Figuring out the truth about food and how to avoid breast cancer has become the investigative reporting job of my life. As a result I have felt compelled to respond to Angelina Jolie’s recent decision to have a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of developing cancer

I had the strangest week, where it seemed like all my non-veg friends and acquaintances couldn’t wait to talk to ME about veganism. More specifically, they couldn’t wait to talk to me about Alexandra Jamieson and her veganism no-more… Today, I am finally ready to steam down and talk about what bugged me – and the crux of it is something I think needs to change in the vegan movement: our quickness to judge others and to react harshly — especially anonymously, online.
