The more you know about where your food comes from, the better. And the best way to know what’s right for YOU is to learn more.

Decisions about what we choose to put into our bodies are personal and I believe that change is more likely to happen when beliefs aren’t forced onto people. Not everyone processes information at the same speed or, despite the best of intentions, goes at the same pace modifying behaviors and habits.

Whether you’re an omnivore, vegetarian or vegan, you’ll likely agree that the inhumane and unethical practices of animal exploitation need to stop.

I hope the information provided here will encourage you to make changes that positively impact farmed animals, our deteriorating environment and your own health.

Thanks or taking time to visit and learn more!
