All farming is atrocious, but fish farming is its own special evil. 💔

Salmon with shredded faces. Rotting alive in cages. This is what’s happening right now at Bakkafrost’s Portree farm on the Isle of Skye — and it must be shut down 🐟

📍 The evidence is clear.
⚠️ The suffering is extreme.

Eating without insisting there be animals on my plate is so liberating.

If I can do it, you can too!

The animal agriculture industry at its core is all about profits, and torture and killing of animals is just a means to that end. The more people #GoVegan the lesser the demand for animal products and the greater demand for plant based products. If we #LiveVegan they’ll follow the money.

Poor & marginalised groups are targeted with cheap fast food & processed meat. Diet-related disease is a justice issue.

This is a big WIN for cats in CA!
It’s true that cats like to scratch and sharpen their claws on furniture.
But a declawed cat that escapes outside is doomed. A cat cannot climb to safety without claws.

If humans don’t wake up and as quickly as possible run away from the antiquated idea that everything on the planet is here for humans to squander however they like, our children, grandchildren, and all future generations will suffer serious consequences.

Like. . . the answer to this racist shit is not “eat less pork.”

This is evil and should be stopped, not “demand tamped down.”

Vegan protein isn’t complicated.
Science has taught us that protein can be found in many plant foods.

Whole grains plus legumes are a perfect example of creating a plant-based complete protein, but need not be eaten together.

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient that is a powerful antioxidant. This fat soluble vitamin is found in seeds and nuts, especially sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Vitamin E is important for healthy skin, eyesight, and a healthy nervous system.

Not all carbs are equal.
Simple sugars and syrups can upset your metabolism, encourage weight gain & provide little nutrition.
But whole grains and complex carbs in fruit, grains, legumes & vegetables can help you lose weight, improve metabolism & provide so many nutrients.
