Episode 123: Philosophy, Ethics, and the Joy of Going Vegan: Matt Halteman's Compassionate Approach to Food Guest: Dr. Matthew Halteman Host: Dr. Frank Sabatino Presented by: National Health Association Episode Summary In this episode of the Health Science Podcast, Dr. Frank Sabatino sits down with Dr. Matthew Halteman, a professor of philosophy at Calvin University and fellow at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. Dr. Halteman is a passionate advocate for animal rights and food justice, serving on the advisory boards of organizations such as the Better Food Foundation and CreatureKind. He is also the author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan—a book that explores the ethical, philosophical, and joyful aspects of a plant-based lifestyle. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Halteman shares his journey into philosophy and animal advocacy, discusses the intersection of ethics and food choices, and offers insight into the transformative power of veganism—not just for personal health, but for the well-being of animals, the environment, and society. The discussion also explores the deeper philosophical and hermeneutic perspectives that shape our food systems and worldviews. Key Topics Discussed Dr. Halteman's background in philosophy and his journey into animal advocacy The role of philosophy in helping people examine their food choices The ethical and existential dimensions of veganism How our personal, emotional, and social attachments shape our relationship with food The mechanistic worldview and its impact on our treatment of animals and nature The concept of Shalom and its relevance to food justice and compassionate eating How to approach veganism as a joyful, evolving journey rather than an all-or-nothing mindset Addressing cognitive dissonance and embracing an ethical, holistic lifestyle The importance of joy, flourishing, and connection in the vegan movement About Matthew Halteman Dr. Matthew Halteman is a professor of philosophy at Calvin University and a fellow at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. His work focuses on applied ethics, particularly animal and food ethics. He has authored multiple books, including Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan, Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation, and Philosophy Comes to Dinner (co-edited with Andrew Chignell and Terence Cuneo). Beyond academia, he has co-founded and convened events such as the Animals and the Kingdom of God Lecture Series and the Wake Up Weekend Festival, both of which promote awareness and education on ethical eating and animal advocacy.

In this episode of Plant Based Curious, host Diane Randall sits down with Matthew Halteman, philosophy professor, Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics fellow, and author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan. Together, they flip the script on veganism, exploring how it's not about restriction—but about abundance, joy, and alignment with our deepest values.   Key Takeaways: Matthew reframes veganism as a celebration of what we're for—creaturely flourishing, emotional coherence, and moral alignment.  Quote: “Vegans aren't just avoiding harm—we're harmonizing with the world.”     Why self-compassion and small steps matter more than perfection.  How to navigate social pressures (like Thanksgiving!) without guilt.  Start with curiosity, not obligation. Try a “Vegan Weeknight” to experiment joyfully.   Matthew's tip: “Feed your curiosity with what feels natural—whether it's plant-based recipes or documentaries about animal intelligence.”    Why judgment backfires—and how leading with empathy invites others to join the journey.  Standout Quotes:   “Going vegan aggregates joy in ways I've never seen—better health, richer relationships, and a planet that thrives.” —Matthew Halteman  “Progress over perfection. Even 1% shifts create 100% transformation.” —Diane Randall   Resources Mentioned:   

Episode 1000! Hidden Tool To Become A Happy, Easy-Going Vegan Despite What You Know, by Dr Clare Mann at VeganPsychologist.com. 1000 episodes, wow! It's been quite the journey, publishing episodes every weekday for almost 4 years. I love curating and narrating, with permission, articles written by experts on the myriad of reasons to live a plant based and vegan lifestyle. Delivering the articles in short audio format allows you to listen while doing other things. (And a huge thank you to Justin Malik at OldPodcast.com for the inspiration and help getting started.)  In today's episode I share a sweet letter a listener sent for the 1000th episode and then an article from vegan Psychologist Clare Mann, a new contributor who was also instrumental in my journey with her book Vystopia and her Facebook support group.  Also check out her Free Vystopia Masterclass March 3-5, 2025: https://veganpsychologist.com/master-class-register/ #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #vystopia #injustice #HermeticPrinciples #KybalianPhilosophy #animalabuse  ========================== Original post: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hidden-tool-become-happy-easy-going-vegan-despite-what-clare-mann-obbfc  Book: Vystopia The Anguish of Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World: https://veganpsychologist.com/step/vystopia-book-landing/  The Whole Foods Diet: The Lifesaving Plan for Health and Longevity: https://a.co/d/7xc2dCt    ============ Related Episodes:  100: What's Wrong With Veganism?

