The animal agriculture lobby exploits the news media’s tendency to falsely grant all viewpoints the same scientific legitimacy when reporting on controversial issues.

Half of the topsoil in the breadbasket of North America has been lost since 1900.
The authors find that widespread adoption of vegan diets would be – again, by far – the most effective approach.
Being vegan helps prevent the suffering of innocent animals, slows global warming, and benefits the environment in many additional ways....
