Casey Kern from PETA Talks Sobriety, Veganism, and Animal Welfare with Todd Crandell
Seeing those images of animals crammed into cages...it just crushed me.
Ever wondered how a plant-based diet could influence your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'Ignite Euphoria', Todd Crandell sits down with Casey Kern, Senior Manager of Lifestyle Media at PETA, to chat about the fascinating link between living sober and embracing veganism. Casey opens up about her personal transformation, which began as a New Year's resolution after watching the eye-opening documentary 'Earthlings'.
The film's stark portrayal of animal cruelty struck a chord with her, much like her sobriety journey did. The conversation covers a lot of ground. Casey and Todd dive into the environmental impact of animal agriculture and the vital work PETA is doing to improve animal welfare. Casey shares how PETA targets the four major industries causing the most animal suffering: food, clothing, entertainment, and experimentation.
She also talks about the health perks of a plant-based diet, including boosts to self-esteem and overall well-being. For those curious about making the switch to veganism, Casey offers practical tips and debunks common myths. She also highlights PETA's ongoing campaigns, especially their efforts to make the food industry more humane during the holiday season.
The chat wraps up with insights on how exercise and nutrition play crucial roles in maintaining sobriety, and how Racing for Recovery incorporates a plant-based diet into its programs. This episode is packed with valuable information and personal stories that will inspire you to consider how your lifestyle choices can positively impact both your health and the world around you.
