Sprout Power: Boost Digestion, Protein, and Energy with Homemade Lentils Learn how easy and affordable sprouting lentils at home can be, while boosting digestion and protein absorption

Studies have found that sprouting legumes such as lentils increases nutrient availability.

One of the better parts of human nature is our capacity for empathy, compassion, feeling for others. Unfortunately, this has been suppressed, stifled by a warrior culture and by a worldview that deems it necessary to mass slaughter animals for food.

Working on an Animal Law Podcast episode for @ourhenhouse.org on this case.

This is worth a read. The meat industry, as has been documented, is involved in all sorts of disinfo campaigns, including online posting and trolling.

Of course, take this person's identity with a grain of salt since it's reddit, but I have met people who do this.

Thanks so much for having this conversation, @dorfonlaw.bsky.social. I learned a lot. There are so many different ways to approach teaching students about animals and the law and we desperately need all of them.

The Internet Loves These “Gay Sheep.” The Real Story Is Much Darker. A much-hyped fashion show with wool from “gay rams” obscures the brutal reality of an industry that exploits sheep sexuality at every turn.

Two weeks ago, Grindr put on a fashion show of wool from "gay" rams rescued from slaughter. The media and the Internet swooned. But this feel-good story is a window into the dark role of forced reproduction in animal agriculture.

The EVERY Co has raised $55M ahead of a major Walmart rollout that will bring products featuring its animal-free egg proteins Why are companies buying in? Not just the climate benefits—but basic economics. After years of volatility, "food manufacturers just want a stable and secure supply of eggs."

Fully agreed on all points.

Perhaps Donald Trump had his biggest impact on the world this way:

He’s made climate apathy & support for fossil fuels seem “acceptable” to what seems to be at least a third of humans globally, if not more.

And that exhausts sensible people who then just choose silence

❗BREAKING: CPS drops Grand National Crown Court case after juries refused to convict horse protectors.

The National School Lunch Program accounts for roughly 7.5% of U.S. fluid milk sales.

What made you become a conscientious objector to the dairy industry?

Some dairy industry facts:

The average lifespan of a U.S. dairy cow is 2.5 lactations.

A 2014 study of 45 herds in the U.S. Northwest found that 21% of cows had a gait abnormality (clinical lameness ~4%) in those herds.

8 million turkeys will be thrown in the trash this Thanksgiving We don’t have to accept all that death and waste for a dry, flavorless bird no one likes.

Turkeys are flavorless and dry, and they want to live. This Thanksgiving, @mbolotnikova.bsky.social encourages you to challenge the status quo and embrace plant-based alternatives, have conversations about ethical food choices, and create more sustainable and compassionate traditions.

"Articulate, informative, exceptional, iconoclastic, thoughtful and thought-provoking. An extraordinary and timely contribution to the on-going discussion about the ethics of eating...animals."

This speech concerns the horrid tragedy of speciesism — the form of discrimination almost no one notices or talks about. It affects billions of victims every year, and the way they suffer is… This might be the most important video you will ever see. Please spread it

This 5-minute video on speciesism and veganism made by Yulia Kravchuk, a Ukrainian high school student, gives me confidence that the struggle will be carried on by future generations, even when their countries have serious problems, as Ukraine surely does, right now.

Spread the word!

The surprisingly profound debate over whether fish feel pain We can never prove that other animals are conscious. What do we do with that?

This Vox article highlights growing evidence that fish may experience pain. Fishes and shrimp are too often left out of the animal welfare conversation. The article shows why their wellbeing matters and why supporting aquatic animal advocacy is so impactful. https://bit.ly/fish-pain-debate

Religion and non-religion both lead to the same conclusion -- if God made them sentient, we shouldn't harm them. If this world is all there is and they just happened by some extraordinary combination of circumstances to become sentient, we shouldn't harm them!!

Today, I took ten minutes to give my feedback to the EU about farmed animal welfare standards.

Making sure my voice is heard can go a long way in protecting animal welfare standards! You should contribute too!

New archaeological research from the UAE & Oman is reshaping our understanding of Bronze Age #diets revealing #plantbased eating was far more prevalent than previously thought.
