Customer Reviews
Why...?
The most random thing yet is quite good
YES
I’m a new listener, but this is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts! I love all of the fact based research and vegan products that you are showing us! Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing the interview with Dr. McDougall. It is interesting when you tell people you’ve switched to a whole food, plant-based diet and the first reaction is always, “you’re not getting enough protein or you’re eating too many carbs”. Being able to counter with the fact that there is no supportive documentation showing deficiencies associated with a whole food, plant-based diet makes it easier to talk about.
