Why did you decide to eat more plants?

I don’t like supporting factory farming, the unethical treatment of animals, and the effects on the planet.

How has eating more plants helped you?

I feel more clean and healthy. I can rest my head at night knowing I’m living my life congruent with what I value.

How has our open-minded, LGBTQIA+ friendly community impacted your life?

I love any community that supports inclusion and equality and gives people a voice to share their stories/experiences/courage.

What is the most important thing you’d like to share with the Clean Food Dirty Girl community?

I appreciate the opening statement from the founder about being a former boozer and smoker. I am also in recovery from substances and self-defeating behaviors. It’s never too late to change your story!
