Vegan Abattoir
Hosted by Harley Quinn Smith & Kevin Smith · EN
When filmmaker KEVIN SMITH nearly died from a massive heart attack, his only begotten daughter HARLEY QUINN convinced him to try a plant-based diet for 2 months. Years later and still not dead, the Dad asked his Daughter to join forces so the two can provide plant-based answers to the Vegan-curious questions they get from a meat-eating and dairy-drinking audience.
The only thing that gets slaughtered here is misinformation!
