From Excuse-itarian to Vegan: Addressing the Blocks and Excuses that Keep Us from Making Changes

No Sacrifice: Upholding our Values and Honoring Traditions at the Holidays and Every Day
Addresses the idea that certain practices are justifiable simply because they’re embedded in the culture and sanctified by tradition; provides practical suggestions for new food and family traditions that reflect compassion as well as nostalgia.

In this visually stimulating and unique presentation, Colleen illustrates with literature, film, and the visual arts that – try as we might – we can’t escape the connection we have with non-human animals.
