Veganism: Are you taking the blue pill or the red pill?

Veganism: Are you taking the blue pill or the red pill?

Listen to a reflection of over a month of living on a radical diet called veganism, an abstinence from consuming any animal products. I try to avoid virtue signaling here as I may not be vegan forever, in fact I may decide to go back to a regular meat eater diet tomorrow.


Instead, the episode aims to focus on why I decided to go vegan and outline the pros and cons of a vegan diet. If you take away nothing else, take away this: Drawing analogies from the ongoing shift from gas to electric vehicles, what if we can make veganism be so cheap, delicious, healthy, and convenient so that it makes more sense to be vegan than not to be? It's food for thought, literally! Take a listen.

Ben Avrahami

Ben Avrahami

Ben Avrahami is an Israeli Defense Forces veteran, bioinformatic specialist, and mentor for community college students. Ben was born in the land of Israel and at the age of twelve made his way to the Boston suburbs along with his family. What was supposed to just be a year or two long visit became long term as Ben eventually gained citizenship and found himself a second home. However, once turning of military age, Ben courageously decided to become a soldier for the Israeli Army, where after one year transitioned to become a medic inspiring him to a love of learning and academics. After coming back stateside, he decided to pursue his academic aspirations by enrolling at Massasoit Community College and the University of Massachusetts where he graduated with a degree in biology. Today he works in the same field while also giving back by mentoring younger community college students like his former self. Someday he hopes to set up a crowdfunded scholarship to empower first generation university students to succeed academically. Listen to Ben's journey and more in this episode.
