Jeff Nelson and the Meat Industry

“As the founder of the National Vegetarian Museum, I am thrilled to share here a presentation by documentary filmmaker and producer, and “Vegan Muckraker” Jeff Nelson, which was recorded at a 2016 seminar offered through Dr. McDougall’s Health and Medical Center. The content of Jeff’s presentation — ranging from his career in the television industry through his and his family’s life-changing encounter with Dr. John McDougall that inspired them to create the pioneering VegSource.com website and the Healthy Lifestyle Expo, and including the history of the Armour meatpacking family, of which he is a member — is so captivating that I watched the sixty-plus minute presentation in its entirety… twice! Referencing the commitment to efficacy shared by the Armour dynasty founders, and by Dr. McDougall, Jeff quips” I think that if the Armour Brothers were around today, they would probably be here this weekend.”I was especially moved when Jeff introduced his nonagenarian mother, now a vegan, who was present in the audience! I hope that you enjoy, and benefit from this presentation as much as I have.” - Kay Stepkin Founder, National Vegetarian Museum
