Episode What Happened To The Vegan Movement? Rich & Simon Hill On The Rise & Fall Of Plant-Based Eating

0:00 1:16:47

By 2020, veganism wasn't a fringe choice. It was mainstream. A few years later, the momentum faded. So what happened?

I sit down with nutrition scientist Simon Hill for an honest autopsy – the overhyped meat alternatives, the broken trust around health claims, the sanctimony that turned people off, and how eating plants got tangled up with politics and masculinity. I cop to my own part in it too.

No dogma. No purity tests. Just a reckoning, and a saner way forward. Enjoy.
