Summary
I highly encourage vegans, vegetarians, and non-vegans to engage in respectful dialogue about the issues that are not often in the public discourse. As vegans and vegetarians, we need to create a safe space for the comments and questions we hear — even if we've heard them a million times.
As non-vegans / non-vegetarians, we can expand our perspective by asking genuine questions. In this episode, I go through some common remarks about veganiam and invite you to find yourself in the examples I give. As always, bring your sense of humor with you.
