Marc Mongiardo from Nevada has a very non-vegetarian job. He’s a butcher. This didn’t stop him from becoming a vegan. For the last 5 years Marc has been also educating his customers about benefits of minimising meat consumption and switching to free range meat products. I can’t imagine how this can be good for his business but it’s definitely a good step towards saving more animals from slaughter.

“I feel like the process of people eating meat is going to be present no matter what. By cutting meat and knowing what it is, it helps reinforce the reasons why I am a vegan.”

Some animal liberation activists might be fuming about his semi-veganism. It helps to remember though, he’s not a vegan turned butcher, he’s a butcher becoming vegan. There’s a difference.
