Stuart is a Kentucky native who didn't set out to be an activist. Growing up, he embraced the standard American diet until 1985, when he made a transformative shift to a 100% plant-based lifestyle. For years, Stuart quietly pursued his path while respecting others' choices. However, as he delved deeper into the statistical correlations between our dietary habits and global crises, he felt compelled to awaken people to the urgent need for change—for our health and the planet's well-being. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Matrix movie, Stuart invites everyone to choose the "red pill" and uncover the truth about our world. Since the release of his groundbreaking book in October 2022, he has been a sought-after guest on numerous podcasts and a featured speaker at prominent conferences and festivals.

Antes de empezar con el tema de hoy os tenemos que recordar que nos veréis este 8 y 9 de Junio en el VegFest 2024 en Barcelona ¡No os lo perdáis! Youth Climate Save (YCS) es el primer movimiento internacional juvenil ecologista, que habla sobre el vínculo entre la agricultura animal y los límites planetarios. Fue fundado por Génesis Butler (además de ser la niña más joven en hacer una charla Ted, fue la que incitó al papa a hacerse vegano durante la cuaresma en la fundación de la Million Dollar Vegan, la actual “GenV”) durante el confinamiento de la pandemia, que todo el activismo funcionaba por redes sociales, y se hicieron grupos por todo el mundo. YCS España ahora mismo cuenta con grupos activos en Madrid, Barcelona y Valencia. Introducción ¿Qué son los límites planetarios? Vivimos en un planeta de recursos finitos, sujetos a límites, si se rebasan estos límites la estabilidad del planeta peligra. Uno de los límites planetarios de los que más se habla en el ecologismo es la crisis climática, no obstante, existen más límites planetarios, y los que están aún peor, que son la pérdida de la biodiversidad y el ciclo del nitrógeno, están DIRECTAMENTE relacionados con la ganadería. Podría decirse que la explotación animal es con diferencia la primera causa de la destrucción del medio ambiente. Fuego ¿Cuál es la historia de la explotación animal y origen del lobby ganadero? La historia de la domesticación de los animales se remonta a hace más de 10000 años. Desde entonces hemos ido adaptando todo el entorno terrestre a nosotros los humanos. Hay una expresión que dice “3 santas y 1 honrado tienen al pueblo agobiado” Las 3 santas se refieren a la Santa inquisición, la santa cruzada y la santa hermandad, el honrado era el Honrado Concejo de la Mesta, esto es el origen del lobby ganadero, comerciaban con la lana y la carne, ya entraban directamente en conflicto con los agricultores y los defensores de la tierra de la época, quemando cultivos y bosques para la siembra del pastizal. La historia de la colonización está estrechamente relacionada con la explotación animal desde el inicio de los tiempos. Las películas de indios y vaqueros lo reflejan muy bien, los caballos eran usados como arma de guerra, y fueron los colonos quienes llevaron la explotación animal a América. Un vaquero era como se llamaba a los ganaderos de la época. Las poblaciones nativas ya vivían adaptados al medio como una especie más en armonía con el ecosistema. No solo eran sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras, sino además ponían en práctica la milpa. La milpa es un tipo de cultivo agricola ancestral nativoamericano basado en el cultivo de frijol, maíz y calabaza. Los colonos consideraban estos cultivos como inferiores y fueron reemplazando forzosamente por la agricultura basada en la explotación animal como la conocemos hoy en día ¿La colonización sigue relacionada con la explotación animal hoy en día? Sí. A día de hoy el agronegocio sigue arrebatando tierras a las poblaciones nativas de américa del sur, como en Brasil y Bolivia, y se está produciendo un genocidio indígena. Los paramilitares del agronegocio directamente incendian los bosques y sus aldeas y los matan a tiros, para seguir ampliando los cultivos de pastoreo, soja y maíz, rociados con pesticidas, herbicidas y fertilizantes químicos, que envenenan los ríos de donde beben el agua. Existe un movimiento llamado veganismo popular muy extendido en el sur global que incluye otros sectores sociales y dentro se habla mucho de veganismo como elemento descolonizador. Es importante hablar de la historia del lobby ganadero para entender la existencia de los mitos que defienden la ganadería extensiva y el consumo de animales. ¿Cuales son esos mitos? Mito 1 El ser humano está en la cúspide de la pirámide alimentaria? Según la filósofa ecofeminista Marta Tafalla. La pirámide trófica se compone de mucha vegetación en la base (más individuos), animales herbívoros, omnívoros y en la cima los animales carnívoros (menos individuos) Somos 8000 millones de personas, por tanto nuestra alimentación debería basarse principalmente en vegetales, como el resto de los primates. Al ser tantos, hemos acabado con todo animal mamífero silvestre, quedando apenas el 4% del total de mamíferos en el planeta. El 36% somos humanos y todo el resto (64%) son animales de granja. MITO 2: La ganadería extensiva es útil en la prevención de los incendios forestales Completamente falso, además de que la mayoría de los incendios se propagan por las copas, sobre todo de los pinos que son una especie pirófita, el pasto seco del suelo es de hecho puro combustible. Por otro lado, la mayoría de los incendios son provocados por la ganadería, la quema de montes ha sido una práctica muy