    In our final episode of Season One, we're joined by John Lewis, aka Badass Vegan. John's upcoming doc, They're Trying to Kill Us, touches on so many of the issues that we've looked at this year on the podcast - factory farming, race and Big Pharma, just to name a few - but through the unique lens of hip hop.
    They’re Trying to Kill Us explores the connections between diet, poverty and systemic racism. As well as looking at veganism, we discuss Big Pharma and the link between mind and body.
    John's life is literally the material for a great movie, as we found out recently when we joined John from his home in Wilmington, North Carolina.

    So glad this movie was made and available to view free online for the entire month of February in honor of Black History Month (in the USA).
    It should be said that veganism is NOT a diet. The word "vegan" was coined by members of the Vegan Society (UK) in the late 1940s and was heavily influenced by Albert Schweitzer's writings on Reverence for Life. The definition still stands today and is as follows:
    "Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence and compassion for all life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals.
    Veganism remembers man's responsibilities to the earth and its resources and seeks to bring about a healthy soil and plant kingdom and a proper use of the materials of the earth."

      Politics are opposite sides of the same coin and a way to keep people divided instead of working together for the greater good. What matters here is taking personal responsibility and accountability and not looking outside yourself for a savior or for someone to fix things for you.
