Veganism

I understand veganism as a process and a commitment to living a life with compassion. Veganism is not a stable or unitary response to production and consumption, it is active and comprehensive in its consideration of how best to respond to the commodification and degradation of life that takes place in the contemporary context of agribusiness production. Veganism is not even just about animals, it’s about people, the producers, workers, transporters and sellers of food, it’s about the environment, it’s about our whole relationship to the big broad world out there.”

Biofuel

“[P]romoting biofuels as the solution to climate change[...] will just make the poor starve.”

Simple Answer

“Mark Bittman answered my prayers by writing an article exposing how the meat industry contributes to global warming, world hunger and other issues plaguing our world. But there is indeed a simple answer to these problems: Go vegan.”
