Vegan, Really?

Vegan Really

Hi, we're Nastya and Yann, a couple who loves to experiment. We live in Belgium, but we both grew up in developing countries. In this podcast we talk about veganism from the inside - for this we become vegan for a month. Becoming vegan seems like a big sacrifice for our lifestyle. And yet veganism is considered to have a positive effect on our planet and even our health. So how hard is it, to be vegan? And is it really necessary? These and many other topics we will be discussing in "Vegan, really?". But at the centre of it all will be our adventure - with its challenges, benefits and obstacles that we expect to face as vegans.

    One person to save the world

    More and more people are willing to change their lifestyle for the sake of the planet. More are protesting. Almost every day we hear about new protests for animal rights or about climate change - reasons why people choose to go vegan. Do these actions make a difference? What is a proper protest? Does throwing food at paintings help the planet? And how important is veganism at the scale of the planet? In short, personal responsibility is the topic of this episode.
