Does sustainable meat exist? Are plants sentient? And do vegans really eat enough protein? The MeatBusters podcast is on a mission to debunk meat-eater myths and misconceptions about veganism. Join vegan recipe developer and blogger Alisha V (TheLishLife.com) as she collaborates with experts to educate listeners on the ethical, environmental, social, and personal benefits of a plant-based lifestyle.
If you (still) think veganism is a diet, this one is for you. And who better to dissect this misconception than a vegan and anti-diet registered dietitian?! Taylor Wolfram, RD (@taylorwolframrd (//instagram.com/taylorwolframrd)), describes her journey as a vegan dietitian who is committed to intuitive eating, self-care, and vegan nutrition. Taylor and Alisha discuss what it means to eat intuitively, how the philosophy intersects with veganism, and ways to transform the mainstream vegan movement into one that acknowledges body diversity and denounces diet culture.

Is Veganism Casteist?
What is casteism? And how does it manifest in veganism? Anti-caste vegan advocate Rama (@ramavgan (//instagram.com/ramavgan)) joins Alisha to clarify the history and origins of the Hindu caste system, the problem with misattributing ethical veganism to Hinduism, and how to divest from casteism in the vegan sphere. A follow-up episode on the intersections of veganism and anti-caste activism will be the next in this series.

Is Veganism Anti-Indigenous?
Is veganism anti-Indigenous? And if not, why do so many people believe it is? Let's discuss! Indigenous vegan and anti-oppression advocate Jen Bell Rivera joins Alisha to dispel this myth and clarify its origins in white veganism - the whitewashing of mainstream veganism that leads to BIPOC erasure within the movement. Jen discusses how the movements for animal liberation and Indigenous sovereignty share many common values and recommends actions vegans can take to make the movement more inclusive of and accessible to Native peoples. // Find Jen on Instagram at @jenriverabell (//instagram.com/jenriverabell) and on her blog, jenriverabell.com (//jenriverabell.com). // Subscribe to Jen's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmqEVEzGt8NXRK3Lotk7UzA). // Become a patron of Jen on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JenRiveraBell (https://www.patreon.com/JenRiveraBell). // View the MeatBusters episode webpage for a list of resources recommended by Jen: thelishlife.com/blog/2021/1/29/is-veganism-anti-indigenous (//thelishlife.com/blog/2021/1/29/is-veganism-anti-indigenous)
