Confessions of a Hypocrite
In the pursuit of tasty proteins, you are responsible for the lives and murders of thousands of animals over the course of a lifetime.

If animals in production have a claim to being treated like the sentient and thinking beings they are, your diet is probably the worst thing you do.
