Mona Sharma explains how stress affects animals raised in factory farms and why the quality of animal protein matters for your brain. She argues for supporting conscious farming practices that produce better protein.

When those animals are slaughtered in a state of stress, the cortisol in those animals is going to spike. You're going to consume the cortisol from that animal protein that you're eating from those animals. So it's something, something to think about, whether you're vegan or eat animal protein. I'm here for it. Whatever you prefer, whatever feels great for your physiology. But please, let's just start to support the farmers that put the consciousness back into farming to give us higher quality cuts of animal protein.
