In general, like dr. Lisle’s approach of leading people to make choices and do so gradually if that fits them better.

I question his claim that there aren’t psychological factors related to eating. Personally, if stressed, I am less interested in food or if extremely stressed, don’t really feel like eating although I drink water, unsweetened tea, perhaps apple juice or orange juice. Other people I’ve known, when highly stressed, reach for food, usually sugary food. So, isn’t this a psychological affect on what he terms “the pleasure trap.”

This is a wonderful lecture. Bravo to D.Lisle for such valuable information on what we eat!

@catandthesun Agree with your comments, as do many experts in feline nutrition.

Most veterinarians do not recommend a vegan diet for cats. A diet high in grain based foods has been found not to be optimal for cats and can be detrimental. With diligent supplementation, there have been exceptions, but a vegan cat diet is not generally recommended.

@traceyeakin Dogs are actually TRUE omnivores, humans are behavioral omnivores but not physiological omnivores like dogs.

Best explanation of why we become overweight I’ve seen. Love the hand drawn slides. I went vegan 8 months ago and lost all the extra weight.
I don’t have cats but cats need different amino acids than we do but that doesn’t mean they need MEAT just that they need added amino acids. People have cats on vegan diets that are thriving.

fantastic!!!

@traceyeakin While you are 100% correct about a cat being an obligate carnivore, dogs are obligate omnivores, and like us, find pleasure in the taste of sweet carbohydrates(plant foods)

Please make this a podcast…it would be great to listen to on my daily long commute

I need to listen to this.

Overall, this is GREAT. Too bad the light pointer doesn’t register. I wish Doug could go back into the video and put a computer pointer on the slide to help describe what he’s talking about.

@WarnerRobins2 I have a vegan cat. 19 years old. still has little spurts where she runs through the house. And yes she has got some mice once and a while. She is happy and healthy.

@traceyeakin Dogs are not in fact obligate carnivores. Cats are. Know your science before you make a comment.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Lisle’s lecture. He is truly a thought leader that will undoubtedly bring much needed change. My only concern is that unlike humans, dogs and cats are obligate carnivores and a biologically appropriate diet for humans is not going to be biologically appropriate for these two other species. I am a devoted vegan but do not impose what is best for me on my pets.
