Meat Gets TV Drug Ad
theinformedvegan:
Ollie H. Productions have put together a hilarious drug commercial for meat.
Since animals on factory farms are fed 35 million pounds of antibiotics a year and are injected with numerous other drugs, it’s only fitting that meat be marketed as an actual drug.
The video is a classic spoof of cheesy drug ads with long slow nature shots, generic white guy in corduroy jacket,...

We Animals
We Animals is an ambitious project which documents, through photography, animals in the human environment.
The premise of the project is that humans are as much animal as the sentient beings we use for food, clothing, research, experimentation, work, entertainment, slavery and companionship.
The goal of the project is to break down the barriers that humans have built which allow us...

Humanity's Obsession With Itself →
“If we were consistent with our logic and philosophies, and were as serious about protecting the natural environment as we pay lip-service to, humans would be the first animals to be culled. ‘Of course you can’t kill humans to protect the environment!”
”So why is it so disgusting when we kill some animals – yet simultaneously so positive when we kill others...

HURRAW! Lip Balms
Say goodbye to dry lips.
My lips are very dry and I keep smudging them with toxic petroleum based lip balms. I once thought ”vaseline” was pretty safe since it basically only contained ”one ingredient”, but how wrong could I be. The petroleum jelly used in most of our lip balms are a bi-product of oil drilling and linked to many health problems including cancer.
But have...
