“The vegan part of me is where Amy Jellicoe lives. Making ethical decisions ultimately puts you in opposition to society’s norms. There’s so much in our society that values comfort and convenience. It’s annoying when someone asks, “Is this really the right way to live? Is this the right thing to do?” I see myself in Amy, even in irritating ways. But I also find her sympathetic.”
