044: Meat-Free Motivation

Tried and True strategies for incrementally reducing meat and dairy in our diets.

Been listening to this podcast for awhile?  If so, you probably:

  • Rely on reusable shopping bags like a pro.
  • Brew your morning coffee at home.
  • Turn off lights in rooms you’re not physically in.

You’re doing everything you can to preserve our planet. That’s wonderful. (Really!)

But are you vegan?

I know eating habits are a touchy subject. This week, I’m going there anyway. 

It’s as simple as this: We aren’t doing all we can in the name of sustainability if we aren’t drastically cutting BACK on (or, even better, cutting OUT) meat + dairy.

That’s where today’s episode comes in. I’ve been a vegetarian for 18 years + counting. On this week’s show, I’m calling on this experience as I offer my 4 best tips to *incrementally* go plant-based.

Even better? I’m offering up my family’s favorite vegan recipes. 

Enjoy!

  1. Hi, very interesting podcast! Thank you!

    About the cheese, it is true that is difficult to find a similar consistence and taste.
    I’ve tried many Italians, they’re good, but we’re not there.
    I think the best are:
    -> absolutely https://www.newroots.ch/ : to see and the consistency unmatched by the Camandber.
    –> then https://www.vegusto.ch/en

    This summer I went to NY and found in the shop attached to the Moo Shoes (south of Manhattan), a Canadian cheese (also based on cashews), really good.
    Even friends (not vegans) find it surprising.

How Many Jeans Do You Own?

Denim jeans were once the preferred trouser for cowboys in the American west; some decades later, they became a symbol of rebellion for non-conformist teens.
