Veganism, me, you, and the Universe
The world is complex, and veganism has grown both as a social movement and a dietary choice. Veganism is massive a many-sided topic. Animal rights, the environment and health are the key benefits. But how do we link these? When are we harmonious, and when are we conflicted internally and with those around us? As a physician I mostly teach about technical aspects of the vegan diet. But let’s talk about a holistic and long term view about being vegan in a troubled world. Let’s think about our our own dogmas, and of how we can become stronger in our own understanding, mental state, and communication. This will be a great talk to have both dedicated activists, chefs, businesses, and the general public together in one space!

The Earth is Burning - The Global Environmental Impact of Animal Agriculture
We are exposed to increasing information about the environmental benefits of plant based foods, as well as contradictory messages. In this lecture, we will review the fundamental reasons why animal agriculture has a detrimental impact, and the science that quantifies the impact. Climate change, biodiversity loss, food security and other key parameters will be reviewed, including recent literature from the UNEPA and Lancet journal which is revolutionizing the worldwide discussion.
