Important piece by @mikegrunwald.bsky.social. Food systems convos can get polarized between “boost yields” vs “reduce env. harms” vs “change consumption patterns.” The reality, as this piece describes, is that the 🌎 needs to do it all to feed 9-10 billion people while protecting nature & climate.

Every farm, even the scenic ones with red barns and rolling hills, is a kind of environmental crime scene, an echo of whatever wilderness it once replaced.

If you won't go vegan for the animals, maybe at least end your use of dairy for your own safety?

The nominee to take over the FBI has publicly published a list of innocent Americans he plans to target if given the power. This is more important than finger wagging about norms and traditions.
@timmiller.bsky.social published Kash Patel's "Executive Branch Deep State" list, originally an appendix to his "Government Gangsters" book, and posted it on xitter.
50+ current and former officials who Patel intends to target.
I'm on it, for my 3 months of government service.

In 2023, Canadians donated $53M on #GivingTuesday to charities (source shorturl.at/DgUXd). Sadly, a portion of that paid for cruel animal experiments bc orgs like Canadian Cancer Society and Heart & Stroke Foundation fund animal testing. This year give only to humane charities www.humanecharities.ca

P.s. chickens are reared in vast numbers in terrible conditions, whichever country you care to think about. More than 85% are reared in factory farms. Billions of them suffer unimaginably every year. The numbers keep rising. You should stop eating chickens and eggs.
