Summary

In Episode #88, I sat down with Seb Alex to discuss the importance of animal welfare and what life looks like through the lens of an animal activist. I understand that the topic of animal welfare is often a little uncomfortable (I totally get it), and perhaps you hold the stereotypical view of animal activists as being angry, weird, and violent. I know I used to. But Seb is anything but that, and I urge all of you, plant-based eaters or not, to listen to this conversation with an open mind. Even if you’re not interested in a plant-based lifestyle, it’s interesting to listen to what people from different walks of life have to say. In this episode, Seb and I discuss normalising plant-based diets and what Seb thinks about the Impossible Burger and large chains like Hungry Jacks who have added plant-based burgers onto their menu. We also tackle some big questions like what counts as a sentient being, whether there are different levels of sentience, what speciesism is, and whether ‘humane slaughter’ exists.

0:49.8	I come from the perspective of if you have the chance to support a fully vegan ethical
0:54.3	business, why would you not?
0:55.9	These are restaurants that for us show how the future is going to be.
0:59.8	Why would you not want to put the higher demand for those places with other restaurants, whether
1:04.2	it's meat or chicken or whatever or vegetarian even?
1:07.4	I would only go there if I don't have the option to go to a vegan restaurant because for
1:11.8	me, if they're serving cow meat, let's say, it's the same as them serving dog meat.
