56. The Plant-Based Diet Con with Jayne Buxton

Are plant-based diet health claims immoral? Everyone has a right to eat whatever diet they choose without judgement. But today's guest, Jayne Buxton, has written a powerful book taking aim at 'plant based advocates' who push the idea that we should all reduce animal foods because it's better for our health and safer for the environment. Her latest book The Great Plant Based Con is a well researched and superbly written guide for anyone interested in the consequences of switching to plant based diets from health to climate change.
