Ed Winters Quote: “Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in and simultaneously contribute to addressing many of the most pressing issues that our species currently faces: climate change, infectious disease, chronic disease, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation.

Ed Winters Quote: “Is it not strange that we call those who kill dogs animal abusers, those who kill pigs normal and those who kill neither extremists?
