Martin Zeman, a vegan from the Czech Republic, reflects on his journey toward veganism, influenced by the movie Earthlings. He emphasizes the ethical reasons behind his dietary choices and the availability of cruelty-free food options. As an electrical engineer, he benefits from free public education and works for an American company, enhancing his English skills through travel and interactions. Zeman has worked in various roles, including as a carny in the USA and at a cannery in Alaska, which allowed him to explore nature and wildlife. He practices environmental consciousness by using his own dishes instead of disposable ones.
