The meat, dairy, and egg industries would like you to believe that their products are safe and nutritious. The fact is that you can get all the nutrition you need from a plant-based diet while avoiding the health hazards associated with eating animal-based foods.
The meat, dairy, and egg industries would like you to imagine farmed animals living happy lives before going to a painless death. The fact is that most farmed animals lead lives of unrelenting misery before being subjected to a painful and terrifying death.
The meat, dairy, and egg industries would like you to believe that they are responsible corporate citizens or, even better, small family farmers. The truth is that those industries pollute the environment, violate the rights of workers, and create the conditions that make life difficult for farm families.
Before you give any more of your hard-earned money to the meat, dairy, and egg industries, get the facts about their products and how they are produced. Then you can make up your own mind about whether it is healthy or ethical to support their practices with your grocery money.
