Andy shares with us how documentaries changed his whole life and helped him become plant-based, vegan, and how he joined the movement. We explore how masculinity and nutrition can have certain expectations, especially for big military personalities. He proudly joined the United States Marine Corps in 2004, where he served a total of eight years as an active duty Marine. He walks us through what nutrition is like in the field and if being vegan in certain areas is even an option.
