- SuperVegan asks the question, “Does it matter that Jonathan Safran Foer isn’t vegan?” Yes, it does. Every person who can make the shift to veganism matters. It’s simple- more vegans = more non-human lives that are spared.
- The World Health Organization has called for “a close watch on farmers and animals” in the wake of the swine flu death toll passing 6,000. The virus is constantly evolving, and a variant known as H3N2 has been detected in minks on a “mink farm” in Denmark.
