I sit down with policy researcher and lifelong vegetarian Nandita Srivastava to break down the hidden climate cost of meat — including why livestock methane is up to 80x more warming than CO2, and why India has one of the highest vegetarian rates in the world.

Nandita grew up vegetarian in India and later worked on international food systems and climate change projects across Asia and Africa. In this episode of the Climate Diet Podcast, we dig into the real data behind animal agriculture and climate change, the sneaky role food waste plays in methane emissions, and why sustainable eating doesn't have to mean giving up flavor — or your morning coffee.

🎧 WHAT WE COVER ✅ Nandita's vegetarian origin story growing up in India ✅ Why India has one of the highest vegetarian rates on Earth ✅ The staggering number of animals slaughtered for food every single day ✅ Methane vs. CO2: why livestock emissions matter more than you think ✅ How food loss and food waste quietly fuel climate change ✅ Simple, doable food swaps that actually cut your carbon footprint ✅ Why plant-based eating is also a personal health choice ✅ Climate Diet's Meat Down Pledge and Power of Food school program

At his heaviest, Chuck was eating 10,000 calories a day, half of it from a nightly run to Taco Bell. In this episode he opens up about the gastric bypass surgery that saved his life in 2009, why he believes food is more addictive than nicotine, the study showing your brain lights up the same way for a donut as it does for cocaine, how a plant-based diet helped him keep the weight off for over a decade, and the terrifying mystery illness that forced him to have his bypass surgery reversed earlier this year.

If you've ever struggled with food addiction, emotional eating, yo-yo dieting, or you just need proof that it's never too late to turn your health around — this conversation is for you.

* Growing up on fast food and how it turned into a 10,000-calorie-a-day addiction * Hitting 420 lbs by his mid-20s and the chest pains that scared him into change * The gastric bypass surgery that changed everything in 2009 * Why he compares quitting Taco Bell to quitting nicotine — and says food is worse * The "bliss point": how food companies engineer cravings to mimic cocaine in the brain * Discovering plant-based eating through WWE wrestler Austin Aries * The documentaries that changed his life: What The Health, Food Inc., and The Game Changers * Building The Exam Room into one of the biggest nutrition podcasts in the world * His mystery illness, the Mayo Clinic diagnosis, and reversing his gastric bypass in 2026 * Daily habits: morning sunlight, gut health, and his go-to healthy "splurge" Why the plant-based community can be its own worst enemy

I'm Jane DeMarines, founder and executive director of Climate Diet, and in this episode I sit down with Victoria Moran — bestselling author of 14 books, founder of Main Street Vegan Academy, and one of VegNews' Top 10 Living Vegetarian Authors — to talk about the real link between what's on our plates and the climate crisis.

We get into the climate data behind animal agriculture and greenhouse gas emissions, why the word "vegan" still scares people away from plant-based eating (and what to say instead), the surprising blind-taste-test bias that proves plant-based food already tastes just as good as meat, the truth about vegan protein, and the strategy Victoria calls "attraction activism" — living in a way that draws people toward veganism instead of pushing them away.

Whether you're vegan-curious, already plant-based, or just here for the climate science, this conversation will change how you think about your next meal — and your carbon footprint.

In this episode, host Erin DeMarines sits down with Dr. Sandra Farach (aka "The Plantiful Surgeon"), a Tampa-based trauma surgeon, to talk about the factory farming footage that changed her life, the biggest protein myths doctors still believe, and what it's really like pushing plant-based options inside a hospital.

Growing up in a Cuban household built around meat-heavy dishes like picadillo and ropa vieja, Dr. Farach never questioned where her food came from — until she stumbled on factory farming videos during her medical residency. She quit meat cold turkey that day and has been whole-food plant-based ever since.

In this conversation, Erin and Dr. Farach get into: - The video that made her go vegan overnight — and why she couldn't unsee it - How her Cuban family reacted, and how their diet has changed since - What it's like being a plant-based trauma surgeon in a hospital full of meat-eaters - Her "Chief Talk" on plant-based nutrition to an entire Department of Surgery, using Dr. Dean Ornish's research on reversing heart disease - Why medical schools barely teach nutrition, and the rise of lifestyle medicine and obesity medicine as new specialties - The truth about the "where do you get your protein?" question (hint: where do cows and elephants get theirs?) - Why studies show plant-based meat is actually healthier than regular processed meat - Carnivore diet trends, social media misinformation, and separating fact from fear - What vegan food in a hospital cafeteria actually looks like - Vegan-friendly restaurants in Tampa — including a surprising steakhouse

Whether you're plant-based, vegan-curious, or just skeptical, this episode is packed with real data, real hospital stories, and a doctor's-eye view of why plant-based living matters for your health, animals, and the planet.