She became vegan 16 years ago, after realizing 30 years of vegetarianism was totally inadequate if I wanted to do everything possible to not use or exploit animals. The skills she acquired through a successful career as an organisational psychologist, university lecturer and speaker, are now applied to help vegans become confident, hopeful vegan conversationalists who are ushering in a kinder vegan world. Having lived with the Burden of Knowing vegans are so familiar with, she stood up to the medical world that diminishes our anguish as unnecessary. She therefore coined the phrase Vystopia and now helps vegans all over the world develop powerful ways to become vegan change makers.

This week's show is with Matthew C. Halteman. Matthew is professor of philosophy at Calvin University (MI, USA) and the Oxford Centre for Animals Ethics (UK). He is the author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan and co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments about the Ethics of Eating. Matthew's work is driven by deep commitments to human flourishing, animal freedom, food systems transformation, and communal cooperation to realise as much truth, beauty, and goodness as we collectively can. He loves Arsenal Football Club, the television show Twin Peaks, and vegan desserts (especially tiramisu!). In this rich and thought-provoking conversation, Lian and Matt explore the profound intersections between dietary choices, ethics, and the search for a more liberated way of living. Matt shares how his agricultural roots once framed his understanding of food, only for a childhood visit to a slaughterhouse to plant a seed of dissonance that would take decades to fully bloom. Through philosophy, emotional connection, and a series of serendipitous interventions, he found himself drawn to a new way of being - one that prioritises creaturely flourishing over rigid ideology. The conversation weaves through the personal and the mythical, touching on the tensions between authenticity and openness, the allure of fundamentalism, and the freedom found in conscious food choices. Lian also reflects on her own lifelong path as a vegan, seeing it through a fresh lens of self-inquiry and deeper meaning. This is not just a discussion about diet; it's an invitation to rethink our most ordinary, intimate rituals - what we eat, why we eat it, and how that shapes the world we create. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Food is more than sustenance—it is ritual, identity, and philosophy. Whether we realise it or not, our dietary choices are woven into our values, relationships, and personal mythologies. Flourishing matters more than dogma. Instead of rigid rules, Matt invites us to see going vegan not as an ‘ism' but as an aspiration—one that prioritises the joy and freedom of all living beings rather than simply avoiding harm. The mythical exists in the mundane. By examining something as fundamental as food, we open doors to greater self-awareness, transformation, and connection to the sacred in everyday life.

In our fifth episode of this second series of 'Going Vegan', we speak to Elena who tells us about growing up in rural Spain, how an unexpected parallel between her twin sister's academic textbook led her to vegetarianism, and how the waters became muddied when a real desire to live as a vegan for moral and ethical reasons...was paired with disordered eating.We're incredibly grateful for Elena's vulnerability in sharing such a personal story, and hope that in so doing we can all learn from her experience. If however, hearing a conversation that covers the topic of eating disorders feels a bit much right now, then do of course find a different show to listen to.

He is the author of Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation and coeditor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments About the Ethics of Eating. Matthew puts a hopeful spin on going vegan in his new book and helps us to frame the issue with positivity and joy. Hope and Matt explore veganism as a philosophy and how we can deepen the vegan conversation to apply to every aspect of life.

