Needless to say, jamming deformed, drugged, overstressed birds together in a filthy, waste-coated room is not very healthy. Beyond deformities, eye damage, blindness, bacterial infections of bones, slipped vertebrae, paralysis, internal bleeding, anemia, slipped tendons, twisted lower legs and necks, respiratory diseases, and weakened immune systems are frequent and long-standing problems on factory farms. ↗

We can't plead ignorance, only indifference. Those alive today are the generations that came to know better. We have the burden and the opportunity of living in the moment when the critique of factory farming broke into the popular consciousness. We are the ones of whom it will be fairly asked, What did you do when you learned the truth about eating animals? ↗

I just became a vegetable for three months. I couldn't talk to people. I was very ill and that was part of the reason I left college. ↗

I grow my own vegetables and herbs. I like being able to tell people that the lunch I'm serving started out as a seed in my yard. ↗

A vegan diet takes care of most of what we need to do. But you'll also want to minimize the use of oils generally, because while olive oil and other vegetable oils are better for your heart than chicken fat, they are as fattening as animal fats. ↗

We are all vegetarians here, and except for a mountain lion that's been hanging around and killed our dog, we don't have a care in the world. ↗
