  • Problematic take

    Love this podcast but Dr Shaws comment on veganism was both factually incorrect and problematic - wish there had been some pushback on that. Going vegan is the most powerful thing anyone can do for climate change and is an ethical necessity. You are not living an ethical life if you are not vegan.

    These guys even have an episode on how to deal with the “climate anxiety" they are causing. I should do a show about these guys and their ilk.
