    In today's episode of The Disclosure Podcast, I discuss the recent announcement that Eleven Madison Park is going to be reintroducing meat.

    Has Switzerland tricked the vegan community? The truth about the new Swiss animal product labelling laws.

    Switzerland has just introduced new animal welfare labelling laws that will force companies to write on packaging if certain farming practices have been inflicted on animals. However, while this has been met with huge amounts of praise online, including from vegans, is there more to this story that we might be missing? In today's episode, I discuss my thoughts around the new labelling laws, highlighting what is positive about them, while also explaining why I think we should be more cautious about how we are viewing them.

    Unpacking the truth about ultra-processed plant-based alternatives, food politics, RFK Jr., and more | In Conversation with Marlana Malerich

    Is the fear around plant-based alternatives really based on science, and what does it teach us about the nature of misinformation? In today's episode, I chat with Marlana Malerich about plant-based alternatives, carnivore diets, seed oils, RFK Jr., meat lobby groups and more. Marlana Malerich is a PhD candidate at University of Sussex Business School where she is focussed on the plant-based industry in the U.K. and Europe. Prior to the PhD, she has worked over ten years at the intersection of food and sustainability, and has served as an adjunct assistant professor, focusing on animal agriculture and the future of protein. Marlana co–founded Rooted Research Collective, a group of multidisciplinary academics whose mission is to transform research insights into actionable and data-driven strategies for a sustainable plant-based food system.

    Are celebrities hurting the vegan movement?

    What role should celebrity culture have when it comes to veganism? From influencers becoming ‘ex-vegans’ for engagement, to celebrities backtracking on their vegan claims, the conversation around veganism is often diminished when it becomes absorbed within the fickle nature of fame and online content cycles.  In today’s episode, I explore the positives and negatives with using celebrity endorsements to add legitimacy to veganism.  For more exclusive content and personal writing from me, check out my Substack here. On my Substack, I share not only my own reflections and personal thoughts on veganism, but also my journey and struggles.

    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: "What about Indigenous fishers? Seaspiracy shouldn't be telling Indigenous communities not to fish." - Responding to: "It’s not right to tell the consumer what to do, Seaspiracy is gaslighting you." - Aquaculture Alliance & false statements. - What has the pushback from the industry been like so far? - Going in depth on the Earth Island Institute/Dolphin-Safe conversation. - Facing speciesism: caring  about dolphins more than tuna. - Explaining the great Pacific Garbage Patch statistic. - Did Cowspiracy force environmental organisations to change their messaging, and will Seaspiracy do the same? ✺ To support the show & get access to exclusive monthly podcast episodes: http://www.patreon.com/earthlinged ✺ Find out more about what I do & join my mailing list: http://www.earthlinged.org ✺ Download my free 122 page e-book: http://www.earthlinged.org/ebook ✺ Take a 22 day free vegan challenge: http://switchtovegan.co.uk ✺ Become a supporter of my activism (thank you!): http://www.earthlinged.org/support

    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.patreon.com/earthlinged ✺ Find out more about what I do & join my mailing list: http://www.earthlinged.org ✺ Download my free 122 page e-book: http://www.earthlinged.org/ebook ✺ Take a 22 day free vegan challenge: http://switchtovegan.co.uk ✺ Become a supporter of my activism (thank you!): http://www.earthlinged.org/support
