My Story

A sense of injustice is stirring among American citizens. We’ve learned that modern animal agriculture poisons our planet, sickens our bodies, and cruelly exploits billions of animals year after year. It’s time to end federal subsidies to animal agriculture.

Consuming animals and their by-products are unnecessary, and often contrary to human health. The American Dietetic Association recognizes that well-planned plant-based diets lower rates of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and that plant-based diets are appropriate and healthy during all stages of life, including pregnancy and infancy.

Modern industrial animal agriculture is a leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and air pollution. Animal welfare laws fail to protect animals from ruthless, barbaric, and torturous treatment.

Hard working Americans do not want our tax dollars funding an unnecessary, polluting, cruel animal industry that makes us sick. Now is the time to end all federal subsidies to animal agriculture.

We will advocate for re-allocating subsidies to help farmers restructure from animal agriculture and toward growing plants intended for human consumption.

Farmers would be supported in transitioning to supplying the country with vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, fungi, and other plant-based crops. The objective isn't to put anyone out of business. Rather, the objective is to provide incentives and support to transition to a food supply chain that is sustainable, healthy, and humane.
