Today’s episode is framed around a conversation I had with a non-vegan German (who lives in the U.S.), who was not only doubtful we’d be able to eat while visiting southern Germany (as vegans) but who also lamented that we would be “missing out” on the traditions of this country. I assured him that when you look through the meat-eating lens, you see only meat and when you look through the vegan lens you see options you wouldn’t have been looking for otherwise. I assured him we’d be fine. I assured him there are higher principles than eating animal-based sausage. But I said all that before we left for our trip. Listen to today’s podcast episode to see if I was right.
