Food Ideology | Melanie Joy, PhD

In Episode #178, a condensed throwback to Episode #112, we hear from Harvard-trained psychologist Dr Melanie Joy about food ideology and speciesism.   This episode focuses on effectively communicating the message of following a plant-based lifestyle from a psychological perspective. Melanie shared her insights into cognitive dissonance, why people may react negatively to the plant-based message, and why the common arguments and approaches can push people in the opposite direction. If you want to know how to approach the topic of plant-based eating in a way that people will be receptive to, this is a great one to listen to.
