"Anything that's going to hold people back in any way, from eating plant-based, is a road block to progress."Today we are chatting to Bill Muir, AKA Sergeant Vegan. As the name suggests, Bill is a combat veteran. He's also a registered nurse and speaker. Bill is someone who has a very unique story, being plant based since 1992 he's gone through war zones and army training eating exclusively plants. I love Bill's confidence and demeanour, amongst the societal belief that veganism is for feminine individuals, Bill literally takes that concept and throws it out the window. I think everyone will take a little bit out of this episode, but I hope in particular the men listening can really extinguish any belief left in them that they are feminine because they don't eat animal body parts. This conversation will have us talking about the battlefield, his experience in the army, following your ethics and being a militant activist.Video version:  https://youtu.be/1A35OmJ0h6oThe key topics in today's episode:05:00 - Bill's vegan discovery 30 years ago10:00 - Joining the military as a vegan21:00 - Being a militant vegan25:00 - Eating animals is weird28:00 - Using words such as rape and genocide33:00 - Becoming more personable in conversations39:00 - Don't become paralysed from information40:30 - Is there a place for militancy?51:00 - What helps the animals the most57:00 - Words of wisdomConnect with Bill:Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/sgt_vegan/Website | https://sgtvegan.com/Connect with me:Instagram | @plant.paradigmYouTube | The Plant ParadigmTwitter | @plantparadigmWebsite | www.theplantparadigm.comSupport the show | Buy me a coffeeSubscribe to the podcast:Apple | Spotify | Stitcher |Stay happy,Eat plants,Peace
