Explosive Diarrhea and the Vegan Delusion

Veggie lovers took an abrupt halt from consuming iceberg lettuce due to an outbreak of Cyclospora — a microscopic parasite — that has caused explosive diarrhea for over a thousand people across the country. The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay discuss the unfortunate lettuce recall and make the case that being a vegan or a vegetarian doesn’t make one healthier. They explain how class politics tie into food consumption and point out the nutritional deficiencies of vegetarians. Scott and Melissa bring down the moral high ground of vegetarians by debunking various claims about cow methane, sugar, and meat. Tune in to hear their discussion!
