/

Chris Jeffries and Plant Geezer discuss the challenges and misconceptions surrounding veganism. They highlight the mean-spiritedness of some within the vegan community, which makes it difficult to gain traction with non-vegans. They also address arguments against veganism, such as humans being omnivores, and dismiss them as flawed. The speakers stress the importance of not picking and choosing which injustices to care about and emphasize the need for cultural change in order to gain majority support for veganism. They also discuss the influence of capitalism and government subsidies in promoting unhealthy eating habits and the need to address food addiction. Despite the challenges, they express hope that the vegan revolution can overcome these obstacles.
