Is there a multi-million dollar misinformation campaign to stop the plant-based food movement in its tracks? The Freedom Food Alliance, led by renowned digital media expert Robbie Lockie, has just released a detailed report which makes that case. Harvesting Denial, Distractions and Deception: Understanding Animal Agriculture's Disinformation Strategies and Exploring Solutions argues that the meat industry - though companies, lobbyists, trade groups, checkoff programs, influencers and so-called experts and industry-backed academics - is waging a full-scale misinformation and disinformation campaign against vegan products and the plant-based movement in general. This is happening at our own peril, as the climate crisis worsens and advertiser-based mainstream media basically ignores one of the biggest causes: animal agriculture. The media runs story after story attacking plant-based meat alternatives as processed while failing to mention that processed meat is officially cancer-causing, according to the World Health Organization. When the World Bank recently called for governments to shift away from subsidizing meat and dairy and embrace alternatives proteins, that urgent recommendation was ignored by mainstream media. So, what can we do to save ourselves, animals and the planet? Let's find out from Robbie Lockie, one of the founders of Plant Based News whose new campaign is getting the real story out to the world before it's too late.

Welcome back to another episode of the Plant Based News podcast! This week I am delighted to welcome to the podcast animal advocate and founder of Barn Sanctuary Dan McKernan. Dan's journey of animal advocacy goes back a few years to when he decided to leave a successful, high-paying job in the tech industry in Austin, Texas. He decided to return to his home in rural Michigan and was intent on transforming his family's 140-year-old farm into a safe haven for farmed animals. This is how in 2016 Barn Sanctuary was formed. Barn Sanctuary in Chelsea, Michigan is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating abused and neglected farmed animals in need. It is currently home to over 100 rescued farmed animals, which reside within the 70-acre property. Barn Sanctuary exemplifies Dan's mission to change the way the world views farmed animals and help lead society towards a more compassionate and plant-based lifestyle.

Today we sit down the with creative, compassionate, and talented Robbie Lockie to discuss the parallels of queerness and veganism, explore why language is so important, and contemplate how gender is more of a galaxy, rather than a spectrum. We take a walk back in time to learn about what Robbie's childhood was like growing up in Zimbabwe with their beloved rat named Mushroom, discuss the moment that Robbie got fired from their job for practicing individuality, and hear why Plant Based News was such a needed source of information in today's world. Robbie also shares with us their profound experience that they had while using psilocybin, and what that intense and beautiful moment taught them about climate grief. Robbie offers up a remedy and way for dealing with grief that is important of us all: finding, building, and passing on courage whenever possible. “Grief and sorrow are natural parts of life. Whether the beauty and majesty of this world lasts another day or another six centuries, the fact that it has existed at all is a gift. No matter how long we have, no matter long the animals have, no matter how long the biosphere has, every single day counts.” Calen's vegan & queer-friendly guide to England and Wales: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/unrulystore/Unruly-2-Week-Road-Trip-Itinerary-for-England-&-Wales-eBook-p496497076 Explore the new "veganism" section on the Unruly blog: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/tag/veganism/ Plant Based News: https://plantbasednews.org Robbie's AI art page on IG: @justunrealpeople / https://www.instagram.com/justunrealpeople/ Follow Robbie on IG: @robbie_lockie / https://www.instagram.com/robbie_lockie/ Buy the Unruly Travel Guide: wanderwoman.online/index.php/unrulystore/ Sign up for email alerts: landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/x2y0l9

This week, I caught up with the inspiring activist, Robbie Lockie (pronouns: they/them). It is widely accepted that mainstream media provides insufficient coverage when it comes to topics that don't suit a certain agenda or ‘normalised behaviour'. These topics include gender inequality, a bias towards hetrosexual and cisgender lifestyles being depicted as normal and the negative impact animal consumption has on our health and the environment. Robbie is a natural born activist and has decided to do something about it. Together with Klaus Mitchell, they co-founded and co-directed Plant-Based News www.plantbasednews.org, which is the world's latest online media outlet empowering its readers with information covering all things to do with veganism and plant-based living. Robbie has also produced viral videos for other media outlets, including the charity, Viva! [https://viva.org.uk/] Such as ‘The Dairy Industry's … Trash,' and ‘Swine.' But it doesn't stop there. Robbie is the founder of the annual https://www.worldplantmilkday.com initiative that challenges people to go dairy-free for seven days, and see how they feel afterwards.   Originally from Zimbabwe, Africa, Robbie relocated to London, England in 1999. As an attempt to overcome their health problems back in 2013, Robbie decided to try a plant-based diet to see if it would make any difference. This led to a permanent change, allowing Robbie to live a more vibrant life. At the time, Robbie was a digital designer, but after having become more increasingly aware of the animal rights issues, they felt compelled to do something about it, thus leading to the creation of www.plantbasednews.org, and what Robbie passionately does for a career to this day.    2:14 - Kate shares her angst about the current state of affairs in the world; 3:24 - Kate asks Robbie about veganism in terms of business ethics, morality and spirituality; 4:13 - Understanding the motivations of businesses, and what to look for; 6:14 - The financial credibility and transparency of Robbie's platform, plantbasednews.org; 7:50 - The hypocrisy of businesses who use Pride Month as a marketing opportunity; 10:25 - Kate asks Robbie about his philosophy on gender; 17:34 - The discriminatory practices towards homosexuality across the world; 19:44 - The need for privileged people to educate themselves to become allies and help; 20:20 - Standing together to overcome prejudice and hate; 21:10 - The language that we use, and the associations that we make, can have a harmful impact on vulnerable groups; 23:35 - Why we should hear the truth, even if it is dark, and at times, distressing; 24:42 - Kate asks Robbie “what drives you internally, and how do you keep going?”; Where to find Robbie:   https://twitter.com/robbielockie https://www.instagram.com/robbie_lockie/ https://www.facebook.com/robbielionheart https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbielockie/   Links:   https://www.worldplantmilkday.com  https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/ https://www.change.org/ https://plantbasednews.org/

