It's great, right? Information about environmentalism, how excellent vegan food can be, and how gross the average American diet actually is - all delivered by the mainstream media.
Come on you "environmentalists" (I put it in quotes because I question the sincerity of some who claim this label), you know it's the right thing to do.

There are a few animal advocacy organizations that think like that too so the problem isn't unique to them. With CNN pieces like this leading the way, people will follow. That CNN piece isn't unique either. In our area I've seen Wendy Reiger do similar pieces on the local news with COK
