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.

    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.
