In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we're pleased to welcome Brian Kateman. Brian is the President and co-founder of The Reducetarian Foundation. He coined the term reducetarian, which we've often used on this show.  A reducetarian is a person who is deliberately reducing their consumption of meat but not necessarily going all-in on a plant-based diet.  We recently watched a documentary he produced based on his book Meat Me Halfway which explores reducetarianism through the lens of his own personal decision to eat less meat. Meat Me Halfway (2021) is a groundbreaking investigative journey that seeks to create some common ground at the dinner table. You can check out the full show notes here.  

While vegan activists have been struggling to find the most effective way to get people to stop eating animals, today's guest employs a unique approach to tackle this dire problem. In an effort to empower reluctant people to change their dietary patterns, Brian Kateman coined the term “Reducetarian”—which means a person who is deliberately reducing his or her consumption of meat—and he co-founded the Reducetarian Foundation, a non-profit spreading this message. Brian is also the author of Meat Me Halfway, which attempts to create common ground at the dinner table, and he is also the co-director and producer of the documentary of the same name.  Tune in to hear about how Brian is addressing the ethical and environmental problems of animal consumption and production and the practical steps we can take to do something about it right now!   “At the end of the day, I want to reduce societal consumption of animal products to the greatest extent possible, and I want to use the most effective tools to make them happen, to make that happen. And certainly, I think there's a place for a sort of moderate, inviting kind of message rather than telling people to cut out animal products entirely.” – Brian Kateman   What we discuss in this episode: Why Brian believes that convincing people to reduce their consumption of meat, instead of trying to convince them to completely stop, is the most effective way to implement change. Why he considers the “Reducetarian” tactic to be just one of many. How and why Brian changed his diet. The foods Brian ate when he first transitioned to veganism. The foods he ate growing up. Things Brian witnessed while shooting his documentary. Brian's thoughts on cell-based meats. The reasons animal agriculture is so inefficient.   Resources: Brian's book: Meat Me Halfway: How Changing the Way We Eat Can Improve Our Lives and Save Our Planet The documentary: Meat Me Halfway Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meatmehalfwaymovie/?hl=en Twitter: Meat Me Halfway (@Meat_Me_Halfway) / Twitter Reducetarian Foundation: REDUCETARIAN FOUNDATION Reducetarian Summit: 2023 | Reducetarian Summit Reducetarian Fellowship Program: Reducetarian Fellowship Instagram: Reducetarian Foundation (@reducetarian) | Instagram Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reducetarian/ Twitter: Reducetarian   Send us a voice message.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing the Reducetarian Fellowship!, published by Sofia Fogel on February 1, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Applications are now open for the Reducetarian Foundation's newest initiative, the Reducetarian Fellowship. This program is supported in part by a grant from Open Philanthropy. Overview The Reducetarian Fellowship is designed to foster a more diverse, sustainable, and impactful movement by empowering bright, passionate, and ambitious young advocates and innovators to transform our food system. This exciting new program is for exceptional New York City-area undergraduate students who are eager to create a more sustainable, healthy, and compassionate world. The one-year experience is designed to equip and encourage students to pursue a career focused on combating industrial animal agriculture. Each fellow receives a $7,500 stipend to support their participation in the program, and one-on-one mentorship from the Fellowship Director (me!) throughout the year. For the inaugural cohort we will be selecting approximately 15 fellows. Program components The first component of the Fellowship runs from September to May. The curriculum offers students the opportunity to explore foundational ideas and cutting-edge strategies through seminars with scholars, activists, and other leaders in the field. It also allows students to develop their professional skills and network through workshops with specialized experts. The second component of the Fellowship runs from June to August, when Fellows will put their learning to direct use in an 8-10 week summer residency at a partner organization. The residency is an immersive learning experience that will give Fellows first-hand experience with some of the most impactful work in food system reform and innovation. Partner organizations The fellowship partners are a diverse set of high-impact public- and private-sector entities connected to the Reducetarian Foundation's mission of reducing societal consumption of animal products. They include nonprofits with missions related to environmental issues, animal welfare, or human health; companies focused on plant-based, fermented, and cell-cultured alternatives to conventional animal products; philanthropic institutions; and venture capital firms. Each fellow will do their summer residency at the partner organization that best fits their skills and interests, so the participating organizations will vary each summer in accordance with the profiles of that year's cohort. Eligibility requirements and selection criteria All applicants must be: A U.S. citizen or permanent resident Enrolled at a university in the New York City area (this includes some universities in New Jersey) Able to physically attend twice-monthly events in Manhattan A sophomore, junior, or senior during the Fellowship year (so students must apply during the spring semester of their freshman, sophomore, or junior year) We are looking for students who are self-motivated and eager to make an impact, and who believe they would benefit from this program. Qualities sought include (but are not limited to): Robust interest in creating a more sustainable, healthy, and humane food system Interest in the Reducetarian philosophy and/or effective altruism Ability to receive constructive feedback and implement changes in response Growth mindset (the belief that new skills can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and high-quality input from others) Ambition, openness, humility, and integrity Apply now You can apply to be a part of the Reducetarian Foundation's inaugural cohort here! Questions We have an FAQ page on our website. If your question is not listed there, please email me at sofia@reducetarian.org. If you are a student who is unsure whether this opportunity would be the right fit for you, I strongly encourage...

