Episode 6: Can You Eat the Rich as a Vegan?
Can you really eat the rich on a vegan diet? Absolutely. On this episode, anti-oppression activist Iye Loves Life discusses the meaning of collective liberation, why no beings are truly liberated under capitalism, and how vegans can play a role in dismantling oppression that is inevitably born out of capitalism. She also addresses the need for vegans to speak out on issues of environmental racism and food injustice in order to make veganism an inclusive and radical political movement.
