The Rich Roll Podcast · What Happened To The Vegan Movement? Rich & Simon Hill On The Rise & Fall Of Plant-Based Eating · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

So simplifying the message is an easy thing for people.

I also think that there's a level of humility that's required here that just says, look, nutrition science can tell us a lot and we get typical results, average results, but at an individual level,

I don't know if a vegan diet works for absolutely everyone, if 100% plant-based works for absolutely everyone.

And we can communicate what the science shows in terms of average typical results, but ultimately we shouldn't have someone feel guilty or shameful if they weren't able to get there and they feel better on a plant-predominant diet, for example.

And so I think some of the...

the communication around absolutes rather than kind of meeting people where they're at and encouraging people to to add more fiber more plants to the diet and find a way of eating that is sustainable while at the same time being better from an animal welfare perspective gentler on the planet uh i feel like that is more empathetic and would be better received by a population yeah

I think that's an important share.

And I think we can all get excited by how our N equals one experience and want to share it.

And the intent is good.

And by the way, that's the same thing that can occur when someone eats a carnival diet or a keto diet and they jump on the internet.

And they're enthusiastic and sharing about their experience and the results they had in the short term.

And so at the same time, that also...

leaves me feeling kind of understanding and empathetic of that individual and what might promote someone to go online.

And the difference between these different types of anecdotes, I bring it back to the overwhelming body of evidence, which is that- That's why you're here.

The dietary patterns, there are anecdotes everywhere we can pull and there's enthusiasm everywhere.

And I think that's great because underneath that is people wanting to share because they want others to get the benefits they felt.

The evidence base tells us that consistently the people that are doing best over decades are people that are eating these high fiber plant predominant style diets that are lower in saturated fats and lower in ultra processed foods.

Totally.

I also think from my state, and I think it's important on these types of things for everyone to think about where are you responsible, I feel culpable in that

I, coming into this space, as someone who's a bit younger than some of the people putting information out ahead of me, have found times where I tiptoe around things and haven't really found the strength in my voice to communicate.
