Episode 144: Armenia

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. In today’s episode, we deviate from our usual topics
of conversation and turn to discuss current and recent events
in the Middle Eastern country of Armenia. There is a war in
progress between Turkey and Armenia that has yet to become
widespread knowledge in the United States.


After hearing from Tro—who is of Armenian descent himself—
about the history of Armenia, we begin to share and talk about
the nation’s current state of affairs. We speculate as to why
the war between Turkey and Armenia is not being covered widely
in the American news. We discuss the root causes of racism,
systemic oppression (both in the U.S. and in the world at
large), and the importance of seeking to understand and be
accepting of people of other cultures and faiths.
