The year was 2016 and as a new vegan I had just booked my first commercial of the year for a technology company in San Francisco, California. Before 2016, I was an avid meat-eater, who weighed 210 pounds and ate hamburgers almost every day.
I live about an hour from San Francisco, California, therefore I know S.F. happens to be one of the best places to be vegan in the United States. However, getting up and ready by 5am to be on set by 6am meant no time for breakfast the morning I woke up to shoot this commercial. Not thinking twice about it, I hurried along to set with a rumbling stomach, ready to dive into whatever vegan food they had waiting for me.
