Ryan has an important question for the audience. Plus, more dating rants.
In this high-energy episode of the What Are You Made Of?, host Mike "C-Roc" sits down with fitness and nutrition coach Karina Inkster to unpack what it truly means to live with conviction, compassion, and critical thinking. Karina, author of five books, host of the No-B.S. Vegan, and a Masters graduate in Gerontology specializing in health and aging, shares how a childhood realization about her pet hamster sparked a lifelong commitment to ethical veganism. What began as an 11-year-old's moral awakening evolved into a 23-year plant-based journey rooted not only in animal ethics, but also in climate action, evidence-based nutrition, and long-term health optimization.Together, Mike "C-Roc" and Karina tackle the biggest myths in the fitness and wellness industry—from protein fears and muscle-building on a vegan diet to food industry conflicts of interest and the influence of marketing over science. Karina explains how strength, longevity, and performance are fully achievable on a plant-based diet when calories and protein are properly matched, and why skepticism—not cynicism—is essential in today's social media-driven health culture. With humor, honesty, and zero fluff, this conversation explores aging, muscle growth, Mediterranean vs. vegan diets, and the deeper question at the heart of it all: what are you made of when your values are tested?Website-www.karinainkster.com Social Media Links/Handleshttps://www.facebook.com/karina.i.m.inksterhttps://www.instagram.com/karinainkster/?hl=en
Ryan’s back. He shares his frustrations with the dating apps and talks about what the show will be like moving forward
Why are the new dietary guidelines pushing full-fat dairy and red meat? Is saturated fat actually a healthy fat? And is Dr. Oz wrong for referring to alcohol as a "social lubricant"? In this episode, Amy exposes the conflicting nutrition advice, impossible math, and double standards, and helps you make sense of the chaos—so you can eat for your brain, body, and future health.What to Listen For(03:54) – Why the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and their 400-page report was disregarded(05:45) – RFK Jr.'s quote: “We are ending the war on saturated fats” and what nutrition science reveals(07:23) – Healthy fats vs. essential fatty acids—and what's wrong with how the guidelines defined them(09:14) – Saturated fat ≠ essential fatty acid and why that distinction matters for brain and body health(11:05) – Math problem: 3 servings of full-fat dairy per day + prioritizing protein make it nearly impossible to stay under 10% sat fat limit(13:18) – Lactose malabsorption stats by ethnicity and why nutrition science must take health equity into account(15:04) – The MIND diet's take on fats(16:38) – The culture war: carnivore vs. vegan and how that influenced the new guidelines(19:42) – Joe Rogan's carnivore diet experiment and why its biggest advocate abandoned it later(26:40) – Dr. Oz, alcohol as a “social lubricant,” and what the guidelines ignoredThe saturated fat "controversy" reveals just how much industry, culture wars, and politics are shaping our national dietary guidelines.As you navigate your health journey, focus on evidence-based strategies like increasing fiber, prioritizing omega-3s, and limiting saturated fat to support brain and metabolic health.
Guest: Athena Kugblenu — comedian, author, commentator, and former Papercuts podcast regularAthena Kugblenu is a UK-based comedian and writer known for her sharp cultural commentary and her ability to use humor to explore power, media narratives, and social change. In this episode, Athena joins me for a serious AND funny conversation about how veganism is being covered in the news — and what gets lost when complex ideas are flattened into headlines.We talk about:Why declaring “veganism is over” is a lazy media story, Why the real barriers to eating more plants are poverty, time, kitchens, and access, Why the alternative to meat isn't fake meat — it's a completely different way of thinking about food.Along the way, Athena explains why comedy can work when arguments fail, how laughter creates shared reference points, and why humor can help people listen to ideas they might otherwise reject.In this episode, we cover:How veganism became a media narrative instead of a lived practiceWhy the press loves false binaries (“the future” vs. “over”)Veganism, capitalism, and the problem with fake meat“Ingredients households” and why cooking from scratch mattersPoverty and access as the biggest barriers to eating wellComedy as a tool for social changeWhy making people laugh helps them hear uncomfortable truthsWhy this conversation matters right nowAt a time when the news cycle thrives on outrage and oversimplification, this episode offers a steadier lens — one that rejects either/or thinking and makes space for nuance, compassion, and clarity.Notice where headlines try to “bait” you into a binary — about food, politics, identity or anything else.Listener challengeAsk yourself: What's missing from this story?

