259: Reducetarian: Save the Planet with Your Food Choices

Everyone is familiar with vegetarians, vegans, and macrobiotics... but what about reducetarians? This new movement focuses less on hard-line extremes, and instead, encourages any and all steps toward a healthier, happier, and more compassionate diet. As we always emphasize at YOGABODY, balance is always the goal, and it's also the most elusive. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll meet the founder of this reductionist approach to eating, Brian Kateman.

------------
Listen & Learn:

  • Why hard-line diets are not necessarily the right choice for everyone
  • How to think about food systems holistically in terms of personal health and environmental health
  • Why factory farms are responsible for 15% of greenhouse gases, 10x the amount of water as plant-based alternatives
  • How Average Americans eat 270 lbs of meat per year
  • Why "clean meat" or lab-grown meats could be the future of foods
