High school student and animal advocate Landon Villegas knows how difficult it can be to stand by your values when everyone around you is making different choices. After stepping away from veganism because he wanted to fit in, Landon eventually returned with a deeper understanding of the impact our food choices have on animals, human health, and the planet.
In this episode of Action Hour, Landon discusses the struggle to obtain plant-based meals at school, the social pressures young vegans face, and the importance of parents advocating for their children. He also explores animal agriculture’s environmental impact, vegan outreach, animal sanctuary programs, and how schools can give students more opportunities to create compassionate change. Action Hour podcast is hosted by Lindsey Baker.
