“Everybody has access to extraordinary choices.” - Paige Parsons Roache
When her daughter decided to go vegan, Paige Parsons Roache couldn’t have imagined how much her own diet and life would change.
It started with education: reading books, listening to plant-based doctors, watching documentaries and trying vegan food from local restaurants. Pretty soon, Paige was experimenting with recipes and becoming a “chef in her own kitchen” for the first time in her life.
After meeting Jane Velez-Mitchell at a vegan event, Paige found herself inspired to get more involved and more vocal about the plant-based cause. Documentaries like Cowspiracy and What the Health had opened her eyes to the environmental and social impacts of animal agriculture, and she became committed to helping end the suffering connected to the industry.
“If I knowingly was contributing to the harm of another,” Paige says of her realization, “I knew I had to make the change.”
