finaly a full opinion, not half extremes.

they missed out palm oil in vegan food, but pritty much got the rest. people love a good side to be on. I'm always being told to get off the fence, (or better still, up a tree in a lush wide hedge; full of native wildlife) but from up here i can see both sides really well, and neither of you are completly right or completly wrong. so now we're going to be working together. lets start campigning to get meat labeling to say how the animal is raised in what farm system. so those of us with the privalage to be able to aford the choice, can make it.

Thought provoking

interesting to hear the different views from all sides. Personally I think we need to simplify our existence on this planet on the whole. Money rules the world unfortunately and it wont be easy. We are just one animal out of billions of organisms on this planet, yet we are the most destructive of all. Something makes me think we are deluded calling others vermin or plagues when we ourselves should have those titles. Nature works in cycles and one day she will get us back epicly, that is excluding the natural disasters etc she's thrown at us so far.

Very Thought Provoking

As a Vegan I thought I had all the answers but Rachel raises a number of alternative answers to the eco-disaster that is the meal and dairy industry. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, omni or just plain carnivorous, you'll benefit from listening to this thought provoking blog.

A balanced dive into the world of food....

Thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish. we have become so used to be being food shamed (meat = murder) and it was refreshing to hear food being discussed in a open, non judgemental way. It has given me lots to look up and think about, and it has given me the confidence to start dialogues around what my friends eat, without judgement.

so worth hearing

Open-minded, well researched, so interesting, so much more to think about than we hear from the loudest voices. As a doctor I have seen too many unwell vegans, but as someone who has cared about the environment for 50 years(yes there are many of us older people who have!) I am very concerned about animal husbandry and food miles, the latter being a big issue even for virtuous vegans. Rachel Khoo is very personable, a great interviewer and presenter, able to voice certainly my dilemmas on this subject, and I was also influenced by a wonderful grandma! I especially loved the Maori farmer.

An honest investigation into a complex subject

It was good to finally see this subject tackled by someone who actually likes food and knows how to cook. There are so many different areas of the discussion taken into consideration here, far more than I have seen before.

If you are looking for confirmation bias on either side of the argument, you will not find it here. Neither will you find extremist health advice (we all should be eating fruits and vegetables whether we eat meat or not, we all know this).

Our susceptibility to the media induced 'battle' between plant-based and meat consuming diets is merely a symptom of the larger issue at hand; our disconnect with food and our environment. The varied discussion with vegans, farmers, older generations and different cultures further highlights the fact that we all must work together in order to bring meaningful change to our future.

thought provoking

I loved listening to this series, I listened to them all in quick succession.
Rachel has the perfect voice for audio and is pleasant to listen to.
A carnivores crisis is thought provoking whilst being informative on all sides of the debate. I will recommend.
