Joe Yonan With “NPR” On Coming Out As A Vegetarian (Audio)
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 11th, 2013 in Audio, Food & Drink, Journalists.
Washington Post food editor Joe Yonan has an interview with NPR on his recent decision to go vegetarian and devote his regular newspaper columns to plant-based eating.
Yonan’s “coming out as a vegetarian,” as NPR puts it, as a writer for a major national paper isn’t the only thing that sounds odd and surprising.
Yonan also hails from cattle country.
He grew up in west Texas eating “steak and barbecue and all sorts of meaty goodness.”
He said his change of diet was mainly driven from health concerns. Some of it was also environmental.
Yonan reflects a growing population that is trying to at least eat less meat, if not go completely vegetarian.
In a poll conducted with Truven Health Analytics, NPR found that 39 percent of adults surveyed said they eat less meat than they did three years ago. Health was also the biggest reason for these adults’ change.
