Do you know you’re inside the Meatrix? Stuart Waldner is offering you the red pill. Are you ready to take it?
Though Stuart didn’t set out to be an environmental food activist, after transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle in 2008 and feeling better physically, he set out to uncover the statistical connections between our dietary choices and the worldwide crises we’re facing. His new eye-opening book, Escape the Meatrix, is a wake-up call for those willing to face the facts. “My book isn’t for Vegans. It’s for folks trapped in the Meatrix,” says Stuart.

Stuart Waldner is an activist and an author who invites readers to take the red pill as they Escape the Meatrix, the title of his debut non-fiction book, written after he transitioned to a plant-based diet in 2008. As his health improved, he felt better, and the more he learned about the statistical connections between our dietary choices and the worldwide climate crises we face, the more he felt an urgency to tell other people —for our health and for the planet.
Waldner spent nearly two decades exploring Earth’s greatest wonders and connecting with sacred sites around the globe. When he’s not advocating for the health of people and the planet, he spends time playing with his dogs, cooking plant-based foods, running, and restoring his 128-year-old Victorian home.
