In today's episode, Kate talks about her experience with veganism and why individual action won't save us. She touches on the issues with factory farming and animal agriculture, looking at how these systems exploit the Earth, animals, and humans. Kate discusses how vegans can communicate more strategically online to change people's behavior instead of shaming people for their habits. She emphasizes that the way we change our agricultural systems is by pressuring government officials, instead of blaming our neighbors for their imperfect actions.
