Ep134: "Why Vegan" Series: Veganism and the Animals Pt. 1 Meat

Today in our "Why Vegan" series, I’m very excited because we get to tackle my personal “why”, the animals.

When I went vegan many years ago, it was learning about what happens to animals in our modern agriculture system that did it for me. Today I share a bit of what that journey was like, and I go deep into helping you understand what’s wrong with our treatment of animals in these industries. In today's episode, part 1, we'll begin by talking about meat, with fish, dairy and eggs to follow in the next few weeks.

If you’re not sure if hearing about what happens to animals is something you’re ready for, I ask that you at least listen in to the first part of the episode. I’ll explain why this was such an important part of my journey, and I’ll also explain why I think that listening to these issues as a first approach can set you on your journey without it being as painful as watching graphic images, while definitely arming you with all the motivation needed to stick with this change. I’ll also talk about why this “why” has instant positive effects, whether you make one vegan choice, you’re ready for three, for twenty or for a lifetime of eating in this new and delicious way.

These next few episodes in this series and the original recordings of these lessons are very deep and personal to me and I hope that you love them too. It’s also a great resource to share with friends or family who ask you questions about the way you eat, as it’s as kind and compassionate towards the listener as it is towards the animals. You can share the episode through Apple podcasts or your favorite podcast app.
