Sarah became a vegetarian at the age of seven after visiting a farm and realising the animals would be killed for food. She later turned vegan.

“I became a vegetarian at seven. I went on a school trip to a farm and loved the animals. I told Dad I was going to be a farmer because I wanted to look after animals and show them to children, but he said that’s what we eat, chopped up. I was aghast.”2Hind, J. 2017.
