The Bearded Vegans

This week The Bearded Vegans continue their analysis of the recent high profile vegan protests in Australia. With mass demonstrations across multiple cities causing slaughterhouses and traffic to shut down for hours, they ask if this was a win for animals. They'll start by laying out various metrics for measuring success and then see how this particular action lives up to it. After going over the positive affects of the action they then ask whether the positives outweigh the potential negative damage it may or may not do to the image of veganism as a whole. In what was originally intended to be a mini-episode, this turns out to be one of their longest yet, so strap in for a wild ride!

This week The Bearded Vegans are pleased to bring you a thought provoking interview with Jake Conroy aka The Cranky Vegan. Building off his activist history, including the SHAC campaign, which was so successful it incurred the full wrath of the federal government, we talk about his insights for a successful strategy to achieve animal liberation. Jake questions the idea that we just need to make enough vegans in order to achieve a vegan world. We'll talk about what that means for the future of vegan advocacy and activism focused on individual change.

As Paul and Andy delve deeper into the world of ex-veganism, they came across an article asserting that the health argument is, in fact, the only motivating factor that will keep people (mostly) vegan for life. That purely ethical motivation is bound to create many unhealthy vegans that are likely to go back to their meat eating ways. They'll take a closer look at the argument and data to see if this holds any truth. They also continue their discussion about the Impossible Foods' scandal at Expo West, which they are now going to call CheeseGate.

This week Paul and Andy continue their Ex Vegan series with an exploration of the phenomenon of the ex-vegan blogger who had to give up on their plant based diet as a result of failing health. With a number of prominent vegan YouTubers making public "why I'm no longer vegan" statements in the past few weeks, the bearded duo dive into the reasoning seen time and time again and do their best to separate the fact from the fiction. Why is it that so many folks that are hyper focused on healthy eating end up with such severe health problems? Is it possible that eating animal products could cause a drastic change in health in a matter of days? Do some people just need to eat meat? Paul and Andy tap into the expertise of Ginny Messina, The Vegan RD, for some answers and do some of their own patented wild speculation along the way.

This week, The Bearded Vegans begin a multi-part exploration of all aspects ex-vegan. Polls indicate a high rate of vegan recidivism, that there are more ex-vegans on the planet than vegans. They want to examine the root causes of this phenomena, what we can do to prevent it, and discuss how the vegan movement's reaction to ex-vegans hurts or helps the cause. For the first installment, we dive into the world of the celebrity ex-vegan and the inevitable backlash their ex-vegan announcement causes.
