Over the past year or so, I’ve probably watched twenty different documentaries , and many of them were about health, food, weight and nutrition.

Those of us who feel that real changes need to be made in the food industry have to actively seek ways to make those changes happen. I recently interviewed Marisa and here is what she has to share: How long have you been involved in animal activism? Can you share the story of how you became vegan and what prompted this work?

It’s a natural comfort food for some because of these properties. Sure, vegetables are great and a necessary part of anybody’s diet, but there are many foods out there besides vegetables.
