Come along as we explore the environmental impact of going vegan, from carbon emissions and water use to the surprising footprint behind foods like avocados and mushrooms.

We also share our real-life experiences trying vegan dishes at local spots — The Fix, Tree Hugger, Waldo Pizza, and even Joe’s KC BBQ — and what happened when we pushed ourselves to rethink “normal” meals. Spoiler: We tried a lot of awesome food!

Whether you’re vegan, veg-curious, or simply want to make more earth-friendly choices, this conversation is packed with insights, laughs, and simple ways to get started without going all-in.
