Down Your Throat - Vegan Advocacy

Here we have our second episode featuring my brother, Nathan. We talk about whether he should feel more concerned about animals, how to communicate with people effectively by acknowledging their narratives, and how Nathan doesn’t have to go vegan because really it’s all capitalism’s fault… or something like that. Intro Environmental vs. humanitarian arguments Types… Continue reading Nathan vs. Veganism Rd. 2: The Reduction of Suffering

Ethan and I worked together at a Japanese restaurant. The pay was poor and the job was dirty, but… they kept us drunk enough after the shift not to think about it. And anyways, it was fun. But it was not vegan. And neither is Ethan. What a monster. Cool guy, though. Check out his… Continue reading Ethan vs. Veganism: Discipline and Longevity

In this episode, we speak to my businesswoman friend Mansi. Mansi is a bundle of joyousness. She is always emanating positive energy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her become upset or speak rudely. She’s highly-intelligent and deeply compassionate in most areas of her life which is why it’s interesting that she chooses to kill… Continue reading Mansi vs. Veganism: Mageirocophobia

Despite all that, he pays for animals to be slaughtered so that he can experience chunks of their corpse’s flesh in his mouth.

My brother Nathan was easily my greatest inspiration as a young kid. I always thought he was the coolest, smartest, funniest person I knew. I would often mimic his actions completely– I’d play the same video games, make the same jokes, and wear the same Halloween costumes. I still think he’s one of the most… Continue reading Nathan vs. Veganism: The Consciousness Hierarchy
