex during reproduction (!!!). Time to give bats the respect they deserve.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EAT?
A vegan recipe recommendation from the Tenderly archives
Jessie Roth’s Yuba Reuben is the perfect sandwich: juicy, tangy, textural, and satisfying. You’ll need yuba, or tofu skin, to make it — which is a great excuse to visit your local Asian supermarket, if such a thing exists where you are. These stores are full of vegan treasures, from faux-beef to pickled mustard greens. And tofu skin! Such an underrated ingredient, and put to incredible use here in this dream-wich.
