Ex-Vegans and Ex-Vegan Celebrities: Why People Stop Being Vegan

09/30/20 • 89 min

Food for Thought: The Joys and Benefits of Living Vegan

Ex-Vegan celebrities — Miley Cyrus, Ellen DeGeneres, Joaquin Phoenix (just kidding, calm down) — and ex-vegan non-celebrities (friends, family members, co-workers) leave vegans feeling disappointed and perplexed. In this episode I address why people stop being vegan in the first place. Is it because:

*they lack willpower?*they lack compassion?*you can't get protein and Omega-3s from plants?*because there's nothing to eat?

And I address the responses vegans have to ex-vegans:

*"they were never vegan in the first place."*"they didn't do it for ethics — only health."*"they were fake vegans; real vegans don't go back."

Join me for this extended episode as I tackle the excuses and the reasons behind ex-vegans and the assertions made by vegans who "just don't understand" how vegans can stop being vegan.

Animal-Friendly Gardens: Plants, Flowers, and Trees Named After Animals

The thousands of animal-related words and expressions we have in our English language illustrate how deeply connected we are to animals, and that's never more apparent than in the names of plants — both the common names and the botanical names. Join me on this fun journey through gardens, fields, and forests as we discover plants, trees, flowers, and fungi named after animals.

Animal-Related Scary Movies

Don't worry! I don't recommend films in which animals are the victims of gruesome violence. So, grab some popcorn, get a pen and paper, and settle into this episode where I share my suggestions for films that are perfect for Halloween — for kids and adult alike.
