Stephanie Harris, our former RD supervisor and fellow plant-based colleague, curated this site. This link was inspired by her graduate work on understanding the public health implications of concentrated animal feeding operations. This is a compilation of research and resources used in her studies. With over 12 years of experience, she has engaged with countless individuals to explore the intricacies of their eating habits. Through these interactions, she has come to understand that eating is a multifaceted behavior deeply intertwined with our food system. This system encompasses decisions made at local, state, and federal levels, influencing how our food is produced, its cost, and who has access to it.
This platform specifically delves into the animal agricultural aspect of the food system and its wide-ranging impacts on public health, the environment, and animal welfare. If you find that the current system doesn't align with your values, we encourage you to explore the "What You Can Do" section and harness your power to drive positive change.
