Virtually all kosher chickens, cattle, and fish suffer the worst abuses of #factoryfarming, and everyone pays the price.
It’s time to reckon with the impacts of our food choices. Is this way of farming and eating truly #kosher?

People who follow a plant-based diet account for 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than those who eat more than 3.5 ounces of meat a day, according to new research. A vegan diet also results in significantly less harm to land, water and biodiversity. nyti.ms/3OmbsFE

Exciting #DefaultVeg news: 450 students voted to lobby University of Kent catering facilities to switch to plant-based menus.
Institutional food policies like this can positively impact animals, people, & our planet.

Shabbat shalom from our flock to yours!
This Shabbat is a great opportunity to learn more about the lives of chickens considered "food animals".
Even kosher chicken's spent their short lives in factory farms. They deserve better.
Visit IsThisKosher.Org to learn more.

Intensive confinement of genetically compromised birds creates the perfect breeding ground for deadly global pandemics. Ending industrial poultry farming is the single greatest action we could take to reduce the risk. Take the pledge: farmforward.com/take-action/…

Have you heard that the Committee on Jewish Law & Standards issued a nearly unanimous ruling permitting Jews to eat in vegan/vegetarian restaurants even if they're not under rabbinic supervision?

This progressive decision brings us to a larger question: in the face of the widespread harm caused by industrial animal agriculture, in what ways can Judaism promote more sustainable & ethical eating?
