Yeah actually, I have. Thank you so much for asking

This article gets at what a lot of us in enviro and food studies have been raging against for years. There is a virtual scholarly consensus on the need for a dietary shift, but media frequently cover a few loud deniers or present the issue as intractably complicated.

Disappointed that UK govt plans to scrap proposed bans on foie gras and fur imports.

It takes ~100 days of suffering to make one foie gras liver and >1000 days to make a fur coat.

But it takes just 1 day to unwind all the progress to alleviate that suffering.

As a cancer researcher it always hurts me that we don't address the root cause of diseases.

How you feel when a parent lets their child smoke is how I feel when I see them feeding children animal products.

Tobacco & processed meat are group 1 carcinogenic: they CAUSE cancer!!

Greyhound live baiting, ex-racehorses sent to pet food factories, sickening cruelty in slaughterhouses. The public has a right to know.

The NSW Surveillance Devices Act has profound consequences for publishers. A media outlet needs to challenge this law.

'More cattle, lower beef prices, and thus even higher emissions than before, all masked by the promise that mass-scale animal agriculture can be sustainable with a few tweaks like feeding livestock seaweed.'

We need to tackle the cow in the room head-on:

As much as 22% of the world's protein needs could be met by alternative sources including plant-based meats and insects by 2035. That's according to the CSIRO's decadal megatrends report published today.

This is not “the new normal”. The climate crisis will continue to escalate and get worse as long as we stick our heads in the sand and prioritise profit and greed over people and planet. We are still sleepwalking towards the edge.

[Prof. Gary Francione @garylfrancione]

A massive shift to veganism may not be sufficient to avert climate catastrophe but, as a practical matter, it is certainly necessary. Adopting a vegan diet is the one thing we can do right now. It does not involve any technological innovation, legislation or government regulation

Any fool in >40°C heat can see that 2050 is too late for net zero.

By all means invest in @tesla, wind turbines, carbon-negative cement and solar. But if you want the biggest positive impact, invest in plant-based meat, says @BCG. https://t.co/82El25M4cN

Just a reminder.

[Adin Lang @lang_adin]

Feral cats kill about 3.2 million mammals, 1.2 million birds, 1.9 million reptiles and 250,000 frogs per day in Australia, most of which are native species. They have been a main driver of 27 animal extinctions in Australia. https://t.co/VIopvDIUnP

As the livestock industry comes under pressure, we're seeing the start of a massive pushback in the billionaire press, using the same tactics as tobacco and fossil fuels have used: denial, junk science, front groups and sock puppets - the whole playbook.
