Animal Planet cooking show

At first glance, Animal Planet seems like an odd channel for a cooking show. But their just-announced summer show, “Sweet Avenger,” actually does fit: It’s about a vegan baker who is a crusader for animal rights.

Danielle Konya, the founder and owner of Vegan Treats, says that she wants “to show people that by eating a vegan confection, you’re directly saving the lives of cows, chickens and thereby the environment and habitats of thousands of other exotic species. There’s nothing appetizing about the suffering of 10 billion animals a year, and my treats can satisfy both the palate and the conscience.”
