#84 The Vegetarian Myth - Lierre Keith 20 Years on a Vegan Diet

If you've paid any attention to recent news, then you probably have seen a lot of headlines related to plant-based vegan diets and such.  A lot of people are going fully vegan in hopes to improve their health, fight environmental challenges, and save the animals. It's true that there are a lot of things wrong with animal husbandry, agriculture, large metropolitan cities, and eating other species. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of things missing from the mainstream vegan narrative.  Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm your host Siim Land and our guest today is Lierre Keith. Lierre is the author of The Vegetarian Myth that talks about her story of being on a plant-based vegan diet for 20 years. She suffered from some serious health conditions, such as arthritis, spinal cord damage, and depression.  Timestamps: Why Lierre Started the Vegan Diet 01:10 How Being Vegan Damaged Lierre's Health 06:15 Is It Possible to Eat a Vegan Diet Long Term 31:30 Could You Cycle Eating Vegan and Omnivore 42:55 Is the Vegan Diet Better for the Environment 51:50 What Created Factory Farming 01:00:00 Agriculture VS Raising Cattle 01:09:30 Ethics of Growing Animals and Eating 01:16:24  And Much More...
