    Are Beans and Whole Grains Inflammatory Foods? by Will Bulsiewicz, MD at ForksOverKnives.com

  6. Animal Liberation Is Part of the Social Justice Tapestry

    May 5

    Animal Liberation Is Part of the Social Justice Tapestry

    Animal Liberation Is Part of the Social Justice Tapestry To recognize animal exploitation as a justice issue is to confront our own participation in it. Veganism asks that we examine every day what we eat, buy, wear, and normalize. These changes reach into our habits and social relationships, forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about our behaviors and practices. At the same time, this is precisely what makes it so powerful, because individuals are inspired to create meaningful change through everyday actions.
