In this episode I delve into the current slaughterhouse situation in the US, talking not only about the outbreaks of COVID-19 in US facilities and the effect that is having on slaughterhouse workers, but also how slaughterhouses foster an environment where workers suffer from mental health problems such as PTSD, drug and alcohol dependency, social isolation and emotional repression. I reflect on some of my personal experiences with slaughterhouses and slaughterhouse workers, and I also discuss how the current pandemic is driving people towards vegan options.

Today I speak with Mic the Vegan, a highly influential vegan educator and YouTuber, about what’s happening right now in slaughterhouses in relation to COVID-19, as well as the possibility of the coronavirus also being able to be spread through animals such as pigs. 

We also discuss whether or not a whole foods plant-based diet can help us in the fight against the pandemic, and how our diets could be making us more vulnerable to the coronavirus.

Dr. Greger is a physician, New York Times bestselling author, and internationally recognised speaker on nutrition, food safety, and public health issues. Dr Greger has also worked on the human health implications of intensive animal agriculture, including the routine use of non-therapeutic antibiotics and growth hormones in animals raised for food, and the public health threats of industrial factory farms. In his speech from over a decade ago, ‘Pandemics: History & Prevention’, Dr Greger spoke about the inextricable link between animal use and zoonotic disease, as well as the dangers associated with industrialised farming of birds and pigs. In this episode of The Disclosure Podcast we discuss those dangers, as well as how to prevent the next pandemic.

During my time in Berlin late last year, I had the honour of talking to Dr. Melanie Joy, a Harvard educated psychologist, public speaker and author who coined the term ‘carnism’. Throughout our conversation we talk about handling divisions with non-vegan friends and family, as well as discussing how to create healthier and more effective communication habits for our vegan advocacy in general.

Breaking down the latest news surrounding COVID-19 in relation to our exploitation of animals. Last weekend The Guardian ran a headline article on their homepage 'Is factory farming to blame for coronavirus?' - which brought up the censorship of my recent Instagram post on 'COVID-19'. Additionally, I discuss how the current crisis is impacting animals, slaughterhouse workers and dairy farmers. Most worryingly, I discuss whether it is possible that another pandemic hits us whilst we're in the middle of COVID-19.

Self-isolating or in quarantine? In this podcast I discuss the importance of taking care of ourselves during the COVID-19 pandemic and how we can use our time in self-isolation and quarantine to the best possible effect, both as activists, but also in terms of protecting our mental health and well-being too.

Today I discuss the perceived link between eating meat and being masculine, as well as dairy consumption and femininity. I tackle these ideas by exploring the historical, social and cultural aspects that have either led us to this point, or continue to perpetuate these mindsets.

Jo-Anne McArthur is a multi award-winning photographer, author and public speaker. Through her work We Animals, Jo-Anne documents the ‘invisible animals’ across the globe, the animals we eat, wear, test on and enslave, yet rarely see. Her award-winning work is frequently featured in high profile publications such as National Geographic, The Guardian and The Washington Post. ⁣I sit down with Jo-Anne to discuss her powerful work, the impact that it has, and also the effect that it has had on her. How can we as vegans, handle animal suffering? And how can we improve and be more present as animal rights activists?

In the first episode of Season 2 of The Disclosure Podcast, I discuss where we’re at in the vegan movement in the year 2020. Has Veganuary actually saved any animals, and how are the farmers beginning to fight back against us?
