If you happen to attend a county-sponsored event in Minneapolis, chances are that all or at least most of the food will be vegan. All country events will serve plant-based food. Organizers can request additional animal-based products in addition, but vegan foods will be front and center by default.

There are a lot of bad people who exploit people's love of dogs by raising purebred puppies in horrible filthy conditions and then selling them for exorbitant prices to puppy lovers. Fortunately, there are also a lot of good people working to shut these criminal enterprises down.

The people of The Netherlands ring in the New Year with lots of fireworks. This is fun, but it's terrifying for countless companion animals as well as wild animals, small children and people who suffer from PTSD. Now, the government of The Netherlands has banned the use of private fireworks.

Most people who eat eggs want to believe that hens live in cushy barns and spend most of their days frolicking through a bucolic landscape. That vision is far from reality. Egg-laying hens spend their entire lives in massive ammonia-choked barns that each hold 100,000 or more other hens.

Artifacts and other research suggests that our ancestors were grinding wild seeds, pounding and cooking starchy tubers and detoxifying bitter nuts thousands of generations earlier than previously believed.

One of the world's largest and most easily correctable sources of methane production is animal agriculture, particularly the waste products of beef and dairy production. We simply cannot solve the climate crisis without a wholesale shift away from animal consumption.

The ongoing global recovery of the green turtle is a powerful example of what coordinated global conservation over decades can achieve to stabilize and even restore populations of long-lived marine species.

The host with the most knows to serve the roast with the most which is certainly plant-based. Your Thanksgiving guests deserve no less.

What happens when families with companion animals split up? In most cases, these animals have been considered property to be divided like glassware or television sets. Now Spain has passed a law that the needs of companion animals must be considered in divorce proceedings.

E. coli and other disease causing bacteria are swarming through slaughterhouses throughout the world. Many of these bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotic drugs. This means that antibiotics we rely upon to cure diseases simply don't work anymore.

A new Oxford study published in The Lancet shows that a worldwide shift to a plant-based diet would require up to 56 million more workers to meet global demand, while disinvesting from the meat and dairy industries would save as much as $995 million.

Whole Foods Market just published Food Trends Report that predicts that high fiber foods will be a hot trend for 2026. That's great because all fiber comes from plant foods and high fiber foods are essential for digestive health. They also taste great!

Fiber is probably the most important part of a healthy diet and is essential for a high functioning digestive tract. Plus high fiber foods are some of the most delicious –berries, peppers, apples, avocados and so much more. Treat your gut with some delicious and life-giving fiber.

Horse racing is a deeply cruel and anachronistic sport that should have absolutely no place in the 21st Century. Hundreds of racehorses die painfully each year from injuries due to overworking and forced drug use. It is time for this bloodsport to be put out to pasture forever.

California has just joined New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island in banning the practice, which is also illegal in 40 countries and dozens of American cities. If you live with a cat and you have considered declawing them, please don't.

The meals consumed by a typical American family cause more greenhouse gases than all of the energy used to heat, cool and power their home. Meat production, particularly beef and dairy, is one of the leading cause of climate change – greater than the entire transportation sector.

The owner's request was not completely unreasonable, and the police did rescue as many piglets as they could. But they also sought to protect the meat industry by keeping the press at bay. And those pigs that survived still went to the industrial farm and then to the slaughterhouse six months later.

A new comprehensive study from the EAT Lancet Commission concluded that unless most on the people in the wealthier countries adopt a mostly plant-based diet, the worst effects of climate change will be unavoidable, even if humans successfully switch to cleaner energy.
