Hey friends, welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite!

Today, we’re diving into a hot topic—is eating meat really bad for you and the planet? My guest, Jayne Buxton, is an investigative journalist and author of The Great Plant-Based Con, a book packed with research that challenges what we’ve been told about plant-based diets.

We get into nutrient deficiencies, the “vegan honeymoon” effect, and the real environmental impact of meat vs. plants. If you or someone you know is a vegetarian for health or ethical reasons, this is a must-listen!

We also talk about media myths, sustainability, and what most people don’t realize about modern farming. My goal isn’t to tell you what to eat—I just want you to have the right information to make the best choices for yourself.
