Stephen Fry travels into the most remarkable place we know - our brain. The organ of knowledge and the one we know least about. Over 12 episodes Stephen explores just how much we’ve learned about this mysterious structure in recent years and tries to answer some of the most difficult questions that remain. To do this, we relay the discoveries and stories of neuroscientists, psychologists, anthropologists and even philosophers, to add illumination and perspective as we travel. Each episode will be full of brainy stories: some shocking, some thrilling, some scarcely believable.

Across 12 episodes, in this sequel to his Victorian Secrets, Stephen Fry uncovers some of the startling and unexpected hidden histories of the Edwardians.

Complete waste of time
This podcast completely misrepresents the vegan v meat eater debate. Obviously there are ways of producing food that comes from plants or animals in ways that are more or less harmful to the environment. As she stated, we do not need to eat animals to be healthy. How can you justify taking the life of a sentient being out of absolutely no necessity? How can you then claim that killing an animal is ethical or moral?

Excellent food for thought!
In the past five years, I've been vegetarian, vegan(ish), and a meat-eater. At every junction, I've tried my best to process the complicated feelings I have about the way I—and the rest of the world—consume meat and dairy, and all the things that influence our choices. This podcast interrogates every one of these influences from culture, to sustainability, to health and nutrition, to animal cruelty in a thoughtful, practical, and judgement-free way. I appreciate the care and research that went into every episode and though I still haven't decided where I land within the meat-eating debate, this podcast has reminded me why it's such a personal and incredibly complex decision. Highly recommend!

I was expecting different
I was so excited to listen to this podcast hoping it would share some unbias science of the vegan debate, but it was a lot of people's opinions. the performance was fine, it dragged a bit sometimes, and often it would pause for that but too long where you check your phone to see if the app is even working still. Not my favourite, but I finished hoping it would give me some deeper insights, but really just kind of covered off all the opinions and things you'd know already if you were interested in this topic. Might be interesting for people who are new to the debate. Just for me, personally, I was wishing for a little more to chew on.

Omnivore is not Carnivore
So many issues with the way it was presented... it had vegan bias disguised as neutral, could have gone way more into the actual facts of Carnivore and done some personal research not just believe what the vegan people said.
It had so much potential but missed the target by a long way... Everything was based on the methane gas 'fact', but it's unsustainable farming that is the problem!

Vegetarian propaganda
This is a vegetarian propaganda podcast in disguise, sneakily, under the disguise of objectivity, trying to promote the idea that eating meat is bad for the planet. Nothing is further from truth.
Animals coevolved with humans and in agriculture they regenerate the soil. Cattle is carbon negative, if grass fed.
Regardless, meat is the most nutrient dense superfood there is and the one we evolved to eat.
Read Weston A. Price’s groundbreaking book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, to see how traditional humans ate and how healthy this food made them, and what happened if they started incorporating the food of modern commerce. Read Stefensson’s Not by Bread Alone ( The Fat of the Land) to see that a person can be healthy and well on meat and fat alone, moreover, cure from ailments that way. Please educate yourself and don’t give up to the vegetarian propaganda!

Educate yourself and grow
This podcast is a great way of educating yourself about the pros and cons of agriculture and the meat industry. It's presented in a simple, unbiased way that gives everyone (carnivores and vegans) a chance to present their way of living and eating. By doing so it allows you to choose your path and learn that not everything (including food) is black and white. Thank you, Rachel!

Really prompted discussion
This was even better than I hoped it would be. They presented all sides of the argument equally but without being preachy. It went a lot deeper than "is killing animals bad?" or "are you helping save the planet?" It answered some questions I have and left me with new questions and things to look into. It wrapped up without telling you what the right answer is, leaving space for each person to choose for themselves.

Thought provoking
interesting to hear the different views from all sides. Personally I think we need to simplify our existence on this planet on the whole. Money rules the world unfortunately and it wont be easy. We are just one animal out of billions of organisms on this planet, yet we are the most destructive of all. Something makes me think we are deluded calling others vermin or plagues when we ourselves should have those titles. Nature works in cycles and one day she will get us back epicly, that is excluding the natural disasters etc she's thrown at us so far.

There was some interesting information
but a lot of the best arguments countering the assertions of veganism were not even touched upon. I would describe it as a half-baked apologia pro vita suidae.
A lot of the reports were anecdotal, boring and repetitive and the signal to noise ratio could have been significantly improved.
We never really got to the bottom of why monocropping wheat is bad for the natural environment. How wheat itself has turned into a harmful thing. The value of Keto, the difficulty of doing keto on a vegan diet. The problem of essential amino acids. The impossibility of doing organic farming without animals as artificial fertilisers are essential. The need for low tillage, more earthworms, proper dressings, lower agrochemicals, better cover crops and management, the economic issues over the rigid doctrinaire approach of organic and how something called biological farming developed by someone called Gary Zimmer in America is the likely thought leader going forward to give us the 80:20 middle ground and not some unknown New Zealander who is going to write a book but has never actually read one, by his own admission.
Yes, there were some good bits, but I was hoping it was going to be the carnivorous raptor act that doctrinal Veganism richly deserves. It wasn't.
Neither did it address much the issue that if we are going to be using biomass for ethanol there really isn't space to make food for 10 billion people whichever way, and if we make food for 10 billion, then when the famine hits at 15 billion will the Vegans want to take responsibility for 10 billion starvation deaths?
There are plenty more themes this could have explored. It needed to get into debate and not have everyone pretending to be at some vague consensus.

Quite Biased
At least until episode 3, the podcast is quite biased towards justifying meat eating. In some points there is a debate and shows opinions on both sides, but justifying meat eating takes most of the time. In a full episode about hunting only hunters are heard, and there is only a brief mention of how hunting is not a scalable solution for the society as a whole

Very Thought Provoking
As a Vegan I thought I had all the answers but Rachel raises a number of alternative answers to the eco-disaster that is the meal and dairy industry. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, omni or just plain carnivorous, you'll benefit from listening to this thought provoking blog.

so worth hearing
Open-minded, well researched, so interesting, so much more to think about than we hear from the loudest voices. As a doctor I have seen too many unwell vegans, but as someone who has cared about the environment for 50 years(yes there are many of us older people who have!) I am very concerned about animal husbandry and food miles, the latter being a big issue even for virtuous vegans. Rachel Khoo is very personable, a great interviewer and presenter, able to voice certainly my dilemmas on this subject, and I was also influenced by a wonderful grandma! I especially loved the Maori farmer.

A balanced dive into the world of food....
Thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish. we have become so used to be being food shamed (meat = murder) and it was refreshing to hear food being discussed in a open, non judgemental way. It has given me lots to look up and think about, and it has given me the confidence to start dialogues around what my friends eat, without judgement.