What happens when spirituality, animal ethics, veganism, and sentientism collide? In this wide-ranging conversation, writer and artist Mari Andrew explores faith, doubt, morality, and our relationship with non-human animals, from Christianity and myth to veganism, hierarchy, and what it really means to live compassionately in a complex world.In episode 243 of Sentientism, New York Times Bestselling author Mari Andrew reflects on her journey from childhood spirituality and existential OCD to animal advocacy, creativity, and her latest book How to Be a Living Thing. Together, we explore whether morality needs God, whether myth and science can coexist, why hierarchy is the hardest thing humans give up when they stop exploiting animals, and how joy, creativity, and embodiment can guide ethical change.We discuss veganism without dogma, the moral status of animals beyond “cute” species, disability ethics, liberation theology, and how small shifts in perspective can ripple into a better world. This is a conversation about curiosity, humility, and expanding compassion — for humans and non-human sentients alike.Mari Andrew is a writer, artist, speaker, teacher, and needle-felting enthusiast. Her first book, Am I There Yet? is a New York Times Bestselling collection of observations from her 20s. Her second book, My Inner Sky, focuses on her recovery from illness back to a flourishing life. Her third book, How to be a Living Thing, focuses on human nature, inspired by living through the COVID pandemic.In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what's real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?"Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube.00:00 Clips“I saw these beautiful herds of cattle grazing under the eucalyptus trees and it was so idyllic and it just seemed so wholesome and so simple. And then I would just see these massive rows of the containers where they put the baby cows. And I realized, oh, okay, this is evil.”“It's not a sacrifice. We've always learned how to eat differently. Nothing's being taken away from you. But I realized in actually writing this book that hierarchy is taken away. And I think that's the scariest thing for humans to reconcile with.”“My husband... He was the easiest convert ever. I took him to a farm sanctuary.”01:07 Welcome04:18 Mari's Intro09:32 What's Real?37:08 What Matters?48:52 Who Matters?1:11:01 A Better World?1:26:00 Follow Mari:- ByMariAndrew- @bymariandrew- Mari's SubstackAnd more... full show notes at Sentientism.info.Sentientism is “Evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.” More at Sentientism.info.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

5-time Juno Award winner and founding member of Blue Rodeo Bob Wiseman joins me for a wide-ranging, thoughtful conversation about music, aging, and what it actually looks like to live vegan for decades—long before it was mainstream or convenient. Bob and I talk about his early days with macrobiotics and touring as a long-term vegan, why grocery stores matter more than restaurants on the road, and how the West Coast quietly led the way on plant-based food culture. We dig into improvisation—not just as a musical practice, but as a way of understanding life itself—and why the idea that music isn't improvised is philosophically questionable at best. We also get into aging and mortality: how perspective shifts in your 40s, 50s, and 60s; what it means to start losing people you love; and why long-term health habits matter, even though nothing is guaranteed. Along the way, Bob shares stories about teaching beginners, learning accordion on a whim, raising a vegetarian kid in a mixed-diet household, and why trying to force change on other people rarely works. This episode is funny, reflective, a little wackadoodle, and full of big ideas about creativity, compassion, and playing the long game—on stage and in life.
What happens when you get sick—and you don't eat animals?In this uncharacteristically candid solo episode, Michele shares a personal rant sparked by a winter virus, a year full of medical appointments, and the familiar (and frustrating) question many plant-based and vegan people hear when something goes wrong:“Are you sure veganism is working for you?”Drawing from her own experience all while receiving consistently excellent bloodwork and zero nutritional concern from her medical team—Michele unpacks why these comments feel so patronizing, why they persist, and why they're often not actually about health at all.This episode is not about denying medical advice. It's about rejecting the myth that being vegan requires asceticism, self-neglect, or irrational dogma—and offering reassurance to anyone who has felt judged, scrutinized, or quietly undermined for their choices.In this episode, we explore:Why illness or injury often becomes a “conversation starter” about protein, supplements, or animal foodsThe difference between medical advice and cultural projectionWhy none of Michele's doctors or registered dietitians expressed concern about her nutritionWhat the phrase “as far as possible and practicable” really means in a vegan contextHow “concern” can sometimes function as a defense against self-examinationWhy being plant-based or vegan does not mean being extreme, irrational, or self-destructiveMichele also reflects on how deeply embedded cultural assumptions—what psychologist Melanie Joy calls “normal, natural, and necessary”—shape the way vegan choices are perceived, especially when health enters the conversation.A reminder worth repeating:Veganism is not a purity test.It is not martyrdom.And it is not incompatible with caring for your health.As Michele puts it: how you go vegan is how you do everything—with realism, compassion, and respect for the external realities of your life.Listener Reflection / InvitationEver had someone question your health or judgment because you're vegan or plant-based?Not a troll. Not a stranger. Someone close.Michele would love to hear from you.And if your version of “Vedge-ing Your Best” right now isn't perfect, ideal, or 100%—let that be okay.

