I don’t support Meatless Mondays because I want to have a future in the industry that I came to learn more about. I grew up on a small farm in southern Minnesota where my family raised beef cattle and hogs. Animal agriculture has been a main contributor to my family’s income, and it’s the reason I came to the University of Minnesota — to obtain a degree in animal science and continue producing livestock.
