Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer
published a column today that’s really worth a read. The politically
conservative author and commentator whose column is syndicated in more
than 400 newspapers writes, of animals, that he’s “convinced that our
great-grandchildren will find it difficult
to believe that we actually raised, herded and slaughtered them on an
industrial scale — for the eating.”
While on the topic of op-eds, if you think taking
shorter showers is the cure for California’s drought problem, I offer
some thoughts for your consideration in an op-ed I published in the
Sacramento Bee this week.
And it was a big week for investigations, with
Compassion Over Killing releasing a North Carolina chicken slaughter exposé in the midst of a pending ag-gag bill there, and
Mercy For Animals releasing a Colorado pig factory exposé.
So it’s no surprise that interest in plant-based eating is on the rise, which is why Wendy’s is now
test marketing a black bean veggie burger in Ohio! Good thing the plant-based food companies are starting a
trade group, too.
P.S.
