Well, Cory Booker has just made history by speaking on the Senate floor for 25 hours and 5 minutes. Did you know that he is also one of my favourite politicians ever? Not least of reasons why is because he has always put compassion for others first, has been vegan for over 10 years, and is not shy about discussing it in public. This interview is worth a read.

I’m proud to stand up with non-vegans, with meat-eaters who agree with me that we should be compassionate and stop animal cruelty, who agree with me that the overuse of antibiotics is one of greatest threats to humanity because of super viruses, that agree with me that we have a real environmental challenge if more and more people are going to be eating what is considered now to be the Standard American Diet.

humanity:

*cramming as many billions of birds in close confines as they can while devouring their flesh and secretions*

if only there was something we could do about this upcoming bird flu pandemic

A century ago, the average American chicken flock contained 70 birds. It was a time of backyard coops and small farmers, before consolidation and vertical integration and the methods that accompanied them. Nowadays the 9 billion chickens slaughtered for meat each year in the U.S. are raised in buildings containing, on average, 20,000 or more birds, with roughly one square foot of space apiece.

“If we wanted to design how to make great virulence, this would be how.”
