My story about food, why my farm is vegan, and why I became vegan. Why this should and does matter to everyone. An exploration of all the reasons we need to make informed choices about our food and our future. People become vegan for a variety of reasons, some for the animals, some for health, and some for the environment. In truth all of these reasons matter, and it is increasingly important and somewhat urgent, that more people on our beautiful planet are aware of what goes on in the production of our food, and just how precarious human life on earth is becoming.
