Most people are decent people. That’s easy to forget when all we see on the news is the worst of people. A moral compass will point people in the right direction but it’s up to each of us to follow it. On learning the truth about animal ag, vegans had the courage to follow theirs. Join us. #GoVegan

Went outside to grab some salad fixin's for lunch and I continue to be amazed by the power of plants. I threw these collards in a pot, because I didn't have time to plant them in the garden. The Gardenstalk Tower remains ideal for leafy greens like bok choy, and the green beans keep coming! 🌱

When we mammals are born, we’re are fed milk from our mothers. Then we get weaned. Some of us humans can go on to producing lactase, the enzyme that digests lactose. Most can’t, which is normal since we’re not expected to ingest milk. “Lactose intolerance“ is really lactase non-persistence—normal!

The image depicts two young animals, a black and white goat and a piglet, peeking out adorably from a weathered wooden barrel in a lush green forest setting. The goat is on the right, with alert eyes and ears perked up, while the piglet on the left has a playful expression, looking directly at the camera. They both appear to be in a playful or curious pose, evoking a sense of happiness and the innocence of young animals in nature.

I eat plant based, organic and mainly native. I avoid food in plastics as far as possible. Transport is the smallest part of the food footprint. One can make a case for growing food natively without toxins and inputs and then shipping it. Coffee is from Africa but we grow it in South America. #Food

You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
“Eat local” is a common recommendation to reduce your diet's carbon footprint. How does the impact of what you eat compare to where it comes from?

There are no health reasons to drink milk (beyond our own mother’s). Abstaining from dairy products helps reduce the risk for breast and prostate cancer. It also reduces atrocious cruelty to animals 🐮 #cows #milk #dairy #TakePandemicsOffTheMenu #NonViolence #NotYourMomNotYourMilk #GetWeaned

The octopus has a tearful expression and the text above reads, **"PLEASE DON'T EAT ME."** The artwork is signed **"Just Comics / Joan Chan"** at the bottom. The image conveys a plea for compassion toward animals, specifically octopuses, and highlights the emotional aspect of considering animals as food.
