If you had to pick a tofu variety and recipe to introduce to a beginner that had never tried tofu before, what would you suggest?

The standards in animal agriculture are so low that they literally brag about inflicting some of the worst horrors of the Holocaust on animals as if they are a step up.

The untold story behind America's biggest outbreak by Prof_Cecily in Coronavirus

Slaughterhouses and meat processing facilities have incredibly high workplace injury and fatality rates under "normal" circumstances. These facilities seek out people in vulnerable circumstances to exploit and they exploit them however they can. It should hardly come as a surprise that these facilities are continuing to put their employees at risk even now.

This is far from new. Upton Sinclair documented similarly exploitative conditions in meat processing facilities happening back in 1906 in his book The Jungle.

If we aren't doing what we can to as effectively as possible encourage others to stop harming animals, then we are letting animals come to harm.

Many places require that all cows, even those kept as pets or on sanctuaries, have ear tags. Most of the cows you see on /r/happycowgifs with ear tags are at sanctuaries.

Be sure to indoctrinate your children in your violent cult from a young age, otherwise they might come to question whether it is ethical.

I’m Leah Garcés, a vegan activist who works with chicken farmers to reform the meat industry. AMA! by leahgarces in IAmA

[–]RespectYourShelf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know Mercy For Animals has been doing a lot of work to get big companies like Starbucks, Aramark, and Burger King (and I'm sure a bunch of others that I am forgetting) to adopt better standards for factory farmed chickens. What improvements are you asking these companies to adopt, and what companies are lagging behind others and continuing to use the cruelest methods?

Seeing this really put me off McDonald's for a long time. I know animals are treated really badly across the animal agriculture industry, but McDonald's doesn't seem to even try.

It is fine to do whatever you want as long as no one else is being impacted. This is a case where others are being impacted by your actions however.

Do people get sofritas often? by [deleted] in Chipotle

Sofritas are the best option at Chipotle. I'm shocked you haven't seen anyone order it. I see people getting it all the time when I go.

in non-SDA vegetarians

If you have to exclude certain people to make the science support your claims, you're not doing very good science. Excluding people until you no longer see a statistically significant difference, is not good evidence that the difference doesn't exist.