Ed has delivered speeches at numerous schools, universities, and major companies including Google, he has engaging audiences all around the world.

Two years later he launched Unity Diner - a non-profit vegan restaurant in London, all the proceeds from which go directly to helping animals. The culmination of that work is his longtime passion project Surge Sanctuary, which houses rescued animals on a vast 18 acre property. Most recently, Ed has published his first book This is Vegan Propaganda (And Other Lies the Meat Industry Tells You), which presents an indisputable case for veganism. This is a book that is as much for non-vegans as it is for those who already lead a vegan lifestyle, empowering them to talk more confidently about veganism with the non-vegans in their life. The book explores the effects of animal farming across the globe and how they are rooted in a number of factors that have created our current system.

This week's supporter is a Swiss vegan meat brand Planted: Please use their webshop discount code PBN20 (valid for 1st time use for customers, currently end-date set for end of January 22). https://www.eatPlanted.com With us today is leading plant-based physician Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez, CEO Human Restoration Program and Founder of VeggiePower Summit – the largest medical seminar in Latin America that educates people about the science of plant-based nutrition. Originally from Mexico, Mauricio's journey began first with studying nutrition before deciding to continue onto a medical degree in the US, where he is currently a resident at the Metropolitan hospital in New York. During his studies, he came to realize how little attention is paid to nutrition as part of a more holistic view on health and wellness, which pushed him to switch to a plant-based diet himself and fill the gap he identified between nutrition and medicine. Through his platform Mauricio teaches others how to adopt a healthy plant-based diet and change their lives for the better. As the founder of the first ever plant-based medical immersion program in Latin America, he educates other people including physicians and nutritionists on the health benefits of having a vegan diet and the science behind it. His YouTube channel also reaches thousands of people, inspiring people in Latin American countries and all around the world to make a positive change in their lives. The simple idea of food as medicine is the guiding principle of what Mauricio teaches, making the plant-based lifestyle a question of personal health and wellbeing.

In the debate around protein, why do we need to skip the middle man? Why is our media diet so important? And What is the best way to kill fear? Big questions that we are deep diving into with Robbie Lockie, co-founder of Plant Based News (PBN), the largest vegan news platform from around the world, reaching over 70 million people each a month. In this episode, we talk about how he created PBN so quickly, navigating through the media noise to find what is true and real, improving the PR around animal free foods, and courage as the opposing force to fear.

Hi Plant Friends and welcome to another episode of the PBN Podcast. This week we meet Professor Rock Rockström. Professor Johan Rockström is one of the most influential Earth scientists who is amongst the most cited researchers in the world. As director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, he advises governments, corporations and activists, about the latest research on the climate and biodiversity and strives for better science communication. A collaboration with natural historian and broadcaster David Attenborough saw him create a 2021 Netflix series, Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet. He also participated in President Joe Biden's climate summit. In 2020, Professor Rockström co-edited Standing Up for a Sustainable World, a book that gathers the voices of leading academics as well as climate change and environmental activists, entrepreneurs and investors.

Hi Plant friends and welcome to another episode of the PBN Podcast. This week we meet Joanne Molinaro, also known as The Korean Vegan. Joanne is a Korean American, born in Chicago, Illinois. When you consider her tasks and accomplishments, you wonder how Joanne manages to incorporate all of her work and play into a 24-hour period. She works at a large law firm, runs 30-40 miles a week, and creates a blog that has over 100,000 followers. On top of that, she's managed to write her first book, which she hopes will be released by Autumn 2021. Joanne also writes poetry and prose, with her writing appearing in Side B Magazine, Cha: An Asian Literary Journal, and The Mashup Americans. Joanne started her blog, The Korean Vegan, in 2016, after switching to a plant-based diet. In July 2020, she started her TikTok platform, mostly as a coping mechanism for the isolation caused by the global pandemic.  Each of the simple recipe videos she shared included an accompanying family story, all less than 60 seconds. She's shared stories of her mother's immigration to America, her grandmother's escape from North Korea, interracial dating, and more. In addition to her other work, Joanne has given cooking demonstrations, participated in fundraising events for North Korean refugees, and was invited to be the keynote guest speaker for the Korean Women's International Network 2018 Conference.

