Filmmaker Kevin Smith suffered a very severe heart attack in 2018. His daughter Harley Quinn convinced him of the health benefits of a plant-based diet. Smith claims that as a vegan, he feels much healthier than ever before.
The father and daughter launched their own podcast, Vegan Abbatoir, earlier this year. Their goal is to inform as many people as possible about the positive benefits of veganism. The podcast provides two perspectives on this issue – one ethical and the other based on health. Kevin Smith mainly talks about health, the cause of his heart attack was high cholesterol caused by the consumption of animal products. In one interview, he even stated that a plant-based diet saved his life.
Harley Quinn became a vegan because of her love for animals, so her point of view is primarily ethical and provides advice on what areas of life to focus on and what to abandon. The duo covered a wide range of topics in the podcast – from health and ethics to fashion and cosmetics.
