I recently watched an episode of Surrounded where one vegan sits down with 20 meat-eaters to answer questions and challenges about veganism.
And while the format is intense, the arguments themselves are actually very familiar.
In this mini solo episode, I break down some of the most common points raised and offer my perspective on each one. Including:
- “Plants feel pain”
- Soy production and whether animal agriculture is really driving it
- The idea that you need multiple supplements to be vegan
- “Suffering is inevitable”
- Hunting vs natural death
- Protein, athletes, and performance
- Crop deaths and unintended harm
- And more
If you’ve ever heard these claims or found yourself unsure how to respond to them, this episode addresses these conversations around veganism from both a nutrition and ethical perspective.
