    It’s official! @gnrosenberg and I are writing a book! Feed The People will explore what a just, sustainable, and delicious food system should look like and what kind of politics and policies can get us there. Very excited to be working with Basic Books on this project.

    What can you even say about this?
    How many animals get slaughtered for meat every day? My new @OurWorldInData article is now online: ourworldindata.org/how-many-anima…

    All I have to say about the “Eastern Europeans are white people readily embraced by the West” debate is that people saying this have clearly never been immigrants from Eastern Europe to the West.

    When I say that the meat industry is, in quantitative terms, the single most violent institution in human history, I'm being literal. It is by numerous orders of magnitude worse than any other violence in human history.

    Complete silence from the anti-war, anti-imperialist, just asking questions crowd on torture videos. Where’s that Vogue magazine, speaking truth to power energy now?

    It seems a lot of people have seen Panorama on BBC, which is an important exposé on dairy production. It’s important to note that there is a standard industry playbook to respond to this. 1/x

    Sorry to be earnest on main, but given everything from the snow crab fisheries collapse to raging avian flu to the climate impact of beef and dairy through to the fact that everyone agrees that factory farms are an abomination, why does veganism still put so many people off?

    "Eating meat, it seems, is a socially acceptable form of science denial." @astradisastra, @TroyVettese and I wrote for the @guardian about the links between COVID-19 and modern agriculture, and what we need to do to change it.

    Are plant-based meat alternatives actually better for the environment than conventional meat? The science is clear that the answer is yes. In our latest for @voxdotcom, @matthewhayek & I take a deep dive into the impacts of meat and faux meat production.

    You might disagree with Animal Rebellion’s tactics, but the inconvenient truth is they’re right. The science is clear: we need to shift away from animal agriculture for planetary health. It’s time to take the vegans seriously. My latest for @newrepublic.

    “There are just two actions needed to prevent catastrophic climate breakdown: leave fossil fuels in the ground and stop farming animals. But, thanks to the power of the two industries, both aims are officially unmentionable.”
