Hog farm pollution in communities of color in North Carolina (taken from What the Health).

Just for some context, this is by no means an isolated case; animal farms have a devastating impact on their surrounding communities. Large farming facilities produce more than 400 different gases, all as a result of the amount of waste they produce, which pollutes local streams and waterways. The real concerns  are hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia and carbon dioxide. Communities surrounding these facilities are constantly close to hydrogen sulfide, a gas that can cause flu-like symptoms, while high concentrations or exposure can lead to brain damage. Methane can lead to vision problems, heart palpitations, brain damage, trouble breathing, and, with enough exposure, death. 

Animal agriculture industries and councils know this, and so establish them in communities least likely to be able to mount a legal challenge. This means that these facilities disproportionately effect impoverished communities and people of colour, and counties with larger black and lationo populations are home to more factory farms. When these facilities are established, they immediately drive down land values due to the known health issues they cause, meaning that many residents can no longer afford to sell their homes and relocate.

When people try to speak out against these corrupt industries either on behalf of these communities or on behalf of animals, they are met with legal action and often even criminal charges. These “ag-gag” laws are devastating for the human victims of animal agriculture as well for farmed animals, but the the meat and dairy industries have such an enormously powerful political lobby that they are able to influence politicians into passing legislation which best serves their own interests, at the cost of human and animal lives.

We really should encourage there to be a better and more varied selection of vegan and vegetarian items on every menu. Even if you’re not a vegan or a vegetarian, having a diet that’s primarily comprised of fruits, veggies, and grains is the the first major step in maintaining a healthy body. So with that in mind, we really need to start seeing vegan options at affordable eateries beyond just a plain salad.

“You should watch rachel amas on youtube, she’s a british-caribbean woman who does loads of vegan meals.”

Thank you so so much for the suggestion!!! This is so amazing. All of her food is very ethnic which is so refreshing because white people make vegan food look bleak! But I’m actually excited to cook her food. I’m going to make one of her curry recipes for lunch!

I mean look at this food!!!

You can find her YouTube channel here and her recipe blog here. You can also preorder her cook book here.
