Gene Baur & Lani Muelrath, Festival for the Turkeys, Farm Sanctuary, Orland
If you haven’t been to a Farm Sanctuary Thanksgiving Festival for the Turkeys before, it’s got to go on your must-do list.
And don’t let it wait for the bucket list because once you find yourself at one of these happy events, you’ll be hooked and you’ll want to go year after year.
At least that’s what’s happened for us. And last Saturday’s Festival for the Turkeys in Orland, CA was as good as it gets.
I brought home some new video for you to add to the Farm Sanctuary video I posted for you last week.
And it gets even better.
This time I interviewed Gene Baur, co-Founder of Farm Sanctuary and Victoria Moran, speaker, author, coach, and animal advocate.
I asked Gene and Victoria the following questions:
1) Was there a ‘moment of vegan epiphany‘ that you can recall and share? An event or time that caused the shift for you to embrace a plant-foods, vegan diet?
2) For those who are considering moving to a plant-food, vegan diet, what are 2 reasons that they should do so - now?
Below are their video recorded responses.
Gene Baur, co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, recalls a specific moment when he was about 15 years old that first inspired his change to a vegan diet. He gives all the details. Then stay tuned to enjoy snapshots of children feeding turkeys, adults petting cows, and be sure to watch for the cow kissing the camera at the end!
Victoria Moran, whose next book Main Street Vegan (how’s that for a cool title!) is set to hit the bookshelves Spring 2012, tells of her vegetarian awakening and her big moment for change to veganism.
