Today, I am joined by Philosopher and author of Hungry Beautiful Animals, Matthew Halteman. Matt is is professor of philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and a fellow at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics in the UK. He is the author of Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation and co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments about the Ethics of Eating.

His book Hungry Beautiful Animals, of which we talk a lot about, is a heartfelt, humane, and humorous exploration of how going vegan can bring abundance into our lives.

This is such a rich conversation of veganism, morality, abundance, leading with love, and the parallels we observe in the state of our world right now, Matt and I dig in deep with a lot of care, love, and laughs.
