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!

  2. 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.

The Shopping Conspiracy

Women have been targeted for decades with the message that shopping is recreation. It’s a way to relax and unwind, sure, but recreational shopping also contributes to the climate crisis, supports the worst of shareholder capitalism, and creates an awful lot of unnecessary waste.

Enter Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, a hard-hitting new Netflix documentary that forces viewers to look at our waste-related woes. On today’s show producer Flora Bagenal offers a behind-the-scenes look at the documentary’s creation; she also answers your pressing, post-viewing questions.

A note from Stephanie: This episode was recorded before the Los Angeles wildfires. If you're able, please consider donating to one of these organizations. 

 

Here’s a preview:

[7:00] People find it hard to look at waste, and yet the film makes us look. A behind-the-scenes examination all those hard-hitting images

[16:30] Adidas, Amazon, Unilever, and Apple: Here's why the film featured former employees-turned-whistleblowers

[26:00] Corporate execs must show growth, and corporations are on a treadmill of extracting more and more $$ by pushing unnecessary and redundant products. Is not buying an effective act of resistance?

[30:00] Mindset shifts! Quality is a climate issue, and once you press ‘Buy Now’ you become responsible for the item’s end of life

[36:00] Exactly how to Use. Your. Rage!