Hi Plant Friends, and welcome to a very special episode. Today's show is hosted by PBN Founder Klaus Mitchell. Husband and wife Ali and Lucy Tabrizi are the filmmakers behind the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy - which uncovers the horrors of modern industrial fishing. The film features human impacts on marine life such as plastic marine debris, ghost nets and overfishing around the world. The documentary was one of the top ten most-watched films on Netflix in several countries on the week of its release and generated significant traction on social media. According to the United Nations FAO around 87 percent of the world's fish populations are ‘fully fished' or ‘overfished'. Nearly a third of edible fish populations have declined by 90 percent. That same study says that if biodiversity continues to decline, the marine environment will not be able to sustain our way of life. Indeed it may not be able to sustain our lives at all. The global fishing industry has more than doubled in capacity since 1950. It's now so huge it can't help but destroy our oceans. What Ali and Lucy discovered whilst making Seaspiracy was truly shocking: Fishing has wiped out 90 percent of the world's large fish. More than 300,000 dolphins, whales and porpoises are killed by fishing operations every year. More than $35 billion is paid in subsidies to industrial fishing every year. Fishing kills 30,000 sharks EVERY HOUR. Ali and Lucy sat down with Klaus Mitchell from Plant Based News to talk about some of the questions they've faced, some of the criticisms, and to go through some behind-the-scenes snippets from the Seaspiracy documentary. Since its release in March 2021, Seaspiracy has garnered many reviews worldwide. It soon climbed up the ranks on Netflix in over 30 countries. During our exclusive interview for Plant Based News, Klaus Mitchell asked Ali and Lucy what proportion of the feedback they thought - in terms of the reception of the documentary - has been positive and negative.

Hi Plant Friends and welcome to another episode of the PBN Podcast. I am your host Robbie Lockie. On this weeks episode we meet the bubbly and colourful vegan Jasmin Singer. At the age of twenty-four, Jasmin Singer turned to veganism after watching a film about factory farming. Learning about the horrors of the dairy and egg production led her to incorporate animal rights into her LGBTQ+ and feminist activism. Jasmin then began volunteering at PETA's headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, and began steering her career toward animal rights activism. As well as being a leading expert, Jasmin Singer is now a hugely visible presence within the vegan community. She is a coveted speaker on topics including radical body positivity, personal narrative as a means of social justice, and how to change the world for animals. She is also the author of The VegNews Guide to Being a Fabulous Vegan and Always Too Much and Never Enough: A Memoir. Along with her co-host Mariann Sullivan, Jasmin and her team continue to “change the world for animals” on the long-running, award-winning podcast, Our Hen House. I was fortunate to feature on one of their episodes, I will link it down in the show notes. Jasmin's incredible contribution to animal rights does not stop there. She is the former Senior Editor for VegNews Magazine and the longtime love columnist and celebrity interviewer. In 2020, Jasmin had the enviable job of interviewing actor Joaquin Phoenix, who had used his prominence to not only effectively veganize the menu at the Academy Awards, but also treat his acceptance speech as a way of sharing his concerns for animal rights issues. You may well have seen Jasmin appearing in various documentaries such as The Ghosts In Our Machine and Vegucated. She has also contributed to many anthologies such as Running Eating Thinking; Defiant Daughters; Voices for Animal Liberation; Queer & Trans Voices; and Circles of Compassion. As an actor, Jasmin starred in the film The Bra Mitzvah and has appeared in television commercials. She holds a BFA in Acting from Pace University, and is a certified holistic health counsellor. Jasmin is a long-time activist across many realms, including animal activism, LGBTQ activism, and antiracism.

Much like her musician son Finneas and pop star daughter Billie Eilish, Maggie is a passionate vegan, and has inspired many to go plant-based. Maggie grew up in Colorado performing music, and studied theatre and dance at the University of Utah, before moving to New York City where she performed on Broadway. She made her TV debut in 1981 in the soap opera Another World and in 1989, her film debut in An Innocent Man. She has also appeared in many television series' such as Bones, The X-Files and Six Feet Under. As a vegan powerhouse, Maggie has continued to both entertain her admirers as well as encourage and enlighten new followers. In 2020 Maggie featured on a new plant-based cooking show on Amazon Prime Video called New Day New Chef. This hugely successful programme centred around her organisation Support + Feed, an initiative set up to help those ‘greatly impacted' by the coronavirus crisis. Support + Feed has supported LA's plant-based restaurants by encouraging people to gift order food for those in need. As further proof of Maggie's huge contribution, the organisation was crowned ‘2020 Company of the Year' by animal advocacy group PETA.
