About this episode
In our final episode of Season One, we’re joined by John Lewis, aka Badass Vegan. John’s upcoming documentary, They’re Trying to Kill Us , touches on so many of the issues that we’ve looked at this year on the podcast – factory farming, race and Big Pharma, just to name a few – but this time through the unique lens of hip hop. They’re Trying to Kill Us explores the connections between diet, poverty and systemic racism. As well as looking at veganism, we discuss Big Pharma and the link between mind and body. John’s life is literally the material for a great movie, as we found out recently when we joined John from his home in Wilmington, North Carolina. “I don’t think we can wait for the governments and the rich to make a change. We have to make the change ourselves.” – John Lewis
