In this episode, Kathy Stevens discusses:

* Over fifty reasons for living a vegan lifestyle.

* How farmed animal sanctuaries help us make emotional connections with animals that most of us only know as “food.”

* The lessons she learned from a rooster named Paulie

* How the farming of animals for human consumption negatively impacts the environment and how a vegan lifestyle will mitigate its effects.

Key Takeaways:

* We all want our lives, and just like humans, animals feel pain, fear, and love and nurture their children.

* Vital resources we get from our land, the sea and rainforests are disappearing at an alarming rate, but a vegan lifestyle would mitigate these impacts.

* Living a vegan lifestyle can help address many of the chronic health challenges created, in part, by a meat and dairy-centric diet.

"When we eat animals, when we buy products tested on animals or clothing made from animals; we’re saying In effect to animals and to the planet, ‘I matter. You don’t.’" – Kathy Stevens