Critics Declared Veganism Dead in 2025. Here's What Those Obituaries Are Missing. The massive scale and influence of the meat industry shouldn't be underestimated. "These eulogies for veganism tend to downplay this critical point: taking on the meat industry — a monster machine with unparalleled lobbying and marketing resources — was never a fair fight.

In this solo episode of Hope for the Animals, host Hope Bohanec breaks down major recent developments shaking the vegan and animal advocacy world. From the return of beef and dairy to the top of U.S. dietary guidelines, to government-backed support for the beef industry, to controversial new campaign encouraging people to donate money instead of going vegan — Hope examines how political power, industry influence, and shifting advocacy strategies impact animals, public health, and social change.Hope calls for renewed moral clarity, reminding listeners that behind every policy and marketing campaign are living, feeling beings. With honesty, urgency, and compassion, she explores why ethics must stay at the center of veganism, why individual choices still matter, and why speaking up is more important than ever — especially when it feels like we're moving backward. With heartfelt conviction, this episode challenges complacency, defends individual action, and encourages advocates to stay vocal, critical, and empowered in the long game for animal freedom.Support this podcast:Hope for the Animals PodcastCompassionate LivingSocial Media:FacebookInstagramYouTube
In today's episode of Truth Wanted, Objectively Dan and Deconstruction Deacon wrestle with the concept of free will before uncovering their own limitations of free will when it comes to deciding what species to consume over another. Salvatore in LA calls to continue a conversation had with the co-host, and defines free will as the ability for a moral agent to choose. What are your thoughts around the ability not to choose? The caller explains that free will is a mechanism used to explain the problem of evil. Deacon uses his Street Epistemology skills to ask the caller a series of thought provoking questions. What does the process of choice look like in the brain? What factors in life make a person more likely to choose one option over another? In what sense is "will" free? Our choices can't be truly free if we don't understand all the conscious and unconscious processes. How is it free will when we are coerced?Chase, calling from the USA, wants to talk about speciesism, discrimination against other beings for not being human. If this is a form of harm reduction, what happens when one species is starving and another is abundantly available for food? If this is maximizing well being, how does this play out when one species consumes another due to dietary and nutritional needs? What happens when it is in the best interest of a spider to continue to live in a house that is occupied by someone who is terrified by spiders? Why do we put some animals in the food category such as pigs, and not other animals like dogs? Thank you for joining us this week! Our back up host, Scott Dickie joins us to close out the show and remind us of the question of the week: What is the worst example of god's unconditional love?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-wanted--3195473/support.

In this lively episode of The Hen Report, hosts Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan navigate the evolving landscape of animal advocacy with their signature blend of wit and wisdom. From discussing the first recorded death from “meat tick” syndrome to analyzing a New York Times article on grass-fed beef’s environmental impact, they balance serious animal rights content with moments of levity.…
This episode explores one of the most charged and misunderstood topics in modern wellness: meat, ethics, and our relationship to life and death. I'm joined by Mansal Denton, founder of Real Provisions and creator of Sacred Hunting, for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges how we think about nourishment, stewardship, and responsibility in the natural world.We dig into the realities of animal suffering across different food systems, including wild ecosystems, regenerative farming, and industrial agriculture. Mansal shares why ethical hunting, when done with precision, reverence, and intention, can result in less suffering than many people realize—and why modern food supply chains often hide uncomfortable truths behind marketing labels.From there, the conversation moves into Mansal's personal spiritual journey, including how Orthodox Christianity reshaped his understanding of food as a sacred act. We explore how ritual, beauty, and embodied spirituality intersect with ancient wisdom traditions, and why honoring life requires confronting discomfort rather than avoiding it.We also unpack the nutritional and ecological case for wild game, particularly axis deer from Hawaii, including biodiversity, nutrient density, and population balance. Mansal explains how Real Provisions was born from a desire to feed his family—and future children—with food that aligns with both ethics and physiology.This episode isn't about telling you what to eat. It's about asking better questions: Where does our food come from? What does it cost—physically, spiritually, and ecologically? And how might choosing with more awareness bring us back into right relationship with the world that feeds us.

