Danielle Solberg is a junior at the University of Idaho and a member of the Local Herbivores club. She said she made the decision to go vegan nearly a year ago for a number of reasons, including benefits to her physical and mental health.
“It was such an important change, by far the best thing I have ever done. It has helped my mental health a lot and that is something I have always fought for,” Solberg said. “It has just tied every social movement that I have ever worked on together, whether it is LGBTQ stuff, indigenous rights, human rights or environmental work, everything. It encompasses so much.”
