Our guest Stuart, was born and bred in Kentucky. He mentioned that he had met Babita Shrestha, our guest from episode #141, who’s a Nepalese vegan chef, back in Kentucky, years ago. This made us smile, thinking about the deep desire we share to connect with each other.

Our guest today shares with us his deeply integrated sense that all beings deserve space for life. And pulls back the curtain on how, like Mr.Anderson (before he becomes Neo in the Matrix) we’ve been living in a constructed illusion where our food is concerned!

Author and activist Stuart Waldner didn’t set out to be an animal welfare or plant-based spokesman. But, after two decades of exploring Earth’s greatest wonders and connecting with sacred sites around the globe, he transitioned fully to a completely vegan lifestyle in 2008.

Stuart says, “Like Neo in the Matrix, the Meatrix hooked my brain and my body on what it force-fed me since birth. Since taking the red pill and becoming plant-based, I see how I was living in a world of speciesism, brainwashed by the Meatrix and hooked on its products. I believe the Meatrix held this power over me because it is a cult I was born into and never questioned.”

The better he felt, not consuming animal-based products, the more he learned about the statistical connections between our dietary choices and the worldwide crises we’re about to face on a global scale. He felt called to wake people up—for our health and for the planet!

Our survival as a species is intimately tied to every other living creature on the planet. The choices we make around the ways we treat and consume other beings is having a devastating effect on our precious earth, and a catastrophic price will be paid by all, if we don’t make some serious efforts to alter the course we’re on!
