Why Your Support Is Vital

Bite Size Vegan fills a unique space in vegan activism and advocacy of bringing together the accessibility of engaging social-media content with the integrity and depth of research-backed, transparently-cited educational information.

Everything Bite Size Vegan provides is completely free: all of the videos, articles, and downloads are open to all, and speeches are delivered free of charge. All of the content and resources are purposefully tailored to modern methods of information consumption to increase access to right-to-know information that is otherwise buried under mountains of information, disinformation and misinformation, hidden behind paywalls, or requiring more time and/or research experience than many individuals have or can afford.

Because the issues surrounding and inherent to veganism are so important—yet so easily and quickly rejected—it’s vital that I present well-researched and documented information, which of course takes ample time and effort to produce!

With no paid staff, Bite Size Vegan truly relies entirely on the generous support of viewers and readers like you to continue its mission. If you’d like to learn more, please see the Donation FAQs below.

What Is the Impact?

Bite Size Vegan content has reached people in at least 224 Countries or Regions, been translated into at least 60 languages, and been used in classrooms in multiple US states as well as internationally. As of May 23, 2020, individuals around world have cumulatively spent 149 years, 29 days watching Bite Size Vegan educational content. Emily Moran Barwick has delivered speeches around the United States and internationally, writing and tailoring each individually to suit the specific audience.

From Emily: Over the years, I’ve received messages from people all over the world who’ve gone vegan because of Bite Size Vegan content and speeches. I’ve heard from everyone from 5-year-olds to 75-year-olds, entire families, and even the most hard-core militant meat-eaters (and in at least one case, adamant hunter!) I will never cease to be amazed by these stories of change.

While my primary intention with Bite Size Vegan was to reach non-vegans, I’ve heard from existing vegans who have—through the videos—found the confidence to speak up and take action for the animals. This has increased the impact of my own efforts exponentially, and I’m so grateful to each and every person who has raised their voice.

The best metric for Bite Size Vegan’s impact are these stories of change (opens in new tab).


Extended Donation FAQ

What is Bite Size Vegan's mission?

Bite Size Vegan simplifies the complexities of veganism through engaging and approachable educational content—creating new vegans and equipping existing vegans with the tools they need to get active.

Believing in the power of an informed public, Bite Size Vegan provides free, open-access to right-to-know information in a digestible format. Bite Size Vegan fills a unique space in vegan activism and advocacy by bringing together the accessibility of engaging social-media content with the integrity and depth of research-backed, transparently-cited educational information.

By helping people make the connection that veganism—far from an extreme way of life—is simply aligning our actions with the values we already have, Bite Size Vegan strives to end the pervasive exploitation of non-human animals.

What goes into running Bite Size Vegan?

Delivering researched content on a schedule suited for social media demands is profoundly challenging. A single video—along with its written and cited article—can take me over 200 hours or more to research, write, film, produce, and animate. Speeches, which I tailor for each individual audience, require months of intensive research and preparation.

Aside from the actual content production demands of Bite Size Vegan exist the countless requirements of running a digital media-based nonprofit organization. This includes everything from maintaining a growing website, to managing multiple social media platforms, to fielding thousands of comments, emails, and other communications, to ensuring compliance with federal and state nonprofit standards, to volunteer sourcing and management, to donor management and communication, and much, much more! It’s quite a lot for any one person.

So, why even approach educational activism in this manner? While I could significantly cut down the depth of research, standards for sources, and countless other aspects, the world already has enough “sound bites” and transient social-media snippets. What makes Bite Size Vegan’s workflow so demanding is the very thing that makes Bite Size Vegan unique in its field—bridging the gap between rigorous research and community accessibility.

What is Bite Size Vegan aiming to accomplish?

There is an ever-increasing amount of information available about veganism. However, assessing what’s misinformation, disinformation, and finding solid, primary, reliable sources in all of the “noise” is overwhelming to say the least! In addition, for many individuals, the concept of veganism often carries a “charge”, sparking defensiveness and resistance. This is perpetuated and exacerbated by a multitude of incomplete, conflicting, confusing or just plain nonfactual information. Even those interested in making a change are often left overwhelmed with where to start.

Bite Size Vegan was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to solid, factual information on issues impacting their health, our planet, society, and the lives of other sentient beings. The website, videos, resources and speeches serve to provide this access in formats tailored to modern methods of information consumption—digestible and approachable, yet backed by rigorous research.

Bite Size Vegan aims to serve as an “entry point” for non-vegans to explore veganism in an approachable, non-threatening environment—distilling down complex concepts into accessible formats while providing cited sources for total transparency and to allow further independent research and evaluation.

Simultaneously, Bite Size Vegan aims to serve as a source of teaching tools for current vegans and activists, providing them with reliable “go to” resources to use in their own activism, allowing them to focus more time on outreach.

By taking on the ample time requirements of researching the myriad of issues inherent within and surrounding veganism, as well as sorting through the ever-growing mountains of information, Bite Size Vegan aims to increase both the accessibility of veganism for non-vegans, and the efficiency and effectiveness of current vegans’ activism.

What strategies does Bite Size Vegan employ to accomplish its aims?

Bite Size Vegan content is purposefully tailored to modern methods of information consumption to increase access to right-to-know information that is otherwise buried under mountains of information, disinformation and misinformation, hidden behind paywalls, or requiring more time and/or research experience than many individuals have or can afford.