Vegans have a marketing problem: they're perceived to be annoying, self-righteous, judgmental, and inflexible. Author Matthew Halteman's book Hungry Beautiful Animals is designed to fix that perception and make veganism more appealing and less threatening. Visit his website about Hungry Beautiful Animals. Matthew Halteman and I discuss his book Hungry Beautiful Animals. Here's the timeline of our discussion in case you want to skip to a section. 00:00 Intro 04:30 Marketing Problem? 07:00 Practical Tips 10:00 Kindergarten Values 12:00 Abstract food 16:30 Aspirations 20:40 Fish Watch the Video Book review In his excellent book "The Better Angels of Our Nature," Steven Pinker observed that humanity has become less barbarous with each passing century. Consider the improvements to: - Women's rights - Gay rights - Racism - Slavery - Death penalty - Wars - Prisons Pinker was asked, "What will people in the 22nd century think of us? What are we doing that will seem barbarous and immoral to future humans?" Pinker said (I'm paraphrasing), "The way almost everyone financially supports the barbarous and inhumane treatment of animals by buying and eating animals." True. Today's vegans are like the anti-slavery people 200 years ago: annoying, and everyone wished they would just go away. How can vegans be more inviting? It seems like an all-or-nothing club.  This book says, "Relax. You're welcome to join the tribe." Hungry Beautiful Animals is a vibrant and engaging exploration of veganism.  The book stands out for its joyful and inclusive approach, aiming to transform the often polarizing topic of veganism into an inviting conversation.  Halteman's writing can be too verbose, but it is filled with humor and anecdotes that resonate regardless of one's dietary choices. ### Key Themes - Joy and Kindness: Halteman emphasizes that adopting a vegan lifestyle can be a source of joy rather than a burden. He encourages readers to view veganism as a journey filled with possibilities rather than a strict set of rules that can lead to feelings of shame or guilt.    - Personal Stories: The book is rich with anecdotes that illustrate the interconnectedness of all living beings. For instance, Halteman reflects on moments his dog (Gus), who inspired him to write this book. - Community Focus: Halteman invites readers from all backgrounds to join in a collective movement towards kindness and compassion for animals, promoting the idea that everyone is welcome in this exploration of veganism, even if you're not hardcore, full-time. - Practical Guidance: Beyond philosophical discussions, the book provides practical suggestions for leading a more animal-friendly life, including tips on creating pollinator-friendly habitats in one's yard. The book offers profound insights and the ability to provoke thought without condemnation.  It is an engaging read that challenges preconceived notions about veganism while fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. Overall, Hungry Beautiful Animals is a book about veganism and an invitation to live more compassionately and joyfully with all beings. VERDICT: 9 out of 10 stars!

In this episode, Jayda sits down with plant-based chef Ben Rebuck to explore the intersections of food, identity, and activism. They kick things off by discussing why Veganuary feels less and less relevant, why that is actually a good thing and Ben's reflections on how veganism has shifted culturally as well as why he thinks reframing plant-based food as simply food makes it more accessible. They share their strong connection with food and eating as Jews and Jayda asks to Ben how he stays connected to the food traditions of his Jewish identity as a vegan and he shares how he has embraced the creativity of reimagining classic recipes in a vegan way. Jayda and Ben go on to discuss Jewish Joy deeper, the power of preserving cultural traditions, the importance of finding joy in community, and the unique challenges of being part of a very small but vibrant minority. Ben opens up about navigating social media as a Jewish creator over the last 18 months, confronting antisemitism, and how he's embraced the role of shielding his family and community from harm online. Going deeper into this, they discuss the complex and fascinating parallel between far-left and far-right ideologies of late, particularly when it comes to antisemitism. It's a powerful, thought-provoking episode that celebrates food and the enduring importance of tradition.Follow Ben RebuckFollow Jayda GFollow Here's Hoping PodcastMore on our guest Ben Rebuck is the face behind @benrebuck, a popular social media account in which he shows people how to make simple plant-based meals.

A serious addiction was sending Michelle Oberg to an early grave. But it wasn't an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Even though she was substantially overweight, Michelle just could not stop eating pizza.   It may seem puzzling to mention pizza in the same breath as cocaine or whiskey, but for Michelle Oberg the addiction had it hooks in as deep as any that would traditionally send a person to rehab.   The result of her out of control eating was a heinously inflamed body that was struggling to function. Her triglycerides and c-peptide levels were incomprehensibly high. Meanwhile, migraine headaches had become all too common along with painful gout flareups. At the same time her weight was spiraling out of control.   Despite growing sicker and heavier every day she still couldn't say no to pizza. Then she finally hit rock bottom and began to climb out of a dark hole and began breaking the chains of addiction and shedding the pounds that had been holding her back.   In an extraordinary story of what is possible, Michelle shares her journey of resilience with fellow food addict Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. She found strength and success after she began to eat a plant-based diet. And today she is thriving. Her goal is to inspire others struggling with demons to dig deep and make the change as well.   Key points discussed include:   Personal journey: Michelle recounts her history with food addiction and how it intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. She discusses her initial struggles with giving up pizza and the support she found in an online group for food addiction.   Transition to a vegan diet: As she worked on her food addiction, Michelle began to explore veganism and whole food plant-based diets. She describes how she replaced pizza with healthier options like chickpea curry and salads.   Compassion and self-love: Michelle reflects on how she finds it easier to have compassion for others than for herself, and how this realization has been part of her healing journey.   Motivations: Michelle shares her family history of health issues, including heart disease and Alzheimer's, which motivates her to continue making healthier choices. She wants to break the cycle of diseases in her family.   Ongoing journey: Michelle acknowledges that she still has about 30 pounds to lose and emphasizes the importance of making informed dietary choices. She discusses her favorite foods and healthy habits that she has adopted, such as preparing a specific salad dressing regularly.   — — SHOW LINKS — — Michelle Oberg IG: https://www.instagram.com/pizza_addict_to_vegan Website: https://pizzaaddicttovegan.blog — — EVENTS — — Dr. Bulsiewicz and Chuck in Miami Where: Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash Date: March 7, 2025 https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

