We have long acknowledged cruelty towards animals as an indicator of psychopathy. Yet slaughterhouse workers are paid and expected to carry out what amounts to torture upon thousands of sentient beings, day in and day out. How could that not have an effect?

When typing "slaughterhouse workers" into Google, the very first auto-suggestion is "slaughterhouse workers ptsd." Studies across countries and cultures show clear evidence of psychological trauma from working in slaughterhouses.

If nothing else, the deep and lasting psychological damage slaughterhouse workers experience is a testament to the profound impact of non-human animal suffering. The fact that their deaths can so devastate the human psyche must mean that their lives matter.

Bite Size Vegan aims to serve as an “entry point” for non-vegans to explore veganism in an approachable, non-threatening environment—distilling down complex concepts into accessible formats while providing cited sources for total transparency and to allow further independent research and evaluation.

By taking on the ample time requirements of researching the myriad of issues inherent within and surrounding veganism, as well as sorting through the ever-growing mountains of information, Emily Moran Barwick aims to increase both the accessibility of veganism for non-vegans, and the efficiency and effectiveness of current vegans’ activism.
