Key Quotes

“As we're growing up, you know, we just assume like, oh, cows are in the pasture, they're not in a building, or chickens are just roaming about the ground. And it's very different. It's very different than, I think, what people perceive where their food is coming from.” - Kristen

“If I can't shoot the bow, if I can't pull the trigger… How could I possibly eat that animal? Like, if I don't have enough respect for that creature, I shouldn't be eating it. .. It never sat right with me and I never felt like I was being like the truest version of myself.” - Kristen

“If I don't give myself the chance, and I keep going down this road, I'll constantly ask, ‘What if I would have done that?’ ‘What if I would have actually made those choices?’ And I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to have that regret.” - Kristen
