Tammi Jonas spent 10 years as a vegetarian.

Coming from a cattle ranching family in Oregon, in the US, it wasn't exactly a smooth decision to make.

Her decision to go vego came after she read Australian author Peter Singer's book Animal Liberation. In her view, the book detailed the horrible things done to pigs and poultry in sheds.

Tammi's now speaking out about factory farming and the way animals are bred in captivity in the US, as the spokeswoman for a new documentary, Eating Animals.

The documentary, based on a book of the same name and narrated by Natalie Portman, aims to highlight the cruelty of factory farming and pushes for more traditional, sustainable and ethical farming practices.
