Boundless Body Radio The Vegetarian Myth with Bestselling Author Lierre Keith 067
So you think you love animals? We think Lierre Keith loves them more. After strictly following a vegan diet for two decades, and the expense of her own health, she had to begin eating animal products again. After learning the truth about the sustainability, politics, and human health aspect of only eating plants, she wrote the highly acclaimed The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability in 2009. The book is hard hitting and honest, with a few hilarious anecdotes mixed in (we had to have her tell us the lettuce/slug story!). Lierre helps us realize that, no matter what we choose to eat, something has to die. It's a complicated and sobering thought, but facing the truth helps us eat more mindfully and thankfully. We are grateful for Lierre and her courage to tell the truth, regardless of the outcome!
