T.O.F.U. #13 | Meet the Authors
People are giving great feedback on the latest issue, and I believe a lot of credit can go to the folks who decided to write about their personal experiences with eating disorders and recovery as vegans.
With that in mind, I thought now might be a great time to introduce you to the writers of T.O.F.U. #13. For those interested, I’ve included links for each of them, so you can find out more about them beyond these simple bios.