With her signature blend of skepticism and hope, Mariann unpacks Jessica Scott-Reid’s insightful Sentient Media article that reveals how Big Animal Ag’s obituaries for veganism conveniently ignore their own $300 billion industry’s massive lobbying…

After more than three years, Marlon Azurdia returns to the Terrain Theory Podcast...and he brings with him a depth of lived experience that can only come from someone fully committed to walking the path.A former CrossFit Games athlete who famously competed as a vegan, Marlon has spent the last decade challenging every nutritional and performance assumption placed in front of him. In this episode, he shares how that journey has evolved since we last spoke: from a year as a fruitarian experimenting with the mucusless diet, to a powerful nine-day fast, to the creation and continued refinement of his framework, Phitlosophy: a fusion of movement, mindfulness, and meditation grounded in alchemical principles.This conversation is part of our ongoing series exploring diet and the human terrain, and the question at its heart: Is there one species-appropriate way of eating for humans?Or are we meant to tune our bodies like instruments, adjusting the dial as we resonate with different foods, experiences, and levels of consciousness?Marlon reminds us that diet is more than macros, labels, or ideology. It is information. It is resonance. It is a pathway to inner standing. And when we learn to quiet the noise, break pattern, and return to zero, we may finally be able to hear what our terrain is asking for.If you've ever questioned your own nutritional path, struggled with polarization around diet, or wondered how to integrate body, mind, and spirit through what you consume, this episode offers a perspective both liberating and deeply grounding.Learn more about Marlon by following him on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/marlonazurdiaphitlosophy/Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

I keep thinking about what kind of identity would be useful for building a powerful animal advocacy movement. Here are 3 features of veganism that I often think about which make me doubt its usefulness.Too maximalist The official definition of veganism by the inventors of the term is the following: “Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose” This basically amounts to "avoid doing bad things as far as possible." The threshold sits right below what is impossible. I think that is way too ambitious. Doing the best possible thing at every circumstance shouldn't be the criterion for inclusion to a social movement. We don't expect human rights activists to avoid all forms of exploitation and cruelty as far as possible to qualify as human rights activists. Some activists respond "No, veganism is the bare minimum. The 'as far as possible and practicable' part means it's not about being perfect.". But when I ask for examples of gratuitously harmful actions that veganism doesn't forbid, at most I hear about instances of accidental uses [...] ---Outline:(00:22) Too maximalist(03:37) No space for believers to sin(04:29) Too behaviour-focused --- First published: November 26th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/BX8hPeye2QRcyftRk/3-doubts-about-veganism --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
Happy Wednesday EICarnivores* (consumers of meaty content, that is)This week we're asking: where are all the vegans? In this article for Dazed Laura Pitcher investigates the apparent decline in plant-based restaurants, food options, and people who openly identify as vegans, and asks whether this is related to a shift away from wokeness and empathy and towards conservatism and self-interest. Thank you so much for all of your amazing takes, we genuinely love hearing from all of you every week. If we can ask a final small(ish) favour, recommending us to a friend, leaving us a 5 star rating or writing a short review wherever you're reading this massively helps us to keep making the show.

Veganism is a lifestyle that excludes all animal products from one's diet and other aspects of life. That means no meat, eggs or dairy but it can also include things like honey, leather, wool, silk, or anything else that comes from animals. People choose this lifestyle for different reasons, some for ethical reasons, others for environmental reasons, and some do it for health reasons. Some studies have found that vegan diets can improve heart health and lower risk of some cancers, such as breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Is veganism better for your health than eating meat? Is it better for the environment? And for the animals? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions ! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: Is it bad to hold in your pee?

On this episode we explore Buddhism with Forrest Tierce, U.S. Project Director for Dharma Voices for Animals (DVA). DVA works to raise awareness on the connection between the ecological crisis caused by animal agriculture and Buddhist ethics—helping individuals and communities align their food choices with sustainability and compassion for all beings. Forrest has been a dedicated vegan for 18 years and draws from two decades of Buddhist practice across multiple traditions, with a deep commitment to the heart of the Buddha's teachings—especially the Five Precepts—as guiding principles for compassionate and ethical living.Forrest's story of transformation is inspiring. He grew up in Texas, his father worked in poultry industry, and in this youth, he hunted and fished animals. Forrest shares how he transformed to a life of nonviolence through Buddhism and vegan living. He talks about how practitioners of the teachings of the Buddha strive to reduce the amount of suffering in the world, but how that can too often leave out animals exploited for food. His new campaign with DVA is called the Sustainable Sanga Collative That supports Buddhist sangas and retreat centers in serving plant based foods. Forrest also tells us about when he was a park ranger and how he would incorporate vegan ethics into his presentations for park visitors.

