WFAD: The Power of Your Food Choices with lauren Ornelas

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

While there are many other excellent environmental, social justice, and health reasons to support a plant-based diet, for me, that innocent third-party, the animal being served on the plate, is the most compelling reason. Statistics like "Every second, 269 chickens are killed in the U.S. for food" are mind-numbing in understanding how many animals die every day for other people's food choices.

 

Help us raise awareness and educate our community. Please bring your non-veg friends to learn more at the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA on Sunday, 10/1 at World Farm Animals Day. At 2 pm, there's an excellent presentation:
