Cognitive Dissonance and Veganism: Danny and Devon's Candid Chat
I really work on my cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy... I try to not like call people out or call people a hypocrite.
Ever wondered why some people preach one thing but do another? In this episode of 'Get Me The Recipe', Danny and Devon tackle the tricky topic of cognitive dissonance, especially in the context of veganism. They kick things off with some light-hearted banter about recording at night, comparing themselves to the late-night radio host Delila, before diving into some juicy vegan news related to their favorite musicians.
But the heart of the episode is all about cognitive dissonance - that uncomfortable feeling when your actions don't quite match your beliefs. Devon breaks it down simply and clearly, making it easy to understand. The duo shares personal stories and examples that get under their skin, like environmentalists who aren't vegan. They also touch on their own struggles with leftovers and laugh at their own hypocrisy.
It's not all heavy though; Danny and Devon sprinkle in their usual humor and offer practical tips for dealing with non-vegan relatives, surviving meatless Mondays, and eating vegan on a budget. They also open up about their personal journeys with sobriety, mental health, relationships, and more. So, if you're looking for a mix of laughs, life lessons, and vegan tips, this episode is a must-listen.
