Lierre Keith believed in a plant-based diet and spent twenty years as a vegan. But in her book, The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that we’ve been led astray—not by our longings for a just and sustainable world, but by our ignorance. She explains to Kellie that the truth is agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet, and more of the same won’t save us. In service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct and endangered other species, altered the climate through global warming, and destroyed the topsoil—the basis of life itself. Kellie and Lierre will discuss the steps necessary to save the planet and maintain a healthy diet - our food must be an act of profound and abiding repair: it must come from inside living communities, not be imposed across them.
