329: [Part 1] Who Would Want to Be a Farmer? The Burden on Mental Health. By Jackie Norman at SurgeActivism.org.

Jackie Norman, former dairy farm worker, is interviewed by Switch4Good.org about her 18 years in the industry, and how farmers and vegans can move towards a brighter future together.   Today is “Cow Appreciation Day”, a marketing day created by US Fast Food chain Chick Fil-A where they, and now dairy farmers as well, make light of cows in the animal agriculture industry, pretending they have wonderful lives and they’re an essential part of the food system. So I selected today’s post to help people understand and appreciate what a dairy cow’s life is like. Switch 4 Good is an evidence-based nonprofit dedicated to rattling accepted norms around dairy and health. They’re working to abolish the current system of dietary racial oppression, and promoting solutions for climate change. They have a fantastic podcast hosted by Olympic medalist Dotsie Bausch and Baywatch actress/health coach Alexandra Paul - they'll inspire and educate you to start living better and feeling better. You can find it all at switch4good.org Original post: https://switch4good.org/honest-truth-interview-former-dairy-farm-worker/  Rowdy Girl Farm Sanctuary: https://rowdygirlsanctuary.org/  Vegan FTA: https://veganfta.com  Follow Plant Based Briefing on social media: Twitter: @PlantBasedBrief YouTube:  YouTube.com/PlantBasedBriefing  Facebook: Facebook.com/PlantBasedBriefing  LinkedIn:  Plant Based Briefing Podcast Instagram: @PlantBasedBriefing   #cowappreciationday #DairyFree #DitchDairy #DairyIsScary #animalcruelty #dairyfarmer #Switch4Good #PlantBased #Vegan #S4G  #veganpodcast #plantbasedpodcast #plantbasedbriefing

004: Jackie Norman, former dairy & beef farmer turned vegan, on effective strategies for animal advocates

Jackie and Gareth speak with Warren Moore about their book 'Everyday Vegan', and their life living in a Nissan van. The couple decided to leave behind the mortgage merry-go-round for a humble life travelling in their beloved van in 2016. It is this experience which makes 'Everyday Vegan' unique. Not only does the book obviously feature vegan recipes, but they were created in a confined space and with limited access to specialty ingredients. They also can be prepared in less than 30 minutes. Many of the recipes also cater for food intolerances; a necessity after Jackie was diagnosed with coeliac disease. http://newhollandpublishers.com
