Really appreciated this episode. I never want to tell people that I'm vegan; when it inevitably comes out, I'm bombarded by people's assumptions about what I think, and why I eat the way I do. Meanwhile I'm sitting here thinking, "But aren't we on the same side? Don't we all recoil at animal cruelty and wish there was less of it?" I felt very seen during several points in this episode. So thanks to you and Annie for having the conversation.
This really changed my view, like how it was a realization for you on the approach of veganism. I also appreciated the presentation of the info. Awesome research and presentation.
I’ve been trying to make choices to refrain from
Meat when I can. Switching to vegan patties on burgers when I can or plant based alternatives. It does feel like tossing a penny into an ocean but as mentioned it does have an impact.
If you care about your slaves, but you don’t want to set them free because that would be inconvenient, how do you convince other people you are actually not such a bad guy after all?
If you eat animals, you do not care about animals. If you want to introduce more plants into your diet, good for you, but that is not veganism.
I’m not vegan or vegetarian anymore, but I eat very little animal food and I try my best to source it carefully. No supermarket fish or chicken. Very little in restaurants. I try to only buy from small producers in small amounts. Same with dairy. If everyone cut back a little and chose carefully I think it would really make a difference.
My husband wears hoodies all year 'round (we live in the always-cool SF Bay Area) and I got tired of seeing him in baggy ones with colors that faded after a few washes. I bought him one from American Giant (Classic Full Zip in Oxford Blue) and it's nice enough that I don't even mind him wearing it out to dinner or the theater. Yes, it was expensive, but it's so much nicer than any other hoodie he's ever owned that it was worth it.
Help! I can't find this: "Annie just went through what I jokingly called the animal Misery Olympics. Just going through like if you're gonna eat meat but you feel sort of bad, what's the least miserable meat you could eat? For instance, did you know some vegans actually make an exception and eat oysters? Since oysters don't have a central nervous system? Anyway, if you're curious, you can find that guide on our bonus feed, which is located at Search Engine dot show. We call it incognito mode. Go check it out." Can anyone share a link? thank you so much! <3
Long time listener, infrequent commentor. The end of this episode was disappointing. Or, perhaps, the middle was disappointing. Or, perhaps, the middle and the end were disconnected - two different shows. You open with "can i microdose veganism", then tell a few engaging (entertaining) stories about animal and animal conditions. Nothing at all about the options, choices, or even entertaining stories about people who had tried different approaches. And then the last two minutes the answer was "yes. you can microdose veganism. cut back on meat and dairy." What?!" I get the connection between the two - but they are two different stories. Please work on your endings (or your middles, or your connection between the middles and the ends). Thanks.
I grew up quite rural and really didn‘t find being vegetarian viable until I went to university, where the cantine offered ok vegetarian food.
I still lived at my parents‘ at the time and my mom loved cooking. First, I tried to tell her I really wanted to cut down meat significantly.
That didn‘t work out, it was incompatible with the way my mom‘s mind worked to eat little of anything.
So, to be able to cut down I basically had to declare to be a vegetarian (that was 1996)
I only became vegan last year, but the advantage of being just vegetarian is that its SOO much easier to explain than scaling every kind of food by its moral backpack.
I got a zip up hoodie as part of some company swag and like the material and fit so much I tracked down the original. Bella Canvas Mens 3739 Unisex Poly Cotton Fleece Full Zip Hoodie (is the amazon name)
Was it just me, or did y'all downplay the benefits of veganism and health? Like it can only be a moral argument, not a medical one?
I understand if that's the majority, or the cultural starting point or whatever. But I didn't catch a mention in the show. I think the evidence is quite strong that eating plants lowers disease risk and extends your life...like, it's so non-controversial that arguing against it makes you sound a little crazy.
Anyway, IMO another fine way to "microdose veganism" is that it can decrease your chance of dying
Call me basic, but I like Gap's hoodies, both pullover and zip. I just wish the zip choices had as much color variety as the pullover. I've grown more fond of bright colors (not sure what triggered that), and it seems nobody has zips in anything but muted tones (excepting white or red).
Their color variety of zip hoodies leaves something to be desired: red, navy, and 4 shades of graytones (which I'm including black). Plus a two-tone graytone!

Same same! I came to drop in the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiSkjcl9yW4
I came here to make the same reference.

Sorry, no hoody advice

I second American Giant. Currently in a classic full zip in black. Great quality

I like that, for some reason, "searchengine.show" links to Adam Sandler's comedy special on Netflix instead of the website.

I can't believe that I am holidaying in Amsterdam (from Ireland) in October and I arrive on the 3rd!!!! Can't wait for the show ✨

always a fan of la apparel (though I'm more of a pull over guy). it's nice to buy made in us clothing.
also welcome back!!
