People who follow a plant-based diet account for 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than those who eat more than 3.5 ounces of meat a day, according to new research. A vegan diet also results in significantly less harm to land, water and biodiversity. nyti.ms/3OmbsFE

Our 2022 consumer survey shows that two-thirds of Americans would eat #labgrownmeat. Would you? Why or why not?

LA found a provocative message on billboards this week. The question “is this #kosher?” displays the farmed animals behind Jewish comfort foods many hold dear like fish, namely salmon (lox), all of whom are #factoryfarmed or industrially fished. isthiskosher.org

Thanks to our sister organization, Jewish Initiative for Animals (@JIFAnimals), new billboards across Los Angeles are asking residents “is this #kosher?” The food in question: matzah ball soup that usually contains chickens, 99% of whom are #factoryfarmed. isthiskosher.org

Though kosher certification regulates slaughter, it’s not how animals die that qualifies them as “factory farmed”—it’s the conditions they were forced to live in.
