 episode no. 110 :: first broadcast on 25 august 2010 The Legacy of Krishna -- Compassion or Cruelty?
Examining the toll of dairy products on our health and the inescapable cruelty in every glass of milkAs
thousands of Hindus in Houston, and millions across the globe, prepare
to celebrate Janmashtami, a celebration of the Hindu God Krishna's
birth, one must contemplate whether dairy foods should have a place
in this esteemed spiritual holiday. On today's show, we will hear from
Dr. Manish Wani, president of Houston's very own Mahatma Gandhi Library,
about the cultural and spiritual significance of this beloved holiday.
We will also speak to none other than George Eisman - a registered
dietitian and authority on nutrition
for nearly 30 years. He will talk to us about the devastating health
effects of dairy foods and the immense cruelty that is inflicted by the
dairy industry -- issues that compel anyone, Hindu or not, to
reconsider including dairy in our cultural and spiritual celebrations.
But first, we'll cover the latest breaking news of the massive egg
recall due to the salmonella outbreak. Join us for all that, and more,
on this week's VEGAN WORLD RADIO! Today's Guests
