Food Labeling
It's outrageous that powerful industries, such as the beef industry,
are able to prevent labeling of food to show where it originated.
Consumers have a right to know not only the nutritional value (if any)
of the foods they eat, and not only whether it was organically
produced, but where it originated. See here for a New York Times
editorial opinion on this topic. One way for meat-eaters to send a
message to the beef industry is to stop consuming beef.

From the Mailbag
Dear Keith,
I work with Wesleyan University Professor Scott Plous (founder of
Social Psychology Network), and I'm writing to let you know of a new
web site related to animal protection.
The site uses a unique interactive technology to offer "human-like"
interviews that probe the ethical dimensions of diet and lifestyle
choices. This probing often leads people to examine their own
practices and to better understand the choices made by others.
Please stop by for a visit, take the interview as a meat eater to see
how it works (regardless of whether you eat meat), and consider adding
a link to eInterview.org from your web site. You are also welcome to
