Summary

After our fun, fictional, vegan musings of the magical world last week, the ChickPeeps take a more factual turn with a discussion on health as a vegan, and the common misconceptions society holds of plant-based nutrition. The brilliant Dr.Garth Davis, weight loss surgeon, author of Proteinaholic, and outspoken advocate for plant-based nutrition joins us (8.55 min in) for this episode to debunk the myths and explain to us the science of why our bodies function better without animal products. Also on this episode...

Dr.Davis shares how his own health problems caused him to realise that the standard american diet was far from optimal.
How Dr.Davis' perspective on health evolved and with it his attitude to diet: 'I just believed we were born with a lemon for a body'...'a flawed entity'.
We're not in the food chain anymore.'
Is eating too many carbs on a vegan diet cause for concern?
'A steak is not a protein'.
Can you call white meat and fish 'clean'?
Is cow's milk necessary for strong bones and healthy teeth?
Why it's illegal to market eggs as 'healthy'.
Complete proteins and how important it is to get the right balance of amino acids.
B12; where it comes from and does Dr.Davis take a supplement?
Why does soy get such a bad rep?
Vegan Blood: 8x more effective at killing prostate cancer cells!

0:14.9	The gym.
0:17.0	Hello, hello, lovely listeners.
0:19.1	Welcome to episode 11, which is confusing because we did two episode 9 and 3 quarters, but trust me, it's episode 11.
0:27.5	Thank you for being here, and thank you so much for your input and feedback to the last episodes, the Harry Potter episodes.
0:35.1	They were so much fun.
0:36.2	It just occurred to me, you're the boss.
0:37.9	You could, you could call it like episode 74 if you wanted. It doesn't really matter.
0:43.1	I could get drunk on power and do that. But I'm not going to. Because I like organization and it

1:22.2	And this is something I think we don't really talk about it
1:26.4	because we are, me and Robbie personally, and Tyler and Momo are all ethical vegans. We're all interested in the ethics. And I think it's also the people that we're talking to, like we're all in our 20s, I think. Nope, we're not. We're not. We're definitely not. Don't say that, you're ages.
1:53.4	But I think as a young vegan who's into the ethics, I don't always think about the health, and I should, apart from taking my B12.
