Author Biography

After completing her MS in Environmental Sciences, Patricia Tallman obtained a PhD in Water Resources Engineering. Having realized that individual actions exert an immense impact upon animal suffering and environmental degradation, she became vegan in 2003. Through her speaking engagements, policy consulting, and writing (including a number of editorial articles in The Vancouver Sun, some of which also appeared in Calgary Herald, Montreal Gazette, Windsor Star, Star Phoenix, and the Examiner), Dr. Tallman shows how a plant-based diet profoundly benefits human, animal, and environmental health.
