In this episode we wanted to talk about what our plant based journey has been, why we went plant based, and how it has actually gone. Kristel tells about what changed her outlook on her diet when she learned that everyone has cancer cells inside their body and sometimes those cancer cells will grow based on how we eat. Michael explains that it was when he started reading up on the CDC website that up to 50% of disease can be prevented by what people choose to put into their bodies.

“It’s not being afraid of just throwing things together, and there are so many amazing resources online as well. We have so many recipes now, but just throwing things together and not being afraid to try new things. And sometimes you will have great recipes, sometimes you’re like, ‘Oh, that was not the best.’” 12:59

Michael and Kristel speak with author and psychologist Melanie Joy about Speciesism and Carnism. Melanie walks us through how animals of different species are treated differently, and how that doesn't make sense in a holistic world and the psychology involved in what we eat. She has several books; Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows as well as Beyond Beliefs: A Guide to Improving Relationships and Communication for Vegans, Vegetarians, and Meat Eaters. We are so grateful for the insights she shared into the culture surrounding veganism and carnism and what we can do to change it.
