I don’t take photos of my food…often.
Still, I’d like to consider myself a foodie, at least in the most basic sense. And over the course of this pandemic, I’ve even picked up cooking AND every meal I’ve made has been survivable!
My wife and I have become more conscious of food choices over what I’ll say is the past decade. But even then, I’m still learning about the effects of my diet – not only on my own health, but the health of our society and our planet.
My guest today had made it her passion to tie-up all of these lose ends
Dara Lovitz is a writer, professor, presenter, and co-founding board member of Peace Advocacy Network, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes a peaceful existence through veganism, social justice, and respect for the Earth’s inhabitants and resources.
She is the author of:
· Muzzling A Movement: The Effects of Anti-Terrorism Law, Money, and Politics on Animal Activism
· Catching Falling Cradles: A Gentle Approach to Classic Rhymes
· Twinsight: A Guide to Raising Emotionally Healthy Twins
&
· Gag Reflections: Conquering a Fear of Vomit Through Exposure Therapy.
Dara is an adjunct professor of Animal Law and a continuing legal education project coordinator for the American Law Institute. She presents in various forums across the country on animal law, vegan, and parenting topics.
We discuss her own journey to veganism & her activism around it, the effects of anti-terrorism laws that unjustly target Animal Rights Activists, her experiences in trying cases for clients who are literally voiceless, and why it’s important to find way to help make eating healthy more equitable and accessible.
I won’t say I’ll never eat meat again, but I was blown away by Dara’s insight and passion.
We need more leaders like her.
Enjoy the show.
