The Vegan Report

Addressing Anti-Vegan Criticism. With Rebecca Brooks | Ep. 66


Listen Later

Today, make the acquaintance of Rebecca Brooks, an outspoken vegan, for a casual conversation about the following points of criticism vegans often get:

Nutritional deficiencies: Critics claim that a vegan diet can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients like protein, vitamin B12, iron, and calcium.

Economic cost: There's a perception that a vegan lifestyle is more expensive due to the cost of specialty products and organic produce.

Animal testing paradox: There’s an argument that some vegans overlook the use of animal-tested medications and products.

Family dynamics: Some claim that being vegan can cause friction within families, especially if only one member follows the diet.

Impact on farming communities: There’s concern that a shift towards veganism can negatively affect communities that rely on livestock farming.