común entre los pastores de toda la vida. Tierra ¿Cómo afecta el sistema alimentario actual al uso de la tierra? El 83% de la tierra cultivable se usa para producir alimentos de origen animal, pese a que solo produce un ⅖ de las proteínas y ⅕ de las calorías consumidas. La explotación animal es por tanto la primera causa de hambre en el mundo, ya que al mismo tiempo que millones de personas mueren de hambre cada año, se engordan a aproximadamente 7000 millones de animales terrestres e incontables marinos para la alimentación de especialmente las personas del norte global. También es la principal causa de extinción de especies, deforestación, enfermedades transmisibles y no transmisibles, y la resistencia a los antibióticos. Por esto, el sistema de producción ganadera es totalmente ineficiente. ¿Que pasaría entonces si todos nos hicieramos veganos? Una dieta vegana global reduciría la cantidad de terreno necesario para producir alimentos, en 3'1 millones de hectáreas menos, esto equivale a la superficie de todo el continente Africano. De hacer este cambio global del sistema alimentario actual,podríamos alimentar a toda la población mundial y devolver el 75% de toda esa tierra a la naturaleza, y la fauna y flora salvajes. ¿Y que hay de la deforestación causada por la soja? 6% de la soja es para consumo humano 75% se usa para producir piensos para el ganado 19% restante para otros usos, especialmente combustible. La deforestación de la selva causada por la soja es precisamente por la producción de carne y lácteos, pero la mayor parte de la deforestación del Amazonas, se debe fundamentalmente a la ganadería de pastoreo. Aire ¿La ganadería contamina el aire? Rotundamente sí, de hecho, el famoso informe de la FAO llamado “la larga sombra del ganado” ya advierte que la ganadería emite mas CO2 más que todo el sector del transporte combinado. ¿Que otras emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero produce la ganadería? La ganadería produce otros gases de efecto invernadero mucho más potentes para el calentamiento global que el CO2, por un lado, el metano, es 25 veces mas potente, y por otro el óxido nitroso, que es 296 veces más potente que el CO2. ¿Porqué entonces se presta demasiada atención a los combustibles fósiles y no se atiende tanto a la ganadería? Porque los lobbies de presión de la agroindustria sobornan a los gobernantes y legisladores para aminorar o eliminar la legislación que regula la contaminación de este sector. La realidad es que, si eliminamos estas emisiones de metano puede ralentizar el calentamiento global entre 15 y 25 años, convirtiéndose en el medio más eficaz para frenar el calentamiento global en estos últimos años críticos. (Shindell et al 2012 - Science) ¿Solo contamina la carne roja o todo tipo de carne? Todo tipo de carne, por ejemplo, la carne de pollo genera 40 más impacto climático por caloría de proteína que los garbanzos y consume 50 veces más cantidad de agua. ¿Que hay de la carne ecológica? Hablar de ganadería ecológica es un oxímoron, es otro greenwashing de la industria, denominan este tipo de carne a los animales que han sido alimentados de “piensos ecológicos”. De hecho, según Oxford la producción de carne “ecológica” y la de “carne convencional” emiten casi la misma cantidad de gases de efecto invernadero, además de requerir de más superficie de terreno, en comparación con la producción de alimentos de origen vegetal. Agua ¿Que hay del consumo del agua? El agua potable es un recurso muy limitado La mayor parte del consumo de agua se debe a la producción de alimentos, no al consumo doméstico. La ganadería es el sector que más agua utiliza en el mundo. ⅓ de todo el agua. Y no es porque estos animales beban mucha agua, sino porque se necesita mucha agua para cultivar su alimento. Debido a la sequía extrema provocada por la sociedades occidentales, en África las personas se están viendo obligadas a desplazarse hacia el norte, para sobrevivir. ¿Que problemas causa la ganadería en relación con la contaminación del agua? Los millones de millas cuadradas dedicadas al cultivo de alimentos para los animales que comemos, están fuertemente rociadas con fertilizantes nitrogenados. El nitrógeno se escapa de los campos y se abre paso por los ríos hasta llegar a nuestros océanos. El agua rica en nitrógeno estimula el crecimiento masivo de Algas dando lugar a floraciones de algas tan grandes que pueden verse desde el espacio. Las algas absorben el oxígeno del agua, causando así la muerte de la vida acuática alrededor de ellas. A medida que aumenta la demanda por la carne crece el número de zonas muertas con bajos niveles de oxígeno. “La ganadería es la causa principal de zonas muertas en los océanos” Environmental Protection Agency USA ¿Que sucede con la ganadería industrial y la contaminación por nitratos en España? En España, las macrogranjas de cerdos y pollos son un enorme problema para la contaminación del agua debido a los purines de estos animales. El agua se filtra en el subsuelo y llega al agua subterránea contaminandola. ¿Desde YCS habeis hecho alguna acción relacionada con el agua? Sí, hicimos un trabajo de campo en colaboración con Amigues de la Terra, y gracias a greenpeace que nos cedió un medidor, hicimos diferentes mediciones en zonas cercanas a estas explotaciones intensivas, encontrando resultados realmente preocupantes… ¿Que otras acciones haceis? Divulgación sobre todo lo que he mencionado antes, pintada de murales, plantación de árboles, recogida de basuraleza y picnics veganos en eventos relacionados con el medioambiente en los pueblos.

