Harold Brown is a former beef and dairy farmer. He was born on a cattle farm in Michigan and spent over half his life in agriculture. After a personal health crisis forced him to confront the incidence of heart disease in his family, Harold began eating a plant-exclusive diet. Living in great health as an herbivore and seeing his triglycerides plummet led him to reexamine all of his previous assumptions about eating animals. He soon arrived at the profound conviction that exploiting and killing non-animals for food is immoral. At that point, Harold went from merely plant-exclusive to truly vegan. Now a vegan activist, he is the founder of Farm Kind and one of the subjects of the documentary Peaceable Kingdom.
