Ep166. We eat pigs, so why not dogs? With Molly Elwood
The Simply Vegan podcast is your weekly dose of plant-based food, news and topical chat with Vegan Food & Living's Holly Johnson and Molly Pickering.In today's episode, we chat to dog meat farmer Molly Elwood from Elwood's Organic Dog Meat. 'Pups and dogs are humanely slaughtered and available by the cut, quarter, half, or whole animal,' says her website. Why do we find this shocking, or uncomfortable? We discuss cognitive dissonance, the online hate Molly receives, her experience of doing dog meat tastings in London and whether there really is a difference between pigs and dogs.Notes from today's episode and ways to support us:• Find out more about Elwood's Organic Dog Meat at elwooddogmeat.com/resources• Become a friend of the show at patreon.com/simplyvegan and access exclusive episodes, video content, live chats and free downloads!• Tag us in your social posts, @veganfoodandliving and @simplyveganpodcast• Share this episode with a friend• Try an issue of Vegan Food and Living magazine for just 99p at veganfoodandliving.com/podcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
