[party in my plants] 198: Creating a Dinner Plate in Solidarity with BIPOC, Animals & the Environment (win x 3!) with Dr. Christopher Carter

Dr. Rev. Christopher Carter’s jaw-dropping impressiveness doesn’t stop at his credentials. I felt like I was in school during this interview because Christopher’s views, research, background and way of explaining Black veganism and cruelty-free eating was better than any binge-worthy docuseries I’ve ever come across during this pandemic season!    His passion for social justice, racial equality, food, animals and the environment made this such an incredibly energy-packed plant party. I loved his points about how vegan lifestyles that are self-centered don’t really bring the impact that they could have. He schooled me to the apple core. In our chat that I never wanted to end, Christopher explains how we can fill our grocery bags and load up our dinner plates in a way that doesn’t cause harm and is in solidarity with BIPOC people and their history. I mean, if you ever needed a powerful “WHY” to change your dietary lifestyle habits… this is it!    Press play to hear:  How we define Black veganism and why it’s a better approach It’s not about you: why veganism needs to be less self-centered What is cruelty-free eating? How factory farming hurts BIPOC people Why modern-day farming practices echo ethics exhibited during slavery  How to approach your meals from an anti-oppressive standpoint Why veganism has accessibility issues in America How veganism became so white   Links related to this episode: The full show notes with all the deets from this episode!
