Something I never understand: why is it so hard for the left to care more about animals?
This video will probably get fewer likes than my posts on taxing billionaires. That difference says it all. Factory farming only survives if we don’t look. It’s time to hold these companies accountable. Every donation is matched, so $1 becomes $2 through Dec 31, 2025. Donate: MoralAmbition.org/food

I don't blame Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson for my wife's long COVID.
Nor do I blame him for her needing to use a wheelchair to get through an airport with chronic fatigue.
However, it's unforgivable that Johnson doesn't understand the role of COVID or his failures in the pandemic.

For over three years long COVID has had a devastating impact on my wife.
She tried everything, and there's been a slight recovery over the years.
Something remarkable has happened. In her 3 trimester of pregnancy her energy increased.
Now, with a young baby, symptoms have almost entirely gone.

An essential thread that addresses the myths and self deceptions behind common ethical, environmental, or welfare reasons people give to justify their animal protein laced diet.
1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵
For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type.
By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.

Okay, this has its flaws, but it's a an incentive and compensation to people who are not part of the problem.
