Description

In this episode Bailey sits down with the talented author, writer, editor, and vegan activist, Molly Elwood. Molly is the CEO and founder of the wildly popular “Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat” brand which uses its name and website alone as heart wrenching satire to highlight the downfalls and inhumanity of the animal agriculture industry. What started as a bumper sticker has turned into an rapidly growing instagram account with dog meat merchandise available to purchase, and an ever evolving website that has plenty of satire, resources, tools, downloads, and tips on how to get active in your community.  
This episode starts off with some light hearted conversations about Molly and how she came up with the idea, and then they dive into some of the hard issues when it comes to the meat industry. It’s brands like Elwoods dog meat that are bringing awareness to the collective society on how our food system works and where our food comes from. Inherently we has humans are not cruel, yet the realities of the meat industry and the slaughterhouse is nothing close to humane. Throughout the conversation there are tips on how to get more educated with our food industry and how to become more involved in your local community. You’ll want to tune in for this special episode!
