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.

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
