Eliminating the consumption of animal products is one of the most powerful ways an individual can help the environment. A study by the University of Chicago found that consuming no animal products is 50% more effective at fighting climate disruption than switching from a standard car to a hybrid.

The next time you’re assessing a food’s ecological footprint, be sure to remember: organic is important, local is good, but VEGAN IS BEST. Living vegan is by far the most ecological personal choice we can make.

When people hear that "factory farming" is cruel, they may now reach for cage-free, free-range, and the other humanewashing labels. Producers who sell meat, dairy, and eggs advertise that their product is NOT factory farmed; claiming it’s cage-free . . . local . . . humane . . .sustainable . . . etc.

When consumers hear these offensive two words, "facotry farm" they think, “Oh, but my eggs aren't factory farmed, I buy them at the farmers market” (or “it’s organic,” or “it’s free-range,” etc.).

Don't buy the lie. Vegan is the only truly humane option.

Tapping into fandom with animal protection and vegan messages, The Protego Foundation accesses sci-fi, fantasy, and other devoted fan communities to advocate for animals. Our guest is Brittany Drake, campaigns director for The Protego Foundation. Brittany talks about the foundation’s creative campaigns such as getting vegan butter beer offered at the Harry Potter theme parks, a Game of Thrones inspired campaign encouraging vendors at fan conventions not to use wild animals as props for photos, and their latest campaign around the release of the movie sequel, Wicked For Good.

Brittany and Hope go on to talk about the animal rights and vegan themes in numerous movies and television entertainment, unpacking the animal personhood vision of Wicked, the strong animal characters in The Wizard of Oz, disturbing animal eating parallels in Stargate Atlantis, and vegetarianism in Avatar: The Last Airbender. They also talk about how the use of fictional creatures and characters can garner an audience's imagination and empathy for animals.

There is no peer-reviewed science that show that regenerative grazing / rotational grazing, whatever you want to call it, is better for greenhouse gas emissions than conventional grazing systems. They also cause wildlife disruption with excessive fencing.

According to numerous studies from Oxford, Harvard, Washington State University, etc., grass-fed beef can produce 50 to 60 percent MORE greenhouse gas emissions than conventional farming. "Grass-fed" products required more land, more water, more fossil fuels and produced the most greenhouse gasses. This is a situation where the label is not just neutral greenwashing, its worse!

Regenerative grazing is the equivalent of "clean coal." Free-range, grass-fed, rotational grazing is something consumers want to believe is better, but it just doesn't hold water scientifically.

Sea "food" is Sea LIFE! Taking sea creatures from the oceans to be brutally killed is just another form of hunting. If you are against going into animal's homes and killing them for no reason, then you should also be against fishing. It's the same thing. Let sea life live and live vegan.

Cage-free eggs are now available at most grocery stores, a muffin lists cage-free eggs in the ingredients, and a restaurant touts cage-free omelettes on their menu. Is this a win for hens? We crack into this question with Amber Canavan examining PETA’s new white paper on cage-free egg systems.

Amber shared why PETA released this white paper, how cage-free facilities can actually create new and worse conditions for hens, and how humanewashing eases consumers concerns about the treatment of farmed animals. Amber and Hope both share first hand experience of witnessing cage-free facilities and the reality of cage-free egg farming.