Hoy nos juntamos de nuevo porque tenemos que hablar, ya que los veganos a veces nos equivocamos y podemos comer productos animales por error. Podéis apoyarnos por sólo 1€ al mes podréis descargar de forma anticipada nuestro podcast, y por 4€ podréis tener acceso al videopodcast y a la hemeroteca de directos. Si quieres colaborar con nosotros puedes ver nuestro Media Kit desde: Malditosveganos.com/mediakit.

Y hemos abierto ya nuestro foro / comunidad de Discord, como punto de reunión para los veganers y no tan veganers del lugar, acceso disponible desde: Malditosveganos.com/foro. Antes de empezar con el tema de hoy os tenemos que recordar que nos veréis este 8 y 9 de Junio en el VegFest 2024 en Barcelona ¡No os lo perdáis! También os recordamos que precisamente el 9 de junio son las elecciones europeas... Y claro que si por ejemplo acudis al VegFest, podéis solicitar el voto por correo para que no os perdáis este evento y ejerzáis vuestro derecho a voto. Con respecto a esto os hablamos de #VoteForAnimals una iniciativa para que los candidatos se comprometan con medidas a favor de los animales. Hay un total de 10 propuestas, podéis mandar un correo a estos candidatos así como ver quienes se han comprometido con estas. Tambien comentar que algunas de las organizaciones que estan adheridas a esto son FAADA y AnimaNaturalis. Y hablando de candidatos a las europeas tenemos el caso de Clara Aguilera que ha renunciado a las listas del PSOE para las elecciones europeas. Esto debido a que salen unas grabaciones de camara oculta suyas en el documental de Food for Profit que se estrenará próximamente. Ahora si nos ponemos a hablar sobre comer productos animales por error, ¿Por qué nos pasa esto? ¿Cómo nos deberíamos sentir? Finalmente hablamos sobre una noticia relacionada con esto, en la que denominan a una persona vegana que dice comer carne y pone en duda los valores del veganismo. Esperamos que os haya gustado mucho este episodio hablando sobre que también nos equivocamos y podemos llegar a comer productos animales por error.