Finally, I can say I watched a genuinely balanced documentary about food and the environment. I've seen all the classics: “What the Health”, “Forks over Knives”, “Gamechangers”, “Food Inc” “Seaspiracy” and others like “Kiss the Ground”. I'm constantly asked about it on social media and friends. Did you see INSERT DOCUMENTARY NAME. What did you think? And invariably I always have to point out the flaws, the biases, the shock tactics, the spin.But this documentary is refreshingly different. “Meat Me Halfway” produced by my guest today, Brian Kateman, is a documentary about finding common ground at the dinner table. It poses more questions than answers and it allows you to make your own mind up. It doesn't have a clear ideology woven through the narrative and it's more exploratory than it is explanatory or defensive.When I was watching the movie, I made notes to pick up on with Brian when I knew I was going to speak to the documentary host, but a little later in the movie they discussed the nuance of that topic. I didn't have any follow up questions to the answers they posed at the end of the movie, because there weren't any answers. This is complicated. And the conversation we're having within our own avocado toast eating echo chambers, centres around idealism rather than practicality. And this is why I thought this documentary was particularly great.Brian is also co-founder and president of the Reducetarian Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing consumption of meat, eggs, and dairy to create a healthy, sustainable, and compassionate world. The ‘Meat Me Halfway book' is out next year and ‘The Reducetarian Cookbook' is available in all good bookstores.Listen the end where I reveal my favourite meat alternatives and hacks to reduce your meat consumption whilst maintaining a nutrient dense diet.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K152: The Rise of the Climatarian   Torben Lonne, a 34-year-old scuba diver in Copenhagen, never eats without considering the carbon footprint and the emission level of the food he's about to consume. For that reason, his diet revolves around locally sourced fruits and vegetables, and pizza. He avoids avocados, however. 34歲的朗恩是丹麥首都哥本哈根的水肺潛水員，他在吃下任何食物之前，一定會先考量這食物的碳足跡和碳排放量問題。因此，他的飲食不脫在地蔬果和披薩。不過，他不吃酪梨。 “Avocados that are made for export are incredibly carbon-intensive, especially when you consider farm to plate is actually several thousand kilometers away,” Lonne said. “Aside from the logistics, avocado farms have depleted many rivers and lakes, particularly in South America, in order to sustain our voracious appetite for guacamole.” 朗恩說：「供外銷的酪梨碳密集度極高，尤其是考慮到從農場到餐桌實際上有數千公里遠。種酪梨除了運輸路途遙遠之外，還耗掉許多河川湖泊的水，特別在南美洲，為的是滿足我們對酪梨醬的貪欲。」 Lonne calls himself a climatarian, a term that first appeared in The New York Times in 2015, entered the Cambridge Dictionary the following year and is now becoming more common. Apps such as Kuri, introduced last year, offer climatarian recipes. Fast-casual restaurants including Just Salad and Chipotle are marking items that fit in the diet, like paleo before it, on their menus. 朗恩自稱氣候素食者，這個詞2015年首先出現在紐約時報上，隔年收入劍橋字典，如今變得更常見。一些應用程式提供氣候素食食譜，去年上架的Kuri就是一例。Just Salad、奇波雷等快速慢食餐廳一如先前推出「原始人飲食」般，現在也在菜單上把合乎氣候素食要求的菜式加以標註。 There are also climatarian-friendly brands, including Moonshot, a carbon-neutral company in San Francisco that makes a line of crackers from regeneratively grown ingredients with stone-milled, heirloom wheat and 100% recycled packaging. 有些品牌標榜對氣候素食者友善，包括美國加州舊金山碳中和公司Moonshot，製造一系列薄脆餅乾，採用再生農業生產的原料、石磨祖傳種小麥和百分之百再生包裝。 When Just Salad added a climatarian menu option in September, more than 10% of their salad sales came from that menu, said Sandra Noonan, the chain's chief sustainability officer, a position created in 2019. Just Salad永續長珊卓．努南說，去年9月推出氣候素食菜單後，超過10%的沙拉營業額來自這種飲食。永續長是2019年新設的職位。 Those who follow the diet stick with fruits and vegetables that are in season relative to their region; they avoid meat that comes from factory farms; and they seek local ingredients because those have lower carbon footprints, said Brian Kateman, the president and co-founder of Reducetarian Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Providence, Rhode Island, that encourages eating fewer animal products. Many reducetarians are also climatarians: cutting back because they're concerned about the climate crisis. 美國羅德島州首府普羅維登斯的「減少肉食基金會」是提倡少吃畜產品的非營利組織，共同創辦人兼會長凱特曼說，氣候素食者堅持食用當地當季的蔬果，不吃工廠化農場生產的肉類，注重在地食材，因為碳足跡較少。許多少肉主義者也是氣候素食者，因為他們也擔心氣候危機。 Kateman, 31, became one after reading a 2007 book, “The Ethics of What We Eat,” by Peter Singer and Jim Mason. He was horrified to learn that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture increased by 12% from 1990 to 2019, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. 31歲的凱特曼讀了2007年出版、辛格和梅森合著的「飲食倫理」一書後，成了氣候素食者。他很震驚地從美國國家環境保護署的資料得知，從1990年到2019年，農業的溫室氣體排放量增加了12%。 While many climatarians aren't vegetarians, since they believe that chicken or lamb are much better choices than beef, some eschew meat altogether since vegetables overall have a lower carbon footprint. 許多氣候素食者並不吃素，他們認為吃雞肉和羊肉已經遠比吃牛肉好了，不過也有一些氣候素食者完全棄絕肉類，因為蔬菜類整體而言碳足跡較少。Source article: https://udn.com/news/story/6904/5512200   更多Podcast單元: 每日英語跟讀Podcast，就在http://www.15mins.today/daily-shadowing 精選詞彙 VOCAB Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/vocab 語音直播 15mins Live Podcast, 就在https://www.15mins.today/15mins-live-podcast 文法練習 In-TENSE Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/in-tense 用email訂閱就可以收到通勤學英語節目更新通知。

