Paul Thomas Anderson just won his first #Oscar 🏆✨ Congratulations to the proud vegan and visionary filmmaker, who proves that brilliance and vegan living go hand in hand.

@JohnOberg 100%

Most of my work for animals these days takes place on social media, behind a phone or computer screen. So it takes a little more effort to get out into nature but when I do, it's great. Everyone needs to touch grass occasionally to get yourself grounded. 🌱

@TCUBasketball Excited to root for the Frogs in the tournament!

Selection Sunday MOOD😤 Tune in at 5 PM on CBS #GoFrogs

Maybe the most important thing to understand about the way meat is produced: Its shocking inefficiency. To produce 1 calorie of chicken, it takes about 9 calories of feed. And chicken is the most efficient animal we eat. Beef is even less efficient. We grow crops like corn and soy. We feed those crops to animals. More than 9 out of 10 of those calories are burned off by farm animals, simply existing. Since 1991, global meat consumption has more than doubled. That inexorable rise in consumption, every single year, will continue. That inefficiency is the root of meat’s contribution to hunger and a range of environmental harms, including climate change. I dive into the macroeconomics of meat in chapters 1 and 2 of my new book Meat. Find out more: MeatBook.org

Heads up: corporate agribusiness has formed a new "think tank" called the "Center for American Food Power" to justify the cruelest and most polluting factory farming practices in the name of "national security."

Today, we won! 🦆💜 After years of legal battles, organizing, and refusing to back down, New York City’s ban on the sale of foie gras has been upheld by the state’s Appellate Division — and we couldn’t be prouder of every single person who made this moment possible. VFAR is a proposed intervenor-appellant and an amicus curiae in the case. Read more on our blog! vfar.org/duck-yeah-new-…

BREAKING NEWS!! WE WON!! #DUCKYEAH!! HISTORY MADE IN NYC! 🦆✨ Today we celebrate a ground‑breaking victory for animal protection: Voters for Animal Rights and New York City have won their lawsuit against the foie gras industry, and the ban is officially in effect! This isn’t just a legal win — it’s a historic moment in the movement for compassion. NYC is now leading the way by standing up to one of the most cruel and outdated practices in the food world. “Voters For Animal Rights is overjoyed with this historic victory for animals and grateful that New York City’s right to govern itself remains intact,” said Allie Taylor, President of Voters For Animal Rights (VFAR). "Today’s ruling not only upholds the city’s ability to make decisions in the best interest of its residents, human and nonhuman alike, but also shows the power of citizens coming together for justice and compassion. This is a momentous step forward in creating a kinder, more humane world and it proves that meaningful change is possible when people refuse to accept cruelty as the status quo." This win belongs to every advocate, supporter, volunteer, and compassionate voter who refused to accept cruelty as the status quo. 💜🐥

@KennyTorrella Awful. Unfortunately @EnvDefenseFund has too often aligned with factory farming interests.

Environmental Defense Fund joined the fish factory farm + livestock feed lobby to call for piloting US offshore fish factory farming 🫠

For four days this site has blown up over the farm bill provision to keep pigs locked up in gestation crates. 50K+ people have posted about it. Yet its sponsors remain silent. @RepAshleyHinson has been posting about the Congressional Art Competition. @CongressmanGT has stopped posting entirely. Why? They know they can't defend this. They claimed it would help small family farms. But small family farmers are posting that they oppose it. They claimed it would help American producers. But the industrial pork industrial is dominated by two foreign-owned corporations: Smithfield and JBS. They claimed only liberals care about animal welfare. But conservatives like @Cernovich and @TomiLahren have been among the strongest voices opposing it. They never even pretended this is what most citizens want. It's lawmaking of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists, for the lobbyists. They were really just hoping you wouldn't notice this buried deep in the farm bill. Now they're hoping you'll forget about it. Prove them wrong.

Beware, The Frogs O' March! #GoFrogs

KFC, Nando's, and other top UK fast food chains just scrapped their pledges to stop using "Frankenchickens." Their excuse? The climate. They claim switching to higher-welfare breeds would raise emissions. And it's true — Frankenchickens do emit less. You can’t burn energy moving if you’re too lame to walk. But the difference is tiny. Adopting the full Better Chicken Commitment — including phasing out Frankenchickens — would increase emissions by just 11% (Van Horne et al., 2025). That’s ~0.5 kg CO₂ per chicken — equivalent to about one bite of steak or 30 seconds of flying. On carbon markets, they could have offset this for ~3 pence (4 cents) per chicken. Meanwhile, the animal welfare reforms they abandoned would spare each chicken 100+ hours of “hurtful” and “disabling” pain over their short lives (Welfare Footprint Project, 2022). So either Nando’s, KFC, and the others are terrible at scope-sensitive trade-offs — or this was never really about the climate.
