Vegan Since 1984! Dr. Neal Barnard of PCRM

Dr. Neal Barnard has been vegan since 1984. He was so kind to let me get his pitch for the book Vegan Voices but he also let me squeeze in some questions. My time was limited so I really didn't get to dig into the questions as deep as I would have loved to. It was also challenging because the building was under construction. So, there was a little audio interference I had to work around. I really hope to get Dr. Barnard for my next project, a documentary I'm excited to get started that he would be a perfect part in.
Dr. Neal D. Barnard is the founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). Additionally, he is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC. He opened the Barnard Medical Center in 2016 as part of PCRM, with a focus on diet and preventative medicine.
