#18 The Inconvenient Fallacies of a Vegan Diet with Brian Sanders (Part 2)
Is being a vegan better morally? For the environment? For human health? Or are there actually problems with omitting animal foods from our diet as well as over-consuming plant foods? Brian Sanders shares his insights into these questions and the main problems with the popular claims supporting a vegan diet. If you have yet to listen to part 1 of our conversation, I recommend you give that a listen.
Brian Sanders is the filmmaker behind the feature-length documentary Food Lies and host of the Peak Human podcast. He graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and then turned to technology and sold an app company. He’s used his technical background and love for fitness & nutrition to also work as a Health Coach and be the co-founder of the health, media, and technology company SAPIEN.