In this conversation, Erin and Dr. Farach get into: - The video that made her go vegan overnight — and why she couldn’t unsee it - How her Cuban family reacted, and how their diet has changed since - What it’s like being a plant-based trauma surgeon in a hospital full of meat-eaters - Her ”Chief Talk” on plant-based nutrition to an entire Department of Surgery, using Dr. Dean Ornish’s research on reversing heart disease - Why medical schools barely teach nutrition, and the rise of lifestyle medicine and obesity medicine as new specialties - The truth about the ”where do you get your protein?” question (hint: where do cows and elephants get theirs?) - Why studies show plant-based meat is actually healthier than regular processed meat - Carnivore diet trends, social media misinformation, and separating fact from fear - What vegan food in a hospital cafeteria actually looks like - Vegan-friendly restaurants in Tampa — including a surprising steakhouse Whether you’re plant-based, vegan-curious, or just skeptical, this episode is packed with real data, real hospital stories, and a doctor’s-eye view of why plant-based living matters for your health, animals, and the planet.

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Sailesh Rao (Climate Healers) to unpack how the food on our plates is driving the climate crisis — and how a plant-based diet could heal the planet.

Dr. Sailesh Rao is a Stanford-trained systems engineer turned climate activist, founder of Climate Healers, and author of the Planet B books. He's worked on the documentaries Cowspiracy, What the Health, and A Prayer for Compassion. In this conversation we go deep on why animal agriculture deserves far more attention in the climate conversation than it gets — and what every one of us can actually do about it.

We talk about the staggering inefficiency of our food system: animals eat 5x as much food as humans, 87% of the world's farmland is used for animal agriculture yet it produces only a fraction of our calories, and how shifting to plant-based eating could reverse biodiversity loss, chemical pollution, and climate change all at once. Dr. Rao breaks down the 7 planetary boundaries, why healthy food should be a basic human right, and how his community food project in Washington State is feeding people whole-food plant-based meals for free.

And don't miss the moment that changed everything for him — the "pinky promise" he made to his 5-year-old granddaughter that the world would go vegan, and why she told him "do your job." It's one of the most moving stories we've ever shared on this podcast.

Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, plant-curious, or just trying to understand the real link between food and climate change, this episode will shift how you see your next meal. 🌱

In this episode of Climate & Cuisine, hosted by Jane DeMarines, we’re joined by Sarah Kogel-Smucker, Montgomery County’s Climate Change Officer, to explore how communities can lead the fight against climate change—starting with policy, resilience planning, and what’s on our plates.

🌍 In this conversation, we discuss:

How Montgomery County aims to cut emissions 80% by 2027 and reach net-zero by 2035

Why local governments are critical climate leaders

The role of food systems in climate mitigation and resilience

How plant-forward eating reduces emissions and supports public health

Michael shares the behind-the-scenes realities of navigating economic disruption in the Washington, DC area—from widespread job losses and neighborhood restaurant closures to the difficult decision to sublease part of his restaurant space in order to protect the long-term health of the business. Rather than retreat, Michael explains how his team strategically adapted: shrinking their footprint, expanding catering and events, welcoming aligned partners into their space, and doubling down on wellness-centered offerings.

The conversation traces the evolution of DC Vegan Catering, founded in 2015 as a sister company to Cleveland Vegan, and explores how plant-based catering became a powerful entry point for climate-friendly food in a city that once lacked vegan options. Michael also reflects on transitioning from the music industry into food, surviving the pandemic’s impact on live events, and rebuilding with a diversified, values-driven business model.

Jane and Michael dive deep into why plant-based food is one of the most effective tools for climate action, how approachable comfort food helps normalize vegan dining for non-vegans, and the challenges posed by industry lobbying, food myths, and limited infrastructure for waste reduction. Michael explains how taste, convenience, and inclusivity—not perfection—are key to shifting food culture.

🌱 In this episode, you’ll learn:

How plant-based businesses can adapt during economic downturns

Why catering is a powerful gateway to climate-friendly eating

How vegan comfort food changes minds faster than lectures

The environmental and health case for plant-based dining

Why younger generations are driving real change through food choices

This episode is a must-listen for food entrepreneurs, climate advocates, and anyone curious about how resilience, creativity, and plant-based choices can help build a more sustainable—and delicious—future.

In this eye-opening episode, we delve into the critical link between the US agri-food system, human health, and our planet. Dr. Pryor shares her groundbreaking research on how high rates of red and processed meat consumption drive both climate change and diet-related chronic diseases.

Discover why focusing on reducing beef consumption offers a "win-win potential" for climate and health, especially in the US. We explore the challenges and motivations behind dietary changes, discussing how different demographics, particularly young people, are driven by the climate impact of their food choices.

Learn about the shift from a "loss framing" to an "asset framing" when it comes to plant-based diets, highlighting their immense benefits rather than focusing on what's being taken away. We also address common barriers to plant-based eating—cost, taste, and availability—and challenge persistent myths.

Hear inspiring stories like New York City Mayor Eric Adams' journey to health through plant-based eating and its impact on public hospitals. Plus, get insights into the crucial role of motivated leaders and policymakers in recognizing food as a powerful climate action.

Dr. Pryor discusses promising trends, including the recent Rutgers survey revealing that nearly half of respondents plan to reduce meat consumption, and the forward steps taken by the USDA's dietary guidelines in classifying plant proteins. We also touch upon the increased accessibility of climate change information through social media and news, making its impact more real for everyone.

The main takeaway? The majority of people care about climate change, but many don't know the powerful connection between food and climate. This episode is a call to action: let's talk about it, learn about it, and build a sense of community around climate action through food.
