What Happened To The Vegan Movement? Rich & Simon Hill On The Rise & Fall Of Plant-Based Eating
"I can cop to some culpability around that. I know that I have been reductive in my communication and I've also advocated on behalf of this lifestyle based upon my personal experience, like extrapolating from that, like I feel so much better, so then, you will too, without fully appreciating the fact that everybody kind of has a different physiology."
Podcast host Rich Roll takes personal responsibility for contributing to the plant-based movement's credibility crisis by oversimplifying nutrition science and extrapolating from his individual results to make universal claims. He acknowledges failing to appreciate individual physiological differences and admitting his communication lacked the nuance and transparency needed to maintain public trust.