Dr Matthew C Halteman is a professor of philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan and a fellow at the Oxford Centre of Animal Ethics. Beside his academic work, Matthew is on the board of directors for The Better Food Foundation and Creature Kind, and he's the author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan.Matt urges us to stop looking for moral perfectionism and accept mistakes and dead ends are part of being human. He encourages listeners to look for light coming through the cracks, and he advocates shifting from scarcity mode to an abundance mindset to stay positive. His career and veganism comes from finding his way, rather than a particular plan, shaped by being an anxious young person at a time when there was less support and understanding. He thought he'd train for a career in law but instead turned to philosophy, which opened his mind and made better sense of the world.The story of Matt's first meeting with his then-girlfriend's scary father, a successful businessman, is poignant and personal. To Matthew's surprise and relief, his now father-in-law was a strong advocate of philosophy studies among young executives.A bulldog called Gus, and friend and fellow philosopher Nathan Nobis, of Morehouse College, Atlanta, and Matt's wife Susan, helped him change his omnivorous eating habits. And while veganism is his own ethical and philosophical choice, it's not something Matt would insist his children followed throughout adulthood (though he'd be pleased if they did).Finally, and curiously, Matthew is an avid follower of Arsenal Football Club – the English Premiership (soccer) team also known as The Gunners. He's also interested the vegan football team Forest Green Rovers, which is supported by planet and plant advocate, Dale Vince.LinksMatthew C.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Matthew Halteman, Professor of Philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and fellow in the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, UK. He is the author of the just-released Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan, as well as Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation, and the co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments About the Ethics of Eating.Matt has focused his career on ethical food choices, and how that all fits in with the path to sustainable living. He and Ted discuss his new book, and how he aims to shift how people view the process of going vegan, framing it as a joyful opportunity rather than an obligation. He views it as an incremental journey rather than an identity earned by perfection. He points out that veganism is aspirational, and something to continually strive towards. He also considers how one can live out going vegan in realistic and adaptable ways, giving advice particularly to college students. He encourages them to work towards the end goal of a vegan life, while accommodating the limitations of prepaid meal plans that may not prioritize a wide array of vegan options. He suggests these students can be preparing for more intentional dietary changes for when they have more food autonomy.He concludes by drawing similarities between his theory of change, and EcoMotion's philosophy of "The Power of the Increment." He encourages his readers to take small steps that move them in the direction toward veganism, refusing to expect perfection or judgement when falling short based on access or circumstance, especially when there is continual striving and incremental growth in that direction.

Today I have a total treat for you in that you'll get to meet one of my favorite podcasters, Michele Olender, vegan life coach and host of the Vedge your Best Podcast.You know me and the way I talk about veganism, I meet people where they're at, I respect the journey and timing of each person, I understand and have empathy for the fact that this change happens differently for different people. I'm not a proponent of adding shame, blame or guilt, or the idea of reaching perfection when you're on this journey to eating more plants and living vegan. I'm telling you all this because although I listen to a ton of podcasts, I don't listen to a lot of vegan podcasts. It's a short list of timeless shows from advocates who I feel talk about these issues in a way that is actually practical, joyful, doable and fun, without excessive fear mongering and like you're talking to a knowledgeable friend. All this to say that Michele's podcast is all about the motivation, all about the inspiration, she has the best voice in the podcasting universe, so soothing that listening to her is like meditating. Most importantly, she talks about these issues and making the transition to veganism in a way that is truly inspiring and refreshing. In today's conversation we talk about her own journey into this lifestyle and why being an advocate for her daughter started a path of her own that transformed her life (we wouldn't have her incredible podcast without it!). We talk about life stages and going vegan later in life, aging, and what different life stages brought to the table for her. We discuss that process of embracing that we're getting older, and we swap opinions of the current focus on longevity. She shares all about the role of a coach and how she supports her clients in making big changes, we get into hot territory discussing ex-vegans, and she gives us some great takeaways when it comes to what to expect when going vegan or making any big life change. Michele Olender is a Podcaster and Vegan Life Coach with a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and eCornell. She specializes in helping individuals to start, RE-start, or re-energize their vegan or plant based practice at any age. Vedge Your Best Podcast has published an episode every week since September 2020, and it's the only podcast aimed at teaching midlife women how to limit and eliminate the consumption of animal products without feeling deprived, overwhelmed or unsupported, even if no one you know is vegan. She shows you how living vegan is the superpower that will unlock your possibilities and give you the confidence to take on your next impossible goal, by doing it YOUR way. That is perhaps, the quality I admire most about Michele, she skips the dogma and goes straight to meeting people where they're at, while still challenging you, as all good coaches do.

