Ep. 55: Is Plant-Based a Superior Diet?

The Anti-Macro Podcast

Recently, ANOTHER Netflix documentary came out touting the benefits of a plant-based diet. But is a plant-based diet truly superior to an omnivore diet? Should you be cutting out animal meats and other products to pursue a healthier life? In this episode, I aim to separate fact from entertainment and fear mongering, explore the environmental impact of food production as well as the socioeconomic factors of dietary preferences, and provide you adequate guidance on determining whether or not a plant-based diet style is the right diet style for you and how to approach it properly. Let’s dive in.
