a conversation about veganism, straightedge culture and more

This week on Little Miss, I’m joined by a guest who has lived the majority of his adult life as a vegan. Among other questions I ask him about how he has maintained that lifestyle and found balance among meat-eaters in this current age. We discuss the unnecessary society perceived connection between not eating meat and being “less of a man.” We also get into his past living by the philosophy of straightedge punk—and what path he has now carved as an adult and his thoughts on complete sobriety now. Finally, we end it on what it’s like being an extrovert and the yin/yang balance of marrying someone more introverted than him. From hardcore shows and identity politics to plant-based living and navigating personality differences in relationships—this conversation has range, insight, and hopefully relatability.