It is rare that after 12 years of being vegan I come across a book on veganism that surprises me with such a jolt that I find myself dedicating not one podcast episode to it but two. If you missed last week's episode of the podcast I sat down to have the most thrilling chat with Matthew Halteman, author of the book Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan, professor of philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and fellow in the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, UK, and although he articulates the essence of this book much better than I ever could, I wanted to do what we do with the books we find to be incredibly inspiring, to beg the people that sit in a circle in our figurative living room, all clutching their own paper gems to discuss, and beg them to make this the next book club pick. The great news is that when we have a book club episode in the More Plants Podcast, we have no one to convince, other than all our listeners when I say, whether you're a new vegan, veg curious, a seasoned vegan, or someone grappling with the ethics of eating animals, you must get this book, and I'll share why in today's episode.

In this lively episode of Vegans Who Lift (Season 4, Episode 7), co-hosts John Thomas, the Bodybuilding Vegan, and Brooke Sellers, aka Miss Meatless Muscle, dive into a festive, light-hearted discussion blending Halloween fun, Thanksgiving traditions, and veganism. They explore the quirks of classic Halloween movies, strategies for surviving food-centric holidays as a vegan, and surprising facts about Thanksgiving traditions. With humorous banter and insightful reflections, this episode is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Every now and then I read a book that creates such an impact in the way I see things that I can't keep it to myself. I feel the need to reach out from my microphone and into your headphones and lure you with an invisible finger with the smell of fresh vegan croissants, out of your chair, only this time, to your local bookstore, to get what I now consider to be the best book on veganism I've ever read. Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Matt Halteman author of the book in question: Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan. He is a professor of philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan and fellow at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, UK. You've got to leave it to a philosopher to connect our inner world, ethics, activism for animals and the practicalities of life and our messy habits in such a way that you'll feel yourself entering the pages of his book and wondering if the room has started spinning or it's your entire inner world, readjusting itself piece by piece, thinking of your daily choices in an entirely new way, where also, finally, shame and blame have no place on the page. I don't know how he did it, but only a true master and teacher of philosophy can take a framework many of us find intimidating and present it in a way where you feel you're more in a pub and less in a lecture hall, with someone who is wicked smart, telling you a story with so much wit and perfect writing you'll wonder why you ever thought philosophy and ethics could be a dry subject. Today's conversation with Matt, was exactly that, a perfect example of what you get in the pages of the book: an inspiring and hopeful talk about the choices we make, the belief systems we have, and how we can take steps to align our values and ethics with our daily habits. We talk about his own journey of going vegan after having three catalysts, including a four legged friend named Gus, he shares how his family's animal farming background inspired his own path in an unusual way, why going vegan, being an aspiring vegan is a headspace we all want to hang out in, whether we've been vegan for 2 months or 2 decades. The role of comparison, shame and blame and why it's time for a shift in vegan advocacy and in our own view of a beautiful and possible world where we go from scarcity to flourishing. We get into those vegan ethical conundrums, how we can navigate relationships with loved ones who eat and live differently through knowledge and full acceptance of our “inner family” (perhaps the best part of this episode for me). More so than anything else, Matt will leave you intoxicated with joy and hope for the animals, our own inner peace and our place on this planet. When I sat down to record with Matt he was sitting in his office with the most impressive bookshelves filled with titles from one end to the other, but you'd never guess that a professor, a writer, a philosopher, can take you on a ride so fun and engaging that he has without a doubt developed one of the skills I admire most in a human, to take excessive amounts of interesting and intricate knowledge and centuries old wisdom, and give it to you straight. I loved his book so much we'll be having a separate installment with a special book club in depth look in our next episode, something you know I reserve for books that have made a profound impact in my life and have stuck with me in a way where, when someone asks that cruel question of “tell me what your top favorite books are”, the cover just appears in your mind's eye as if betraying all the others. In one of the most fun conversations I've had in our podcast, enjoy Matt Halteman, and his Hungry Beautiful Animals.

