“It’s always an empty boat. There’s nothing personal, ever.” Of course we all want world peace – so how the heck did we end up with a food system that’s premised on violence against non-human animals? Dr. Will Tuttle explores these and related issues in his epic book The World Peace Diet, which I consider my personal vegan bible. In this revelatory interview, this former Zen monk gives us his inside scoop on intuitive understanding, the world of academia, and the fascinating personal history that led him to become a full-time advocate for non-human animals. Don’t miss this wildest of rides inside the head and heart of a leading revolutionary thinker, feeler, and visionary of our times.
And even BETTER…
Dr. Will Tuttle will be giving an in-person talk in Nashville on Thursday, March 23, 2023, 6:00 p.m. at Sunflower Cafe! Come one, come all, and bring your omnivore friends for an evening of fun, fellowship, Sunflower’s delicious vegan food, and plenty of food for thought!
