The story: Growing up in Colombia, I did a lot of socializing with animals as a kid. What began as curiosity developed into empathy. I went from one instance where I placed a caterpillar on an ant mound to relocating washed up earthworms on pavement. It was a process of evolution. During my teen years, I had developed a care for the weak and empathy for animals but continued to eat steak and ham, etc. By mere accident I was exposed to the reality many pigs face in America where they are submerged fully conscious and  head-first into tanks of scalding water. It was at that critical moment I understood the necessity to pick a side and commit to it. 
After dropping animal products, I researched about the topic and was glad to see that Harvard and Cornell studies support my decision. The misconception tying animal products to health and muscle is actually fairly new; brought on by politicians with personal interests in animal agriculture (see ALEC) and continuous pro meat propaganda. In fact, lab studies from archeological sites reveal that the mighty gladiators and the Roman army ate a strictly plant based diet (Big Spartacus fan). I myself once ran to the gym, worked out, and that same night attended marathon grappling where I kicked ass - all on a regular diet without meat on my plate. 
I hope the song Mercy and my story reaches the hearts and minds of many. If you have any questions about taking that leap, feel free to message me on Instagram
