Lierre Keith went from a diehard vegan to enthusiastic omnivore
Walk up to your average Joe on the street and ask him what the “healthy” way to eat is and he’ll likely tell you that it includes a diet full of lots of fruits and vegetables. You might even hear people respond that vegetarianism or being a meatless vegan is the optimal way to eat for your health, improve the environment, and show your care and concern for animals. We’ve heard these arguments made by the fundamental and radical end of the vegetarian movement, but are they valid? Today’s podcast interview guest knows firsthand how falling for the myth of the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle can quite literally ruin your life.
In Episode 334 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we hear from a former 20-year vegan named Lierre Keith who has one of the most compelling stories of nutritional transformation you will ever hear in your life! After many years of devoting her entire life to being a bleeding heart vegan, she began a long journey of education and transformation in her own mind that the way she was living was the exact opposite of what she needed to be doing. Her passion today is in helping give hope and inspiration to those who are still caught up in the vegetarian lie and she outlines a compelling case in her book The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability. Her mission is to offer a non-threatening challenge to everything vegetarians and vegans thought they believed about their chosen way of eating.
Listen to Lierre Keith tell us about why she became a vegan to begin with, how veganism ruined her health and nearly killed her, the negative health impact of consuming soy, what it was that convinced her she was wrong about meat-eating, the positive concept of death that is involved in the making of all food including fruits and vegetables, what meat she ate to end her veganism, how the Weston A. Price Foundation taught her the proper kinds of foods to consume, the impact of Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions on her philosophical change of mind, her response to Dr. T. Colin Campbell’s The China Study book, why she decided to write her own book, the shortcomings of factory farming, how grains are destructive to the planet, why hunter-gatherers were the perfect picture of health, why those behind the Eco-Atkins movement are so misinformed about soy foods, and how the vegetarian/vegan community has responded to the message of her book. This was one of the most fascinating conversations I’ve ever had in the more than three-year history of this podcast show and you owe it to yourself and every vegetarian and vegan you know to have them listen to this interview! It will be well worth the one-hour investment to hear it from start to finish.

GOOD NEWS! For those of you who have been e-mailing me about accessing past podcast interviews, we are excited to let you know they are back online again. Shortly after our 200th episode in mid-2009, we had a complete server meltdown at our podcast web site and have since reposted most of our back episodes. But a few have still missing and some even lack the proper show notes. Due to popular public demand, we are now making available the audio of the episodes we haven’t yet had a chance to formally republish. This “Archive” section is where you can get them until we are able to republish these episodes. Once they are reposted, the audio link to the MP3 will be removed from the “Archive” page and become searchable via the search box near the top of each page. Thank you for all of your wonderful support of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show!”
