A presentation on the ethical solutions and health benefits of veganism by James Wildman of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (ARFF). The presentation was taped before a class at a Broward County high school in April 2012. The goal of ARFF's Humane Education program is to encourage a sense of personal responsibility toward animals and the planet, to empower young people to make conscious, compassionate choices, and to encourage critical thought.

@Wilby: if you eat an apple you don't kill the tree. If you eat a steak, you do kill the animal. See the difference?
