Some good points, though I'm not as optimistic of the future. Getting others to recognize what is contemptible about factory farming is worthwhile, but it should go further and also show how corporations and governments are involved and how the greed and immoral mentality behind their practices are destroying the planet.
"Selling the contempt" of the factory farm industry might have worked in 2007, but in 2011, it's only caused people who COULD HAVE turned vegan into meat eaters who buy free-range, locally farmed animals. That approach is counter-productive because you've allowed people to justify eating "humane meat".
Brilliant. This man has such great energy and wise words for us it's really incredible. He's right though, we should really be focusing on long-term change and numbers.
Right on Erik !! I only we had your twin you in France na .. Great talk show..Hopefully you'll get over to Europe some day. Thanks for sharing that precious time with us. A.
