Dr. Laura Fox on a recent Supreme Court decision about animal welfare in California
Professor Laura Fox is the Douglas M. Costle Chair in Environmental Law and Director of the Farmed Animal Advocacy Clinic at Vermont Law & Graduate School.
In 2018, California voters approved Proposition 12, which prohibits the sale of pork, eggs, and veal from animals that were raised in extreme confinement and unsanitary conditions, regardless of where they were raised (in California or elsewhere). Groups with farming interests challenged this law. Recently, the Supreme Court rejected the challenge, upholding Proposition 12.
Professor Fox and I discuss the implications of this decision on animal welfare in the future, its food safety and public health effects, how her work fits in with her long-term veganism, and more. -

Dr. Scott Lear on the Mediterranean diet, oils, and what Forks Over Knives got wrong48: Dr. Scott Lear on the Mediterranean diet, oils, and what Forks Over Knives got wrong
You’ve probably heard a lot of the discussions. They may sing the praises of the Mediterranean diet, talk about the detrimental nature of oils, and frame Forks Over Knives as the be-all, end-all. Beyond the surface though, what does the actual science say?
Dr. Scott Lear has been a leading scientist in preventing heart disease for over 20 years. Scott is a professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University, and he conducts research into how lifestyle can prevent and manage heart disease - and other chronic diseases. He has heart disease himself and writes a bi-weekly blog (Become Your Healthiest You) and co-hosts the How to Health podcast to share his expertise and patient experience regarding healthy living. -

Dr. Gregory F. Tague on his book, The Vegan Evolution: Transforming Diets and Agriculture
Scholar, author, and editor Dr. Gregory Tague is on the show to discuss his book, The Vegan Evolution: Transforming Diets and Agriculture. We talk about how and why veganism needs to be the wave of the future for human and planetary health, educating young members of our society, and why anatomically modern humans are not born hunters and eaters of meat.
From Gregory’s book: “We are genetically predisposed to eat for survival, but we are not genetically programmed to eat meat three times a day any more than we are mechanized to eat candy bars.”
“The evolutionary case for veganism is about shifts in cultural attitudes, values, and beliefs that are advantageous to humans, ecosystems, and animals.”
Customer Reviews
Great plant based interviews
I listen primarily to the episodes about nutrition. It’s awesome to hear all of these interviews with fitness coaches, nutritionists, doctors and business owners. It allows me to be informed and educated right from home (I’m in the hot tub right now)!
Sadly misinformed and hurts the vegan community
I am always pleased when the vegan and vegan fitness community grows and promotes the amazing benefits of this lifestyle. But I was hugely disappointed to see an entire podcast dedicated to hating on the largest animal rights group, giving a one-sided opinion piece of PETA. It was misinformed, unscientific, and did nothing to promote an environment of vegans supporting other vegans. The reference that all vegans are turned off of PETA is ridiculous, considering PETA entities have more than 9 million members and supporters globally. I expected more!
So much goodness!
This podcast lives up to it's name... Karina always cuts through the nonsense to deliver actionable advice and motivational conversations! If you're a tried and true vegan or just dipping your toe into the waters of plant-based eating, it's a must listen. Super grateful for this resource!
