Vegan for Health vs. Vegan for Ethics: Is There a Difference and Does it Matter?

Share this:

Often when you tell someone you’re vegan, the response is: “Why are you vegan? Is it for health or ethics?” Somehow, the answer matters, and depending on your answer, people respond differently. Join me as I discuss if our motivation to become vegan affects our dedication to remain vegan. I also share my opinion about people who identify as “plant-based” rather than “vegan.”

Thank you to listeners and to the American Anti-Vivisection Society (aavs.org) for their support of the podcast.

Your support makes all the difference.
