“Boycotting this monstrous abuse of billions of animals each year is a powerful reason for not eating meat, but the outsize contribution of meat and dairy products to #climatechange is for me now an equally urgent part of shifting to a plant-based diet.”- @PeterSinger in @nytimes
What is comfort food but the blessing of the familiar, a reminder that sometimes we require nothing more of a meal than that it nourishes us?https://t.co/WscLne5Slk
BREAKING: The meat industry lobbied to have the @IPCC_CH remove their recommendation of a plant-based diet to cut 50% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to a leaked draft of an earlier report.
Spring forward 🌸 🍃 and turn over a new leaf for your health, the animals, and the planet by choosing #plantbased, #meatless and vegan food options at every meal! #MeatOut#MeatLessMonday
See what’s ahead for @NYCschools meals this semester: https://t.co/a2neHnMA8K. Brand new menu items including BBQ Veggie Burgers, Teriyaki Veggie Nuggets, and Sweet Potato Gumbo will be served to students citywide!
And that's why CO2 emissions drop like a stone if you follow a vegetarian or a vegan diet.
We need a massive shift towards more plant-based diets, especially in rich meat-eating countries.

Happy #SquirrelAppreciationDay ! On the squirrel calendar, this holiday is actually called Dig It Up! Day. Squirrels celebrate by visiting hundreds of spots where they have cached food and then chowing down. A few former patients demonstrate the traditional customs.
Heartbreaking loss, but the @Giants gave their all and will be back next year. On behalf of our city, thank you for a great season.
@PhillyMayor, enjoy the vegan cheesecake AND vegan cheesesteak with my compliments and good luck to the @Eagles next week!
“‘The legislative record reflects a decision by the city that it values animal welfare over a luxury food item that requires force-feeding of birds,’ the city Law Department argued last week in a Manhattan Supreme Court filing to get the ban back on the table.”
"Protein remains the part of the plant-based diet that non-vegans seem most skeptical about, despite there being multiple good sources — from legumes, quinoa, chia seeds, and nuts to tempeh and even some vegetables, such as broccoli and sprouts."

Mega release! After the deep freeze that gripped the city for a week over the holidays, we had a LOT of pigeons literally cooped up waiting for freedom. Once the weather warmed, our team released 46!
