Summary

In Episode #57, I sat down with Carly Taylor and James Aspey to talk about animal activism and the importance of being patient, kind, and understanding when communicating the plant-based message. For those of you who may be more interested in the health aspects of a plant-based lifestyle, or perhaps see people following a plant-based lifestyle as extreme, I urge you to listen to this conversation – I think it just may give you a different view. In this 2.5-hour episode, we cover strategies for talking to others about the ethics of a plant-based lifestyle; human rights, mental health, animal health and rights, and planetary health; the idea of ‘humane’ slaughter* – organic, free-range, cage-free, etc.; and the packaging and marketing of animal products. Listen for tips and inspiration on fuelling yourself with plants this year, with options for everyone (junk food versus whole food), and a plethora of resources to refer to for more information and inspiration. *NOTE: Although this episode doesn’t go into as much detail about factory farming as my previous interview with James Aspey, there is still some talk about what happens to animals. With that in mind, parents might want to listen to this one first before deciding if it’s OK for young children to listen.

0:00.0	Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience
0:07.4	numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you
0:12.2	to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying
0:17.6	the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple
0:22.6	or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue
0:27.5	to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big
0:32.3	plans for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this
0:36.7	possible.
0:38.0	People don't value non-human animals anywhere near the same that we would give value
0:45.4	to human animals and when you really get down to it, the things that make our lives
0:50.1	matter and are valuable and the reason why I won't murder you and I don't want to be
0:54.6	murdered is exactly the same reasons that it's wrong to murder any other being. Whether
0:59.8	they're both feathers or scales or wings or fur, they all have a heart, they all have
1:04.3	a brain, they're all conscious feeling beings that look around and see and hear and breathe
1:09.5	and eat and sleep and have a family and a community. They are basically us just in a slightly
1:15.6	different form. Because you look a little different on the outside, we own you. We can dominate
1:20.8	you so we will, we're going to force you to live the way that we want you to live, which
1:24.4	is being our slaves and if you don't comply, they're going to be serious consequences and
1:29.0	you're not going to like them.
1:30.6	That's Carly Taylor and James Aspie and this is the Proof Podcast.
1:38.0	Hey friends, thanks for joining me for another episode of the Plant Proof Podcast. For
1:55.8	neolisteners, welcome. My name is Simon Hill. I'm your host, qualified physiotherapist
