This special edition of Vegan Radio is produced for the Pacifica Network program 'Sprouts' and will be aired on FM stations throughout the US. Megan and Derek interview people who have overcome illness on a plant-based vegan diet, as well as experts in the fields of nutrition and vegan diet planning. Megan and Derek hope that these testimonies from people who have cured themselves from cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases that run rampant in industrialized societies will help to dispel myths about vegetarianism.
