Is Veganism the Missing Link to World Peace?

About this episode

What if the way we eat is directly shaping the future of humanity? In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the Plant Based Support Podcast, Dr. Niki Davis sits down with Dr. Will Tuttle, author of The World Peace Diet, to explore a bold idea: that veganism is not just about food, but about consciousness, compassion, and cultural transformation. Dr. Tuttle shares his journey from a meat-eating childhood to becoming a Zen monk and global advocate for plant-based living. He challenges modern food culture, discusses the spiritual roots of veganism, and explains why real change begins within. Topics discussed include• The spiritual foundation of veganism• Why modern veganism may be losing its nutritional high ground• The three stages of becoming vegan• Deep veganism vs angry veganism• Grassroots change vs corporate plant-based trends• How food systems shape culture, health, and peace This conversation goes beyond nutrition. It questions power, systems, and the normalization of violence in our food supply. If you care about plant-based health, sustainability, animal welfare, climate change, and conscious living, this episode will expand your perspective.
