We discuss Anne’s new children’s book, Eating to Save the Planet: How Veganism Helps Fight Climate Change.

We also explore how Anne’s Cherokee heritage and commitment to diversity shape her writing, why kids need books that act as “windows and mirrors,” and how young readers (and the rest of us) can take climate action through our food choices.

From sobering stats to inspiring stories, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in raising the next generation of compassionate change-makers, without being, as Anne says, a “vegeterrible.”

Iain Tolhurst is a pioneer of stock-free organic farming who’s been growing vegetables for nearly 40 years without a single animal input. No manure, no bone meal, no grazing animals—just thriving soil, rich biodiversity, and 120 tons of vegetables per year.

You’ll learn how this groundbreaking system works, why it’s more climate-resilient than conventional or even organic farming, and what it means for the future of food.

Whether you’re passionate about sustainability, food justice, or simply want to know where your veggies come from, this conversation will shift your perspective on farming, animals, and what’s possible for our planet.

Is “ethical meat” just a comforting bedtime story for omnivores?

Philosopher and author John Sanbonmatsu joins me to unpack the myths that keep animal exploitation hidden in plain sight — from the illusion of “humane” farming to the deep cultural stories we tell ourselves to feel morally innocent.

Drawing from his new book The Omnivore’s Deception, John explores why confronting speciesism, and the civilizational systems built on it, is essential not just for animals, but for the future of life on Earth. This is a thought-provoking, no-B.S. conversation that doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable realities.
