It's a long, complicated name for an idea that makes a lot of sense since 99% of all meat produced in America is produced in animal factories and if there's one thing that locovores like Michael Pollan and vegans like me agree on is that factory farming of animals is 100% bad. From health and nutrition, to the environment, to worker safety and rights, to ethical treatment of animals, factories produce the lowest standards in every respect and must be opposed. I hope that this new alliance between locovorism and veganism puts divisions and acrimony aside as we advocate against animal factories in a united front.