Why can it be so uncomfortable to explain and discuss why we are vegetarian or vegan? Often the reasons are motivated by positivity and compassion for ourselves and the world around us, whether its for improving health, reducing animal suffering, or easing environmental impact. Few people would argue against these things -- so what is the underlying cause of the awkward tension or defensiveness that often arises when discussing vegetarianism with those who do not identify as such? We explore Melanie Joy’s theories on carnism and Barbara Ehrenreich’s arguments about our hyped up wellness culture as we work through this question.

This week on Eat Your Words, Cathy is joined in studio by Brian Kateman, President of the Reducetarian Foundation. A vegetarian tired of feeling guilty for eating the occasional turkey breast on Thanksgiving, Brian came up with the idea of reducing but not eliminating meat from his diet. He was inspired by his research on the impacts of animal farming on the environment and human health and became a reducetarian and author on the topic. His book The Reducetarian Solution will be available in stores on April 18.

Bart chats with Brian Kateman of the Reducetarian Foundation about his mission to help reduce our meat consumption by encouraging people to simply eat less meat. This exciting new movement is composed of individuals who have committed to eating less red meat, poultry, and seafood, whatever the degree or the motivation. Not everyone is willing to completely eliminate animal products from their diet, so it's an appealing idea and Bart finds much common cause during this conversation.Included in this episode:* Effective Altruism and how to maximize the efficiency of your philanthropic work* How Brian discovered explanations outside of religious ones, and became secular* Some of the reasons people engage in the ‘reducetarian’ idea, and what the movement is about* The similarities between reducetarianism with respect to eating meat and humanism with respect to religious belief* Why the reducetarian movement is based on what works, rather than more abstract ideas* How people can get involvedVisit Reducetarian.org for a great intro to the movement.
