People become vegetarians for many different reasons surrounding animal welfare, moral and political issues, the environment and because they believe they are bettering their health. Lierre Keith adopted veganism in her teens for all these reasons and maintained this way of life for 20 years until the day her health collapsed from under her. She began a more in-depth and honest exploration of the truths behind everything she had come to believe about the vegetarian way of life and realized that literally none of it was what she thought. 

Nora welcomes the author of “The Vegetarian Myth”, Lierre Keith to the show to share her journey and a message that everyone who cares about their health—and the health of the environment needs to hear. You will never think of vegetarianism the same way again.