  When compassion meets healthy eating, one is left to wonder where the road leads. In this week's episode of the Veganpreneur REVOLUTION Podcast, Dr. Angela Crawford shares her journey from compassion to vegan advocacy, offering profound insights into aligning values with lifestyle choices and the broader implications of veganism.   The Journey to Veganism: A Story of Compassion and Change   Dr. Angela Crawford's transition to veganism stemmed from a place of deep compassion. Raised on a traditional American diet, she remained unaware of the food industry's hidden cruelties until a PBS feature exposed the harsh realities of meat processing plants. This pivotal moment ignited her empathy, leading her to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle before fully committing to veganism. Her personal journey underscores how compassion for animals and workers can drive significant life changes and expand our understanding of our food choices.   Aligning Values with Lifestyle: The Psychological Impact of Veganism   In her book, The Vegan Transformation: A Mind, Body, Spirit Journey to Healing Yourself and the World, Dr. Crawford explores the psychological benefits of veganism. She identifies seven core principles—values, vision, authentic fulfillment, love, unity, empathy, and self-empowerment—that emerged from her research. Crawford's findings highlight how living in alignment with one's values enhances personal well-being and fosters a deeper connection with the world.   Overcoming Cultural Conditioning: Bridging the Vegan Gap   Promoting veganism often involves overcoming entrenched cultural conditioning. Dr. Crawford explains that societal norms and food addictions create blind spots, making it challenging for many to consider a plant-based lifestyle. Psychological barriers and misconceptions, such as concerns about dietary restrictions and social acceptance, frequently deter people from transitioning. Addressing these obstacles is crucial for effective advocacy and support.  

According to Pew Research Center, 8% of Black Americans are vegans or vegetarians, compared to just 3% of the general population.

In today's episode of our "Why Vegan" series, we're talking about the impact eating a meat and dairy based diet has on our environment. Until I began to read about these issues, I had never really sat down to think about the chain of production of the foods I consumed, the resources these products required to land on supermarket shelves, let alone the huge consequences they had on our environment and our fellow humans and animals in turn. Today we explore all of these issues and I share some mind-blowing statistics, great studies and resources, finishing the episode off in a very positive light, with the hope that lies in knowing that we have so much power to make a change as individuals.

One of our most downloaded series in the podcast is back! Our "Why Vegan" series is meant to give you all the information on why so many people are switching to a plant-based diet and a vegan lifestyle. Newly updated, revamped, including new information and data, all in the hopes that it continues to inspire you, or it serves to arm you with information and knowledge on some of these issues, or it serves as a great place to point people to who have questions and want an opener into these topics. We'll be covering, the reasons why people go vegan when it comes to health (today's episode), the environment, animals, our fellow humans, and an unexpected one that happened at least for me, going vegan and how it brought so many benefits to my relationship with food and body. Today we'll be covering the evidence and link between vegan diets and health outcomes when it comes to some of the most common chronic diseases, I'll guide you to the scientific evidence and professionals who do such a great job at giving us or helping us understand the science behind dietary patterns. I'll talk a bit about my own journey and I'll share an important side of the equation (perhaps more than statistics in public health), that you should focus on when making the transition to a plant-based diet. We also talk about another important aspect of health on an individual and a more global scale that is closely linked to the farming of animals and more. If you've been wondering "is it safe and healthy to eat a vegan diet?" "will I get all the nutrients I need on a vegan diet?" or "will a plant-based diet help my health"?, we cover it all in this episode. This one is jam packed with great resources and information, so don't forget to check out the show notes here, or visit our blog at www.brownble.com

Twin brothers Jeremy and Jordan Allen both suffered from alopecia. Clumps of hair would fall out leaving embarrassing bald patches on their heads that were impossible to miss.   They tried countless treatments and home remedies to regrow their hair. Nothing worked until they began eating a vegan diet. They say changing the way they eat enabled them to begin regrowing their hair and helps their body fight the autoimmune disease that caused the hair loss.   Together they are co-founders of All Love No Beef and join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room to share their inspirational journey.   — — SHOW LINKS — — All Love No Beef Website: https://www.alllovenobeef.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alllovenobeef Auto Immune Condition and Diet Forks Over Knives: https://bit.ly/AutoImmForksKnives — — UPCOMING EVENTS — — Exam Room LIVE with the Esselstyn Family Tickets: https://bit.ly/ERLiveinDC23 Who: Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn with Ann, Rip, and Jane.
