In Episode 3, Kel explains the experiences and information that has led her to eat a plant-based diet, including her love of animals, overconsumption of animal products in everyday diets, and environmental concerns. Tegan poses the question what would happen if the whole world stopped eating animal products and discusses the role humans, as apex predators, have to play keeping ecosystems in balance. We discuss live export in Australia and the many factors involved. Untangling the decision to participate or to ban this market is far from straight-forward.
