“We cannot claim to care about the humane treatment of animals while continuing to eat meat regularly. The farming system we rely on is woven through with misery” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/opinion/coronavirus-meat-vegetarianism.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/2...

Our factory farming system is sick, cruel, and immoral https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/opinion/coronavirus-meat-vegetarianism.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/2...

Isn’t a movement away from meat elitist? No.

A 2015 study found that a vegetarian diet is $750/yr cheaper than meat-based diet. Ppl of color disproportionately self-identify as vegetarian and disproportionately are victims of factory farming’s brutality https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/opinion/coronavirus-meat-vegetarianism.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/2...

The slaughterhouse employees currently being put at risk to satisfy our taste for meat are overwhelmingly brown and black.

Suggesting that a cheaper, healthier, less exploitative way of farming is elitist is in fact a piece of industry propaganda. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/opinion/coronavirus-meat-vegetarianism.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/2...

It’s amazing to watch ppl quote tweet this thread and speculate on who they think vegans/vegetarians are and aren’t. It’s frankly gross and deluded. We should all be working to end exploitative factory farming, food deserts, and rework this broken system https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/opinion/coronavirus-meat-vegetarianism.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/2...
