Summary

This week's show is with one impressive woman, Lierre Keith. Lierre has been a highly requested guest for a while now, and I think this show is going to show you exactly why.

Lierre is the author of "The Vegetarian Myth," plus she is a farmer and an activist. She has a great story about not only how she personally transitioned away from veganism, but also how her story can help others to realize when food choices aren't working for them.

In this week's show we talk about:
  • Why being a vegan may be harmful for your health.
  • How agriculture broke the planet and made us fat and sick.
  • What we can do to reclaim our health and save the world.
  • And lots more!

The problem is actually agriculture, it is THE most destructive thing people have done to the planet. - Lierre Keith *Click to Tweet!

More Updates from FatBurningMan.com:
  • Thank you to everyone for the HUGE outpouring of support we've received for our apps. If you haven't seen "Caveman Feast" and "Gluten-Free Desserts" - go check them out!

  • Be sure you are signed up to receive updates so you can hear about a very exciting product launch coming up! We are teaming up with one of Austin's premier trainers, David King to bring you something awesome.
What did you learn from this week's show with Lierre? Let us know what you think you can do to help with the growing problem of our agriculture system in the comments below.
