I’ve been doing this work for nearly a decade, and I continue to learn new facts about cruel and unusual ways animals are tortured in factory farms.

Reminder: @ImpossibleFoods & @BeyondMeat burgers have fewer calories than beef, far less fat, & more protein/cal. Plus, they have 2-3g of fiber & zero cholesterol - the opposite of beef. A @Stanford medicine study found better heart health & weight. Deets: gfi.org/nutrition

Never tell yourself you "have to" do something. Instead, tell yourself that you "choose to." The mindset difference is subtle but important. "Having to" removes agency. "Choosing to" put it back.

Big shout out to the 27 Impossiblers who joined our 2nd annual @ImpossibleFoods Memorial Day #Murph run. Feels good to come together to give thanks and to sacrifice (even just a little bit) for those who sacrificed everything for our freedom.
