Why Do They Call Him the Conscience of the Food Movement? Find Out!
from The Truth Files with Jane Velez-Mitchell · host Jane Velez-Mitchell
Gene Baur has been hailed as "the conscience of the food movement" by Time magazine. For more than 25 years he has traveled extensively around the country, campaigning to raise awareness about the abuses of industrialized factory farming. Recently, Gene made waves with his thought provoking Op-Ed piece in The Guardian entitled: It's time to dismantle factory farms and get used to eating less meat. He tells it like it is and speaks truth to power, noting Slaughterhouses are a breeding ground for disease and hotspots for coronavirus, and dozens closed after thousands of workers became ill. President Trump ordered these operations open, and shielded them from legal liability for exposing disempowered workers to intolerable risks. At the same time, the government is spending $200m per month to support the meat and dairy industries, while agribusiness lobbies for more stimulus money to return to killing as normal. Now, hear from Gene Baur himself.
