This presentation is the second, expanded version of my talk of the same name originally delivered for Pechakucha Night Roanoke in 2014.
My goal for the presentation is to share that eating well without animals is not only possible, but it is JOYFUL. My presentation is free of images of animal cruelty, not because i don't care about those things, but because I choose to put forward the positive side of an animal free diet. Strict vegans may find my moderation offensive, but most of the people I know and love are not vegan and I aim for the common ground, not the dividing line.
The resignation is lighthearted and humorous throughout and includes recommended cook books, the health benefits I've experienced, and common food situations “veganized.”
This is the first in a 4-part series I've developed for the library. The others are “Yard=Garden—What We've Done for Food and for Fun,” “What Permaculture Is, Isn't, and What's in it for You,” and “Compositing 101: From Manure to Obscure.”
You can follow my eating adventures (plus lots of puppy pictures) every day on Instagram and Twitter @bencapozzi.
* I use low-res images in my uploads. Actual presentations are crisp and clear.

“If you would like to open up a lawn chair and drink a couple of
glasses of wine while you watch the animal, then you have good animal
welfare. No normal person enjoys watching a hen in a battery cage or
a sow in a farrowing crate, or a steer wading in its own excrement.”

“No animal has to die in order for me
to live, and that makes me feel good.”
