CBS News Chicago dispels the myth that veganism is on the decline. The Wall Street Journal continues to report on the beef industry without addressing the harm it causes to our health, the planet and the animals. The Spectator uses an inflammatory headline about vegan cheese that misrepresents the intent of the writer.
Pete Wells, the NY Times restaurant critic whose mean-spirted review of Eleven Madison Park took a steep toll on its plant-based business, has adopted a plant-heavy diet to improve his health. He has yet to apologize for the defamatory review. Referencing the same mean-spirited review, The Atlantic reinforces the defamatory message that Eleven Madison Park re-introduced meat because its plant-based cuisine “didn’t taste very good” when, in fact, the customer reviews were stellar. The New Republic asserts that elected officials should be promoting, not demonizing, plant-based eating.
Vox shines a spotlight on dairy calf abuse that is hidden from the public. The Wall Street Journal omits an important victim in its coverage of a slaughterhouse closure. An op-ed writer for The Guardian critiques efforts by European lawmakers to prevent plant-based food companies from using “meat” on their labels.
