The Juicy Bits:
- The end of factory farming is more likely than the end of farming animals in general for food.
- Factory farming is a method of farming, and it is also a set of laws, policies, and economic structures that enable a certain kind of farming.
- Since the Cold War, the USDA privatized industrial meat production for economic and political gain.
- People do not want antibiotics, drugs, chemicals, and contamination in their food.
- Humanewashing is like greenwashing, the use of marketing by companies to give the public the impression that their products align with your values.
- Because most people don't want meat, dairy, and eggs with drugs in them, there are layers of humanewashing: unregulated terms like all natural, humanely-raised, sustainable, cage free, and pasture raised; and unregulated certifications like certified human and animal welfare certified.
- The food industry doesn't do testing for antibiotics, because they don't want to know if they're there. If they know, then they'll have to solve the problem, and that's expensive.
- Andrew's favorite foods: cauliflower shwarma, Beyond Beef steak tips
