Korin Sutton, a beacon of strength and dedication, transitioned to a vegan lifestyle not just for personal health benefits, but out of a profound sense of compassion — a principle deeply ingrained during his military service. Korin’s encounter⁢ with vegan‌ activist Gary‍ Roski in a public speaking class was a pivotal moment. Gary’s riveting address, known ​globally as “The Best Speech Ever,” profoundly shifted Korin’s perception⁤ about animal welfare and health.⁢ Gary highlighted the suffering animals endure in factory farms, debunking misconceptions and revealing the reality of their pain. Inspired by ‍the speech, Korin embraced a plant-based diet, realizing it was possible to thrive physically‌ without contributing​ to such cruelty.

This exposure⁣ to human‌ suffering fortified⁤ his commitment to minimizing harm in all aspects of ‌life, including his dietary ​choices.
