    Ep 32: The Disruption of Seaspiracy & The Race Against Time to Debunk the Facts

    Seaspiracy hit Netflix on March 24th, and I don't think even the vegan community were prepared for the huge impact it was about to have. Trending across the globe and hitting #1 on Netflix in the UK, the power of Seaspiracy cannot be overstated. An outpouring of news articles, statements in response, and a 'debunking' of the facts presented soon followed. Today I'm discussing Seaspiracy, the impact that it's had and some of the criticisms it's received.In today's episode:- Responding to: "Wha...

    Ep 31: The Full Story of How I Became Vegan & Never Looked Back

    In today's episode I look back upon the moments in my life that acted as building blocks towards me making the switch from passionate KFC lover to vegan. I used to love eating fried chicken, I was always up for a trip to the zoo, and as a child I laughed at vegetarians. So, what happened? And how can reflecting back on what helped us make the switch to vegan help us become better advocates? ✺ To support the show & get access to exclusive monthly podcast episodes: http://www.pa...

    Ep 28: How to Get Through Christmas as a Vegan

    Christmas can be a very challenging time of year for vegans. During a time of celebration, seeing our loved ones perpetuate so much death and suffering can be extremely overwhelming. Dead bodies on the dining table and confrontations surrounding our choice not to hurt animals, there can be a lot of pressure, a lot of judgement and ultimately a lot of reasons to worry about Christmas as a vegan. I hope today's episode can help you! In today's episode:- How can we actually enjoy this time of ye...

    Ep 27: Are Vegans 43% More Likely to Break Bones Compared to Meat Eaters?

    During the past couple of weeks there has been a media frenzy surrounding an EPIC-Oxford study that concluded that vegans have a higher risk of bone fractures. Headlines such as, "Meat-free diets linked with greater risk of breaking bones" and, "‘It is a worry’: The truth about veganism and bone health" littered news websites and flooded onto social media. Even Joe Rogan shared the study, as even though he has often criticised epidemiology that supports veganism, he clearly considers this to ...

    Ep 25: Reflecting on Life Before Veganism - How the World Never Looks the Same Again When You Go Vegan

    I was once disappointed that I wasn't able to see an orca performing at an aquarium I was visiting, I once bet on horses with friends, and I once ate animal products every single day. But once I went vegan, everything changed. Your perspective on the world radically shifts, as if a blindfold has been removed. Suddenly everything looks different, and suddenly, there seems to be suffering everywhere you look. Perhaps the most difficult, and most challenging part of this is the sudden realisatio...
