Dr. Will Tuttle is an influential author known for The World Peace Diet and Food for Freedom. We explored his philosophy on how veganism is intricately connected to freedom and the implications this has on both individual and societal levels. Dr. Tuttle, with his rich background in philosophy, humanities, and Zen Buddhism, shared insights on the often-overlooked link between our treatment of animals and the elusive pursuit of freedom. This discussion delved into how our actions, particularly the enslavement of animals, may reflect and influence the challenges we face in achieving true freedom. How do our choices impact our collective well-being? Is there a deeper connection between veganism and human liberation that we need to consider?   Chapters (00:00:55) Introduction (00:06:00) Welcoming Dr Will Tuttle & His Journey into Vegan Philosophy (00:09:15) - Early Life, Family Influence and Distrust of Authority (00:12:15) - Pilgrimage to the Communes & Awakening to Animal Liberation (00:15:38) - Becoming Vegan and Discovering Ancient Non‑Violent Traditions (00:17:44) - Vegan Advocacy Around the World & Freedom Through Compassion (00:26:31) - From 9/11 to COVID – Seeing Through Deception and Materialism (00:30:06) - Debunking Myths: Veganism vs “Global Agendas” (00:33:58) - Freedom as Responsibility and Moral Consistency (00:39:40) - Consensualism – Extending Libertarian Ethics to Animals (00:46:20) - Ethical Mirror Effect – How Our Actions Create Tyrants (00:53:25) - Vegan Movement Contradictions & Freedom Summit Revelations (01:00:01) - Truth Over Tactics – Rejecting Fear‑Based Messaging (01:03:10) - Ethical Veganism as the Only Consistent Path (01:06:14) - Transcending Activism Through Inner Transformation (01:13:00) - Materialism, Science and the Loss of Spiritual Freedom (01:17:07) - Spiritual Awakening as the True Revolution (01:18:45) - Closing Reflections & Dr Tuttle’s Resources References from the show Activists Pouring Milk In Shops Are FAKE Vegans | Debate: JonnyHodl Vs Tim Speers (Animal Rebellion) [David Ramms] Guest Links Twitter: WillTuttlePhD Website: www.worldpeacediet.com Affiliate Links Surfshark: VPN / Antivirus / Incogni Fountain: https://fountain.fm/jonnyhodl?code=3a917f606b Podcast Website: http://www.stayingfreepod.com/ Links to all platforms: https://linktr.ee/stayingfreepod Telegram: https://t.me/stayingfreepod Host Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonnyhodl Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/stayingfreepod Donate to the Podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/stayingfreepod Donate with Bitcoin: https://tippin.me/@jonnyhodl / bc1qvgktg2uurp69cf5xepjhunwhp6skxrf69hmq82 Donate with Lightning: https://tipybit.com/stayingfreepod / ⚡️jonnyhodl@getalby.com Huge thank you to my generous supporters Pim Mark A Parallel Mike
