Ex-Vegans — Why People Stop Being Vegan (REBROADCAST)
Listen now
Description
Ex-Vegan celebrities 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.
