Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful–Farm Sanctuary’s Gene Baur On America’s Diet Shift
“Tragically, the way most Americans eat, food is more like poison, making us sick and killing us prematurely. Heart disease and cancer are the nation’s top killers, and the risks of both can be reduced by eating plants instead of animal products. Removing meat, milk and eggs from the menu also prevents animal suffering and goes a long way toward lightening our environmental footprint. People are finally recognizing the profound impacts of their food choices, and we are now in the midst of a burgeoning food movement.”
—Gene Baur, co-founder and president of Farm Sanctuary. Baur just wrapped up a cross-country tour named “Just Eats,” where he traveled across the U.S. sharing the joy of vegan food.

After a controversy over doping, three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador has decided it’s just not worth it to have a steak here and there.
The newly vegetarian cyclist tested positive for a banned drug that is used in the livestock industry to accelerate growth in cattle. He blamed it on tainted meat he and his teammates ate while on the road and was later cleared of charges.
