In a @nytimes story, writer @SophieHaigney investigates the bizarre world of "dark nutrition," examining what eating raw meat, animal organs and road kill means for human health, identity and culture. @carolynryan@marclacey - What about what it means for the animals, whose bodies are central to this diet?
@VegMediaWatch@MensHealthMag@Paul_Kita@benhdc How about just not eating cancer-causing cold cuts? @Paul_Kita and @MensHealthMag - processed meat is officially a level 1 carcinogen! Are you in a race to develop cigarettes that don't cause cancer? No! We tell people: stop smoking. Well, stop eating this crap is the answer!

@VegMediaWatch@AP@JuliePace@ayfurman@CuestaKline Why the blind spot when it comes to animal suffering @AP? Why do you consider cows and other animals trapped in industrialized agriculture to be victims unworthy of your compassion? You should look back in shame at your own prejudices... starting today. Please evolve.
The @AP reports that meat consumption is a campaign issue in the upcoming midterm elections. In his story, political writer Nicholas Riccardi examines the perspective of all key stakeholders - except for one: the animals whose lives are at stake. cc: @JuliePace@ayfurman
It's sad that the @nytimes has such a speciesist attitude toward animals. This was a missed opportunity to move the conversation forward. The false assumption that some sentient beings are "unworthy victims" is at the heart of our culture's toxicity. The essence of all evil is that some suffering doesn't count.
