In this episode of Rising Anxieties, Mariann Sullivan exposes how the animal agriculture industry is desperately attempting to rebrand itself while facing mounting environmental and ethical challenges.

This episode explores:

• How factory farming is co-opting “regenerative agriculture” as their newest meaningless buzzword to greenwash industrial practices
• The meat industry’s shocking new strategy to recruit teenagers aged 16-18 by giving them “hands-on experience” in slaughterhouses. Seriously?
• How The New York Times misrepresents animal testing by using euphemistic language like “sacrifice” and “euthanasia”
• New research from Denmark proving we can create sustainable food systems by reducing poultry and pork consumption while ELIMINATING beef entirely
