Through creating vegan versions of classic candy bars and using food as activism, Fee is a pioneer in the vegan community. 

Fee shares how seeing a dairy farm video sparked her vegan journey in August 2019, and how she then used her culinary background to recreate vegan versions of typically animal-based candy bars like Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, and more! 

Fee’s goal: to win over vegans and non-vegans by taste, while avoiding stigma. She describes starting Break Free through selling bars out of her trunk during COVID, moving into commissary and brick-and-mortar operations, and then navigating the challenge of staying afloat financially. 

As a vegan activist in her own right, Fee emphasizes the importance of community, inclusivity, and hiring marginalized groups. Enjoy this episode from your favorite vegan candy creator!!

Drop the weight, drop your ego, and let’s learn how to RDL the right way! This easy tip is how I show clients around the world how to perfect their Romanian Deadlift. 

RDLs are essential for building strong hamstrings and glutes while improving flexibility and overall athletic performance. You will learn proper hip hinge mechanics, reduce injury risk, and enhance functional movement. 

By strengthening the posterior chain, RDLs help with balance, lower back stability, and knee health, making them a versatile exercise for all fitness levels. Whether your goal is muscle growth, better mobility, or injury prevention, RDLs are a must-have in your leg day routine!

When we say that we’re animal lovers, against oppression, environmentalists, against exploitation, we all get praised - but when we say we’re vegan, we get called “extreme” and seen as “weird” by society - when how could you be an animal lover and against oppression if you’re NOT vegan? Those two things contradict each other.

So, if you actually TRULY care about animals and the environment, going plant-based would be the way to go.

If you’re disgusted by dead animal body parts, why not go vegan?

For everyone else who isn’t vegan, what’s stopping you? Let me know in the comments below ⬇️

James discusses running Fauna Films, through which he is creating localized pro-vegan visual media in the Global South, including a four-part Indonesian series hosted by a well-known comedian that highlights naturally plant-based Indonesian foods, colonial influences on animal product consumption, and issues like widespread dairy intolerance and imported dairy cows. 

James shares his background from a non-vegan family, including a mother who lobbied for animal agriculture, and describes pivotal experiences: accidentally entering a Bolivian slaughterhouse, an ayahuasca trip centered on slaughterhouse suffering, extensive vigils and documentation with the Animal Save Movement, and creating the Planet Vegan series. 

We hope you enjoy our thought-provoking conversation on burnout, self-care, making activism sustainable and paid, psychedelics’ role in empathy, trust and self-kindness, and James’s pantheistic spirituality connecting veganism to reconnection with Earth and reducing violence.
