Making It Awkward

Diet Evangelism: Netflix’s vegan twin experiment


Listen Later

Jessica watched Netflix’s You Are What You Eat; A Twin Experiment and was disappointed. The documentary did not make the case for her to be vegan for physiological reasons, or really for anyone else. She talks about this, and everything the series left out with Jen Jacobs, her editor, who shares some about her experience as a fat vegan. The two chat about how the show seemed like an extended commercial for vegan food brands and how they wanted way more of the charming twins. 

Also, when did Eric Adams and Cory Booker become vegan experts???
