Some people say: “Just because you’re vegan, doesn’t mean you’re healthy. Vegans eat a lot of processed foods. Processed foods are killing people. Processed foods are evil.” In today’s episode, I offer my response to this idea that “processed foods” are bad for us or that they reflect poorly on veganism. The truth is we ALL eat “processed foods,” and “vegan” is not a diet.
Thank you to listener supporters and to our sponsor The American Antivivisection Society.
