Episode 9: Is Veganism Inaccessible?

Not everyone can go vegan. But if you have the means and ability to go vegan, you most definitely should. Vegan activist Abdourahamane Ly joins Alisha to educate listeners about food insecurity, why it disproportionately affects people of color, and how adopting a plant-based diet is the easiest thing you can do to help transition our food system into a more just and sustainable one. Ly also addresses privileged non-vegans who use the issues of poverty and food insecurity to justify eating animal products instead of looking at the bigger picture.
