Do you ever think about how your meal made it onto your plate?
In this episode, Amanda and I explore the conventions around the treatment of animals in the production of food and invite listeners to take a second look that the laws and industries that provide many of the products we enjoy.
Full disclosure, I am not a vegan but I do believe we all have a responsibility to live in a more sustainable and intentional way with the way we treat animals and the environment. This show is about exploring new conventions for living a more meaningful life and whether you are interested in a vegan lifestyle or not, I think anyone who care about animals can agree, what's happening in the animal agriculture business needs to change.
