"Happy" Farms of Horror
 
Land O’Fakes: How the false narrative of the happy farm hides the truth about animal agriculture’s impact on the planet

Picture a farm as it might be portrayed in a television commercial. A red barn. Perhaps a rolling hill with cows, pigs and chickens dotting the landscape, each one idly enjoying the sunshine and green grass. The subtext of these images is clear: This is a peaceful, happy place. It won’t come as any surprise to hear that for years, Animal Outlook has been pulling back the curtain on this false narrative. The truth is that American farms are far from peaceful. Today’s animal agriculture facilities are places of cruelty, abuse and sometimes criminal acts. Whether it’s at a dairy farm, a chicken hatchery or an aquaculture facility, the stories are heartbreaking and tragic. 

But the suffering caused by this industry is not limited to the animals trapped on these farms. In fact, animal agriculture is responsible for not only the suffering of cows, pigs and chickens, but for more than 24,000 endangered species worldwide. How?

Watch our video on "humanewashing," which breaks down the widespread marketing tactics designed to deceive us into believing that meat, egg and dairy companies care about the welfare of farmed animals far more than they actually do. 


More Vegan Nutella? Yes Please.

Noah Schnapp, the "Stranger Things" actor, partnered with Umana Venture Studios about two years ago after getting the idea for plant-based Nutella.

Schnapp was especially focused on creating a palm oil-free hazelnut chocolate spread after learning about how palm oil is leading to catastrophic deforestation and wildlife habitat destruction.

 The vegan Nutella spread is entirely plant-based and contains 50% less sugar than the original. It also comes in 100% recycled packaging. Check it out here.
