Dreams, Memes & Veggie Supremes

On episode 11 of Dreams, Memes & Veggie Supremes we tackle some of those crazy cases of pseudoscience that are still floating around. Everything from anti-vaxx and detox, to chemtrails and crystals. At the end, we also answer some of your questions in the AMA! For the pizza, we went simple with a vegan margherita from Domino's - for the full pizza review check out the video version (link below). Get some discussion going in the comments - we want to know if you love us, hate us, agreed with us, vehemently disagreed with us, just here for the pizza, whatever - leave them below! w/Video Version: youtu.be/lURJ3TIbunU

On episode 9 of Dreams, Memes & Veggie Supremes, we cover the topic of 'cutting', or simply losing body fat.

We also had a few AMAs from both our live audience (of 2 close friends) and online listeners. We hope you enjoy! [No video version this week]

After smashing a Mediterranean-style pizza from a local pizza joint (Gorilla Pizza), we sunk our teeth into the contemporary topic of Digital Health. We specifically chose to focus on the positives and negatives of social media and online platforms as an outlet for health information. But just don't listen to us - get involved in the conversation! We only covered a small section of what is a much larger discussion, so please, leave a comment below and give your opinion! w/video version: youtu.be/mP3PM4il4e4

On the fifth instalment of Dreams, Memes and Veggie Supremes, we tackle issues surrounding vegetarianism, and why we both have the position that it is a half measure to the logically consistent practice of veganism. We cover the health, environmental, and of course ethical implications surrounding this topic, and also answer some relevant questions from you - our lovely audience. But before discussing the topic, we smash a 'Cheeseburger' pizza from Gorilla Pizza - a local pizza joint in Brighton, South Australia - and give our thoughts. Apologies for the temporarily weird-sounding audio close to the start of the episode; I had a lot of fun audio syncing. w/Video version: https://youtu.be/OI4gCQ435qY
