F#!k Monsanto: Go Vegan, Go Organic

I didn’t go vegan because I’m an animal lover. I love nature and wild life, but I’m not so keen about pets. Animal cruelty is not even on my radar when I see a veal sandwich or a medium rare steak. I’ll admit that I don’t flinch an eye when I see those videos of animals with their throats cut on the meatpacking line. If it’s me against a chicken on a deserted island, the chicken will lose.

However, uncertain and unclear energy policy stalled what could have been a real green energy revolution, according to New Grid. How much of a role did ALEC play? In 2013 alone, lazy and corrupt state legislators who get paid by ALEC to introduce laws written by corporations introduced 77 laws for big oil. In 2014, ALEC will look to tax homeowners who install solar panels. Senator Ted Cruz said on Monday that he will fight to deregulate fracking, approve Keystone...
