Why a Vegan Diet Isn’t a Panacea
Warning: this episode may ruffle some vegan police feathers.
Here at Thought For Food, we try to keep not only judgement-free, but also realistic and inclusive. But we also want to change paradigms, and paradigms are not shifted by being safe, censored, and idealistic. So, with this episode, we pushed the boundaries a bit.
It's extremely common to hear vegans claiming things like: going vegan will make you stronger than you've ever been. You'll never get sick again! Going vegan will save the world, or you will no longer be aggressive or angry because you aren't consuming fear and death. Essentially that eating a completely plant-based diet is a panacea for all that ails us. These idealistic and unrealistic claims can often get out of hand, and create an unfavorable depiction of plant-based diets. Now, we're obviously not saying going vegan isn't amazing, it is. We just prefer to stick to the science and evidence to come to conclusions rather than sensational claims that are too often used in nutrition and lifestyle media. And since most of these claims are wrong, it makes it difficult for people who aren't finding the results they desire to stick with the lifestyle.
In this episode, Aaron and Jackson go through many of these common claims and debunk them. It may come off as a bit negative at times, but the overall message is that we need to be realistic and objective when talking about these things. If we want the masses to change for the better, then we have to keep it real. We appreciate the support and let us know what you think! Do you find it frustrating when certain vegans make sweeping claims?
Thank you to everyone who's been sharing the show with your friends and family and on social media! It seriously kicks ass. Also a big thank you to those who have left iTunes reviews, this really helps us out a ton and keeps growing this message and movement towards healthier living. We honestly couldn't do this without you, so keep doing what you're doing!
Go eat some plants, and what's your thought for food?
