Evan Anderson, Scout Hartley and Michael Favata discuss the politics of veganism. Topics include

-The power of networks and social capital

-The Environmental Voter Project and the low voter turnout of environmentalists

-Political divides within the vegan movement

One may follow the letter of the law, but not the spirit of the law, or vice versa. Here at the Reasoned Vegan we want to follow the spirit of veganism, without so much emphasis on the letter. With that in mind, Evan Anderson and Mike Favata discuss the borders beyond veganism, with issues like palm oil, sustainable (and ethical) food production, and freeganism.

Episode 3 on “What the Health” and the Value of Health-based Advocacy

https://thereasonedvegan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/edited-rv-ep-3.mp3

In this episode Scout Hartley and I (Mike Favata) are joined by Evan Anderson, fellow founder of The Reasoned Vegan, who came up with the name independently. Evan’s post on “What the Health” and the science behind the claims made in the film spurred this conversation. Each of us share concerns about the potential for unrealistic health promises, but differ slightly on the implications for vegan advocacy.

Hey everybody. In this episode we are asking the fundamental question: What does vegan mean? We go beyond definitions and talk about what it means to be vegan in practical terms. We bob and weave through the different ways that one can practice a vegan lifestyle and what considerations should be made.

Please join us as we explore the vast world of veganism, the variety and thoughtfulness that truly makes it a lifestyle choice more than anything else! As we demonstrate in this episode, there’s a lot of different ways to frame the topic, please let us know how you think about it below.

Thanks everyone! I’m happy for you to be here in this project with us!

I can’t tell whether I’m better at typing or speaking, so I’m pretty much going to be doing both. Please give me your feedback, though..
