- [[:en]Shell Shock: The Cruelty Inside Exotic Eggs[:]](https://foodispower.org/shell-shock-the-cruelty-inside-exotic-eggs/) - First, let’s be clear: There is cruelty inside every animal-based egg produced for consumption. Eggs are among the world’s most ubiquitous foods, but while eggs from chickens may be the type many of us imagine when we think of eggs, there are scores of other types that humans consume—and not all are from birds. Here, then, is an exploration of some of the most popular “exotic” or “specialty” eggs, along with some uncommon ones. (For the purposes of this page, we will not address eggs that are consumed solely for survival.)

- [[:en]Why is dairy "trending" right now?[:es]A Reflection on My Veganism This AANHPI Month[:]](https://foodispower.org/why-is-dairy-trending-right-now/) - Despite my efforts to curate a happy, positive vegan bubble, I have not been able to escape the massive increase in content promoting dairy that seems to have taken over social media over the past few years. Perhaps it was there all along and only recently felt emboldened to come out of the woodwork. The faces behind this content are primarily white millennials who tout and praise trends that fit into the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) worldview such as raw cow’s milk, the use of “beef” tallow in everything, avoiding seed oils, and even following a carnivore diet. Sometimes subtle and sometimes glaringly obvious, this content has seeped into social media and society.

- [[:en]Check out our new page: Consider Insects & Worms[:]](https://foodispower.org/consider-insects-and-worms/) - Our latest page tackles the issues surrounding consuming insects, worms and other things they make. Now being raised and killed by the trillions for consumption, insects are subjected to many of the same cruelties as chickens, pigs, cows, and other farmed animals, such as cramped housing, poor nutrition, and inhumane slaughter methods, including being frozen, baked, boiled, microwaved, or mechanically shredded—all while still alive.

- [[:en]A Global Reset[:]](https://foodispower.org/a-global-reset/) - More than once, I have been in situations where I have looked at the myriad problems in the world, from the consumption of animals to the treatment of workers and how in general more importance is placed on property and wealth than on life. I have wondered how we got here and if it is possible to undo some of these issues. When I would start pulling on these threads I would see how connected everything is, so we have to look beyond the US and to the world as a whole.

Since its inception 18 years ago, F.E.P. has worked to inform people about the atrocities taking place in the chocolate industry. It led us to create our Chocolate List and free app to help consumers who want to eat their ethics and not support slavery or child labor. And, of course, because F.E.P. is a vegan organization, each company on the list has to make at least one vegan chocolate.
