Today is #WorldFarmAnimalsDay, a day devoted to the memory of the billions of animals raised and killed for food every year.

This year, we acknowledge the new levels of preventable animal suffering caused globally by animal farming and consumption throughout 2020. 1/11 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
Though the disruption of meat supply led to increased interest in meat alternatives, global meat consumption is rising.

India, for example, continues to shift from vegetarian to meat-heavier diets leading to more animals raised and killed for food. 5/11 https://sentientmedia.org/in-veg-friendly-india-meat-consumption-is-on-the-rise/">https://sentientmedia.org/in-veg-fr...
Further, fast-food chains, supermarkets, and other corporations continue adding plant-based alternatives to their product range.

This week, @Tesco, the UK’s largest supermarket, committed to increasing sales of meat alternatives by 300% by 2025. 10/11 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/sep/29/tesco-sets-300-per-cent-sales-target-for-plant-based-alternatives-to-meat">https://www.theguardian.com/business/...
