Finding Peace Amidst Atrocities (with Jamie Logan) (Ep.54)

The Simple Heart w/ Wayne Hsiung

What happens when a joyous vegan enters the disturbing halls of an industrial factory farm?

Jamie Logan is what I’d call a joyous vegan. Her activism is filled with warmth and humor, even as she speaks strongly for animal rights. I had her on the show because of a recent change in her activism: she has started going undercover into factory farms, witnessing things that are anything but joyous.

How does she manage the tension between joy and anger? How does she find peace while witnessing things that no one should witness? We discuss in the latest episode.
