All-vegan television network Plant-Based Network recently debuted on Roku streaming devices. Based in Charlotte, NC, the network aims to become a global media platform to help spread the message about the power of a plant-based lifestyle with a variety of television shows about vegan cooking, travel, health and fitness, education, and shopping. In addition to producing its own shows, the network has licensed popular shows already in existence, such as The Vegan Roadie, Vegan Mashup, EatMoveRest, and Nutrition Facts.
完全纯素的电视网络“植物性网络”最近在Roku流媒体设备上首次亮相。该电视网络总部位于美国北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市（Charlotte, NC），志在打造一个全球媒体平台，通过播放纯素食烹饪、旅游、健康与健身、教育和购物方面的各种各样的电视节目，帮助人们传播植物性生活方式力量的相关信息。除了本电视网络制作的节目，植物性网络还拥有其他渠道许可的现有流行节目，譬如The Vegan Roadie、Vegan Mashup、EatMoveRest、Nutrition Facts、等等。
Founders Ronnie “Tsunami” Gandiza, Joanna Gustafson, Paul DeBellis, and Steven Littlefield are working to add more shows and categories each week with the help of its Plant-Based Network Advisory Committee, which includes leaders and influencers in different industries and communities, such as plant-based doctors Joel Kahn and Michael Greger, entrepreneur Miyoko Schinner, racial equality advocate Milton Mills, professional athlete Luke Tan, and musician Gerardo Velez.
在顾问委员会的大力帮助下，植物性网络的创始人Ronnie “Tsunami” Gandiza、Joanna Gustafson、Paul DeBellis和Steven Littlefield一起共同努力，每个星期为本电视网络增加更多的节目和类别。植物性网络的顾问委员会成员包括来自不同行业和社区的领导者和影响者（influencer），诸如植物性医生Joel Kahn和Michael Greger、企业家Miyoko Schinner、种族平等倡导者Milton Mills、职业运动员Luke Tan、音乐家Gerardo Velez、等等。
“We were sick and tired of watching all the meat, dairy, and drug commercials, and all of the BBQ meat competitions on other TV networks, such as the Food Network, so we decided it was time to create a TV network that was completely plant-based but also fun, entertaining, inclusive, and positive,” Gandiza told VegNews.
甘迪萨向VegNews网站透露：“看到其他电视网络（如‘食品网络’，Food Network）上铺天盖地的肉类、奶制品和药品广告以及形形色色的烤肉比赛，我们早已经感到恶心和厌烦了。所以，我们决定应该创立一个有趣、娱乐、包容和积极的完全植物性的电视网络。”
“We wanted a TV network that was, in essence, a ‘safe place’ for plant-based fans and vegans to hang out and watch with their non-vegan friends and family. We also wanted to create a platform for plant-based businesses to share their products and services that make it so much easier for people to transition to, and live, a plant-based lifestyle.”
“我们心目中的这个电视网络本质上就是，植物性饮食爱好者和纯素食者以及他们的亲朋好友（非纯素食者）一起交流聚会和观看节目的‘安全之地’。此外，我们也希望为植物性企业创建一个宣传其产品和服务的平台，让人们更轻松容易地过渡到并恪守植物性生活方式。”
Viewers can watch a live stream or select shows on-demand for free through Roku, which has 32 million active subscribers, and on YouTube, Facebook, and the Plant-Based Network website. The network will also be available on Apple TV, Amazon Fire, and Android and iPhone devices within the coming months.
通过（拥有3200万活跃订户的）Roku平台或者在YouTube、Facebook和植物性网络的网站上，观众都可以免费观看（植物性网络的）现场直播或点播节目（shows on-demand）。未来几个月内，在Apple TV、Amazon Fire、Android和iPhone设备上，也将可以观看植物性网络的精彩节目。
