Merissa tells the story of how she introduced these topics into the Miss Montana competition, the campaign of social media harrassment waged against her because of her outspoken veganism, and how her experience in Future Farmers of America shaped her views about animals (23:20)
-Mariann brings us the latest Rising Anxieties from the industrial animal ag world. (1:01:20)