Os recordamos que también estamos en TikTok y cuando lleguemos a 1000 seguidores también haremos directo por ahí. Empezamos presentándonos, ya que los asistentes del año pasado quizás no conocían a fresita MiriamJLas en persona. Tras esto, claro tenemos que comentar sobre el cambio de logo y la curiosa forma de fresita. Miriam también nos cuenta una anécdota graciosa que le ha ocurrido esta semana. Después de esto pasamos a la sección para expresar de lo que estamos hartas, así que lo ponemos en común con el público. Cambiamos de energía para focalizarnos ahora en algo más positivo, imaginar un futuro alternativo. ¿Qué nos gustaría que tuviera? Como anteriormente respondemos y también preguntamos al público del VegFest por sus futuros alternativos. Pasamos ahora a la sección de Problemas Cotidianos Veganos, en el que responderemos a algunas cuestiones que nos habéis hecho llegar. Ahora sí, pasamos a la sección favorita de Sergio, ha preparado un concurso en un Kahoot, en el que los asistentes podrán llevarse premios. Finalmente los 3 mejores del Kahoot pelearan por un carné exclusivo de Maldito Vegano y otros premios cedidos por AnimaNaturalis. Ahora si pasamos a la parte final en la que hacemos la despedida junto a Sekiam, que nos ha acompañado gracias a unos vídeos que ha grabado.

Podéis apoyarnos por sólo 1€ al mes podréis descargar de forma anticipada nuestro podcast, y por 4€ podréis tener acceso al videopodcast y a la hemeroteca de directos. Si quieres colaborar con nosotros puedes ver nuestro Media Kit desde: Malditosveganos.com/mediakit.

Y hemos abierto ya nuestro foro / comunidad de Discord, como punto de reunión para los veganers y no tan veganers del lugar, acceso disponible desde: Malditosveganos.com/foro. Os recordamos que también estamos en TikTok y cuando lleguemos a 1000 seguidores también haremos directo por ahí. Presentamos y agradecimos a Fernando, Fundador de Cuvofoods y al resto del equipo de CUVO por patrocinar y participar en el podcast, haciendo especial mención a Claudia. Lo primero de todo ¿Qué son los cuvos? Pues son cuadronuts, lo que vendrían siendo doughnuts o donas de toda la vida, pero veganos y cuadrados. Hablamos también un poco con Fernando porque como siempre pasa, cuando nos conocemos dos veganos hay unas preguntas que siempre hacemos. ¿Desde cuándo eres vegano? ¿Cuáles fueron tus motivaciones para hacerlo? Le preguntamos también ya que estamos seguro que ha tenido muchas anécdotas veganas interesantes… ¿cuál es la anécdota más surrealista que te ha sucedido siendo vegano? Volvemos de nuevo al tema de los cuvos ¿Cómo fueron los inicios? ¿Cómo surgió está idea? ¿Por qué los tienes cuadrados Fernando? (los cuvos) Es muy fácil hacerse con uno de estos cuvos, podéis comprarlos de forma online desde https://cuvofoods.com/ y de hecho en 24h los hemos tenido aquí en casa. Además de esto también se pueden encontrar en alguna tienda física, y cada vez en más sitios. Antes de grabar hoy habíamos hablado de que nos conocisteis en la primera edición del VegFest, ¿nos encontraremos este año por ahí? Aparte de esto Fernando nos comenta que Cuvofoods también va a estar en el festival ¡PRIMAVERA SOUND!, y que va a tener que hacer muuuchos cuvos para ese evento. Finalmente os ponemos por aquí las principales RRSS de Cuvofoods, su instagram (@cuvofoods) y su web https://cuvofoods.com/. Esperamos que os haya gustado mucho este episodio y hayáis conocido un poco más a Fernando de Cuvofoods.

Vegan Festival Season is here! Today Hope chats with Erika Hazel. Erika is a popular social media influencer and food blogger known as the Bizerkeley Vegan. Erika became The Bizerkeley Vegan after she transitioned to the vegan lifestyle and the name comes from her love of everything others see as bizarre or unique about Berkeley, California. Erika organizes the Bizerkeley Food Fest and she and Hope talk about the importance of vegan food fests for building community, supporting small businesses, and showing pre-vegans how good plant-based food can be. “Going through the stomach is my form of activism.” -Erika Hazel, The Bizerkeley VeganResources:Instagram: The Bizerkeley Vegan
The Plant Centered and Thriving Podcast: Plant-Based Inspiration
Today we celebrate our 75th episode in my own backyard!I usually bring you experts or amazing stories. Today, I bring you inspiration of a different sort; a cross-section of folks, young and old, those who have been vegan for years and those who just started, people from the triangle area of Durham, North Carolina. I asked them 1) WHY they transitioned and 2) if they would provide any advice for anyone thinking about changing their eating habits. I hope you will be enlightened as much as I was at how differently we all arrive to a similar goal. Thank you Durham!
