Episode 20: Ask Pat - Round 1
"Is a plant-based diet extreme?... Over 600,000 Americans each year will choose to have their chest cut open, instead of changing what they eat... that's extreme."
-Pat McAuley
On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I address the most common questions I receive from listeners with regard to living a plant-based or vegan lifestyle. The questions I answer are:
Where do you get your protein?
Aren't I going to be deficient in things like iron?
What the hell do you eat?
Isn't eating plant-based expensive?
It's impossible to stick with it while traveling right?
My meat-eating, stogie-smoking, bud light-drinking grandpa is alive and kicking at 90, how do you explain that?
Don't you think a plant-based diet is a little extreme?
How could I ever give up burgers and cheese?
