#285: The Vegan Society with Andrea Rymer, RD
"I think one of the most common misconceptions that I hear, particularly from non-vegans, is that it's a restrictive diet. And I've heard that term used so much, even in health care resources, and it's not a restrictive diet. [...] A vegan diet is anything but restrictive." – Andrea Rymer
