Drawing from his new book The Omnivore’s Deception, John explores why confronting speciesism, and the civilizational systems built on it, is essential not just for animals, but for the future of life on

No-Bullsh!t Vegan ·

2025/04/29

In this episode, I’m diving into why fitness and veganism aren’t just personal choices—they’re political whether we realize it or not. Based on a recent article I wrote, I’m exploring how things like race, class, and ability shape who gets access to fitness and plant-based foods, and why pretending otherwise is itself a political act. This episode was sparked by a podcast review I received telling me I should keep social commentary and political opinion out of my show. So, naturally, I decided to
