Culture vs. Compassion: Does Culture Justify Eating Animals?

In this engaging discussion, I ask Hailey why she isn't vegan and she responds, 'It's a cultural thing.' We explore whether culture justifies animal abuse, discuss the sentience of animals, and even touch on the controversial topic of whether plants feel pain. Additionally, we react to shocking facts from a factory farm documentary (no graphic footage shown) and provide insights into affordable vegan options.
