JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Investigator interview

ITime magazine has published an interview with “Pete,” the undercover investigator featured in Death on a Factory Farm.

In it, he speaks touchingly of how he got into this line of work: “My initial plan in life was to become a cop and then join the FBI. But I started to learn that the worst things I’ve ever read about humans being doing to each other—similar if not identical things happen to animals on a mass scale. I felt that there were enough people in law enforcement, but there weren’t enough people working in animal rights.”—and of the toll it has taken on him: “It’s a very depressing life and it’s a very lonely life.”

It’s an intriguing glimpse into his life.
