Dr Tom interviews 'Meat Me Halfway' documentary film producer Brian Kateman for NOTeD!

There isn’t a NOTeD interview that I felt hasn’t brought something truly special to our audience. But as a Flexitarian, often feeling “stuck in between” the “diet wars” among people I love, this one touched my heart the most. Brian Kateman is the lead producer of the 2021 movie documentary Meat Me Halfway, as well as president and cofounder of the Reducetarian Foundation. The Foundation’s general mission is to (lovingly) nudge people to reduce, but not necessarily (or unrealistically) pressure them to 100% eliminate, their intake of (particularly factory farmed) animal-based food intake based on compassion for ourselves in our own health, the health of animals (particularly those in tortuous confined animal feeding operations) and the health of our planet. Brian gives us insight into his journey to becoming the leading Reducetarian thought leader, including some touching stories about his internal struggles with what he felt to be the counterproductive expectations of both plant pure eaters on one end and SAD (standard American diet) eaters on the other - which, frankly, included his parents (though there’s a very touching ending to the movie in that regard!) He also gave us some great “behind the scenes“ of the movie plus a “first ever reveal!” We had a cool discussion on the strong common ground between Flexitarians and Reducetarians and how they are beautifully distinct without a problematic difference. And what can I say? I just can’t help it! Yes, I asked him what he eats (it’s a NOTeD staple!), how his wife feels about his journey (something I can very much identify with) and any plans for future movies (cool answer!). So sit back, or please walk if the spirit moves you, and listen to this charming, intelligent and mission focused young man. He has a WHY. He’ll feed you food for thought with it. He’ll do it with love and respect. He’ll do it well. You’ll feel it. Enjoy!
