Delanie Fischer is joined by educator, best-selling author, and content creator widely known for his viral debates and speeches, Ed Winters. Annoyed by vegans? We were too. Eat meat, dairy, and eggs at just about every meal? We did too. Ed answers questions like isn’t vegan food expensive (and gross)? Don’t we need to eat animal products for optimal nutrition? Won’t animals overrun us if we stop eating them? Aren’t vegans just judgmental, elitist a-holes? But BACON! Whether you hate, love, or are indifferent about this vegan thang, Ed dishes out some shocking information about health, animals, the environment, disease prevention, and social conditioning. Delanie (a huge foodie) also shares how this delicious, and surprisingly simple, transition transformed her life by clearing her acne, reversing her Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and improving her chronic digestive issues, as well as how it changed her newly vegan parents’ lives including reduced cholesterol and blood pressure, healthy weight loss, and eradicated allergies -- their doctor even told them they now have the innards of 30-something year olds!! We double dare you to tune in.
