Where Should You Start? The Biggest, Easiest Change You Can Make to Reduce Chronic Disease.

In this episode of Eat Meat Sparingly, Ali shares a powerful and practical conversation sparked by a simple question: “If we don’t serve ham for Easter… what do we eat instead?” That question opens the door to a deeper discussion about food, tradition, and what actually impacts our long-term health. Ali breaks down the hierarchy of animal products—what to reduce first, what matters most, and how to make simple, realistic changes without going to extremes.
