Growing up in an all-female Italian household, Eric was nourished to obesity on meat and dairy. Decades later, overnight, Lindstrom became a vegan—on a bet. A bet he still refuses to lose ten years later. This simple change in diet and lifestyle led to a popular blog that led to two book deals, two YouTube shows and, ultimately, a career in animal rights. Eric’s talk inspires anyone, at any age, to make the change to vegan—for human health, the planet, and the animals.
About Eric Lindstrom:
In his role as Executive Director, Lindstrom manages Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM)’s personnel, fundraising, coordinating partner networks, budgeting, and operations.
After founding a New York-based vegan/socially-conscious advertising and marketing firm, Lindstrom officially started his career in the animal rights movement as the Program Director for Farm Animal Rights Movement (2016-2018) and then served as the Director of Marketing and Communications for Animal Outlook (formerly Compassion Over Killing) where he led the team toward a successful rebranding of the decades-old organization.
Residing in Ithaca, NY, Lindstrom penned two best-selling books on veganism, The Skeptical Vegan and Raising Vegan Kids (Skyhorse Publishing).
