“Hi Kate,
I had a dog who lived with me for about 13 years and her death was so devastating for me. Over her body I promised to her I would not eat no animals from that moment forward and I kept my promise for 10 years.
When the pandemic hit I was really prepelexed how a respiratory virus could have such an impact to some and why some of us are so vulnerable and some not. I thought with myself this difference must have a very clear and obvious underlying reason. Parallel to this line of thinking I was researching blood clots and heart attacks for some personal reason and I stumbled on a podcast that turned my world upside down.
Everything I thought I knew was challenged from the moment I knew Ancel Keys and his seven countries study is absolutely garbage. And my journey began from there.
When I heard your episode in Death in the garden and your viewpoint about cyclicality of life and death, I felt you are in peace with this matter. Your deep knowledge and calmness really got to me and I started listening to all of The Groundwork, although still can not comprehend how you are able to kill an animal.
Episodes I really enjoyed and learned from:
A curious journey to the mineral matrix with Hamid Jabbar
Reciprocal living with Shele Jessie
Carnivore-ish with Beth Lipton”
