Connections: Plant-Based Diets

Can a film bring plant-based diets into the American mainstream? The notion of vegan living used to be considered fringe. That has been changing, and now the Rochester Academy of Medicine is bringing the film PlantPure Nation to town. We'll talk to the film's director, as well as people who have built or rebuilt their lives on plant-based eating. Our guests:

  • Dr. Ted Barnett
  • Phyllis Fleischman
  • Michael Hagelberg
  • Nelson Campbell
