With landmark decisions approaching this year, Europe stands at a crossroads. Selling out citizens to tech giants would be an unforgivable mistake.
Plant-based diets could save 129 million years of human life, according to the University of Oxford. Every single year!
βAnyone who says that life matters less to animals than it does to us has not held in their hands an animal fighting for its life. The whole of the being of the animal is thrown into that fight without reserve.β

At the same time, a recent Foodrise report revealed that the EU pays 580 times more in subsidies for beef than for legumes. How do they expect this to work out?
What an absolute nightmare.
βI canβt understand why if we donβt eat the dog I should eat a burger. I love animals, and I stand by my values.β β Kristen Bell (2012)
βWe no longer need fur for warmth and protection. There are plenty of textiles that provide that today. Itβs pure whim and vanity to choose to wear fur. It shows a level of ignorance or lack of concern that reflects poorly on the wearer.β

Many don't care about the animals who suffer for their consumption. But more and more people do. And every single one of them gives me hope.

Lead by example, act with hope, and prove that fear and old patterns donβt have to define everyone.
A financial time bomb is ticking in animal agriculture. Investors may be underestimating the blast radius.
New research explains whyΒ π

None of this is necessary. Don't pay for it.
Thinking this is wrong isnβt radical.
Thinking it isnβt is.
Yes β considering agriculture accounts for 98% of all human land use, this is as momentous as it sounds.
A society that fears compassion has lost its moral compass.

βThe advantages of PLANT-BASED milks are so overwhelming and so well-documented that it would be almost comical that anyone still consumes #dairy β if the consequences werenβt so seriousβ
Every single dollar given to this industry is a profound moral failure.

It shouldn't be a tough choice. It's very easy to be vegan these days. #StopEatingAnimals
"Choosing veganism isnβt about perfection, nor is it a sacrifice. Itβs a tangible way to align your values with your actions, to withdraw your support from systems of harm, and to make a stand for a kinder, more compassionate world. Isnβt that what peace is all about?"
Itβs crazy to live in a society where there is near-unanimous consensus that animal abuse is wrong, yet most people still actively support the largest and worst system of animal abuse this planet has ever known β without the slightest necessity.
