I think people at least now, as opposed to ten-15-20 years ago, kind of get it, what is the bad food. I think, before, there was a time when they didn’t even get it that processed food was hurting them. Now, I think they get that, but the big enemies to switching over to good food are convenience.

Animal

Inspiration

Motivation

I’m not a vegetarian. Now, don’t get me wrong – I like animals. And I don’t think it’s just fine to industrialize their production and to churn them out like they were wrenches. But there’s no way to treat animals well when you’re killing 10 billion of them a year. Kindness might just be a bit of a red herring. Let’s get the numbers of animals we’re killing for eating down, and then we’ll worry about being nice to the ones that are left.

Thinking
