    Send us Fan Mail

    Are vegan and vegetarian diets safe? 

    In this podcast episode we refer back to the Weston A Price foundation for much research on this important topic. 

    And what better timing to have such a podcast when the powers that be would like all our meat to be plant based and our protein to come from bugs and grasshoppers. 

    Whatever your opinion on this controversial topic, I believe everyone still has their agency to eat the way that feels best for their body.
