Factory Farms: Destroying the Heartland

How You Can Help

Factory farms have a devastating impact on the well-being of their neighbors. Clearly, the animal flesh, dairy, and egg industries are more concerned about making a profit than they are about promoting a healthy environment for people and animals. Unfortunately, state and local governments are beholden to the industries that fill their campaign coffers and promise lucrative post-retirement jobs. But, you don’t have to wait for Washington to act—you can help everyone be healthier and happier by not supporting factory farms. Adopting a vegan diet is the best way to stop these exploitative industries and promote a world of compassion. Order a free vegetarian starter kit and learn more ways to get involved.