Sadly, the restaurant will be closing…

As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving season, it's the perfect time to reflect not only on gratitude—but also on the impact of our food choices. In this special replay of one of our most thought-provoking episodes, we explore the ethical, environmental, and deeply personal dimensions of veganism with Dr. Matthew Halteman, philosopher and author of Hungry Beautiful Animals.Dr. Halteman challenges the rigid, rule-bound approach to veganism and instead invites us into a more compassionate framework—one centered on flourishing for both humans and non-human animals. Through philosophical insight, personal reflection, and practical wisdom, he helps us reimagine veganism not as deprivation, but as a joyful, ethical commitment to a better world.Whether you're vegan, veg-curious, or simply seeking a more mindful approach to the holidays, this episode offers a powerful lens through which to consider how our plates reflect our values.In this episode, we explore:· The intersection of animal ethics, food systems, and personal health· Why flourishing—not perfection—should guide our food choices· How veganism can be a joyful, evolving journey rather than a rigid identity· The myths of scarcity and sacrifice in plant-based living· How small, intentional shifts can ripple into global changeListen on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
Ep 234 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into viral loofahs, ethical eating debates, food allergies, and whether a billion-dollar clothing brand can save agriculture. From the cucumber family plant that keeps breaking the internet to Taylor Sheridan's fiery take on veganism with Joe Rogan, this episode tackles the misconceptions and trade-offs in our food system. Plus, discover why teal pumpkins matter for 1 in 13 kids, how Post Malone shut down Broadway for 30,000 fans, and whether Patagonia's venture into crackers and tinned fish can actually change farming—or if it's just another case of corporate savior complex. Spoiler: a farmer has thoughts, and we want to hear them. What We Discovered This Week
Veganism isn't about saying no; it's about saying yes. Philosophy professor and author Matthew C. Halteman joins me to make the joyful case for going vegan. It's an invitation to live in alignment with your values — and eat ridiculously good food while you're at it. We dig into why most people already want a more vegan world (even if they don't call themselves vegan yet), how to move from guilt and obligation to abundance and flourishing, cognitive dissonance (why people get defensive about veganism even when they agree with you), how to be an actually effective advocate without burning out or blowing up every family dinner, and much more. Matt also shares his own journey from meat lover to ethical vegan, how his dog Gus changed his worldview, and why he thinks veganism should feel like possibility, not pressure.
Is everything you've been told about nutrition wrong?In this explosive interview, Dr. Robert Kiltz and metabolic scientist Dr. Ben Bikman dismantle mainstream dietary advice—from the myth of “healthy carbs” to the dangers of fruit, cereal, and even modern medicine's blind spots. Discover why insulin resistance is the root of most chronic diseases, how ketogenic and carnivore diets outperform conventional approaches, and why academia may be printing “monopoly money” when it comes to health research.
In this episode of the Plant Based News Podcast, we're diving into three of the biggest conversations happening in the plant-based world right now. First, we explore the science of fasting and how one patient reversed lymphoma through a whole food plant-based diet and stayed cancer-free for over a decade. Then we tackle the heated debate over protein, with Stanford professor Dr. Christopher Gardner dismantling myths about amino acids and plant protein “quality.” Finally, we unpack the backlash against veganism: falling sales at Beyond Meat, processed food criticism, and whether the movement has lost its health halo.
Is veganism a healthy lifestyle or social cult with nutritional gaps? Decades-long vegan Jessica Wynn weighs in on this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1203On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:There's a myth that it's impossible to properly nourish the human body on a vegan diet — but nutritional planning is crucial for optimizing one's health on any diet. B12 supplementation is essential for vegans, and iron absorption improves when paired with vitamin C. Done wrong, any diet can lead to deficiencies."Junk food veganism" defeats the health purpose of this lifestyle. Oreos and processed fake meats are technically vegan but nutritionally empty. Ultra-processed foods aren't healthy regardless of origin.Factory farming ethics drive many vegans. Animals experience pain, fear, and joy, yet ag-gag laws hide slaughterhouse conditions. Environmental impact includes massive water usage and pollution.True veganism extends beyond diet. Hidden animal products lurk in cosmetics (fish scales in mascara), clothing (leather), and processed foods. Reading labels becomes investigative work.Focus on whole foods regardless of diet. Shop the grocery store perimeter for fresh produce, minimize processed foods, and listen to your body's needs for optimal health and balance.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
