Some of us can credit a specific person in our lives that brought us closer to vegetarianism and animal rights.

Actress Jorja Fox recalls the day her grandmother warned her that animals’ natural environments were being threatened.

“She had this amazingly progressive philosophy regarding animals,” Fox told Vegetarian Times. “I remember watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom as a little kid, and they’re talking about habitat issues and she’s saying to me, “We have to do something about this.”

Fox recently recorded a PSA for Animals Defenders International to educated the public on the treatment of circus animals. The clip shows beautiful images of elephants walking across the Earth outdoors. The peaceful imagery is a sharp contrast to the elephants that are then shown in a circus environment.

Watch the clip below.

Vegan chef Bryant Terry is out to entice those looking to make diet changes that are better for human, planet and animal health with his newly released cookbook, The Inspired Vegan.

Terry is best known for his genius of transforming traditional southern African-American cuisine rich with meat, butter and cream into dishes that lack the animal products but not the taste.

The Inspired Vegan continues that tradition, but also explores plant-based Asian entrees, such as the “Two-Rice Congee with Steamed Spinach and Other Accompaniments.”
