AAM: You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks: Going Vegan Later in Life

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. In his role as Executive Director, Lindstrom manages 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). = This program takes place on Zoom.
