With California’s Prop 2 now in effect for more than a month, the 2008 campaign’s manager, Jennifer Fearing, offers thoughts in today’s
Sacramento Bee about the law.
You’ll recall the NY Times exposé of
taxpayer-funded torment of farm animals in truly depraved meat industry
experiments. Well, this week the largest paper in the biggest animal ag
state, the
Des Moines Register, editorialized against such research, saying “the USDA’s response to these findings has been less than
encouraging.”
Fast Company magazine named Hampton Creek one of the top 10 innovative companies in 2015!
And
NASDAQ published a powerful story, “How The ‘Death Of Meat’ Could
Impact Your Portfolio,” concluding that investors should “think twice
about holding long positions in meat industry stocks or exchange-traded
securities” because “meat consumption has been
steadily declining, which could play out into a huge profit potential.”
Happy Friday the 13th!
