If your campus is green energy-wise but you’re still buying all-beef hamburgers and the like in the school cafeteria, your school isn’t green enough.
In the 60s, they burned bras and draft cards. American schools should start burning burgers leading to an outright ban of beef on campus like they’re doing at Goldsmiths college of the University of London.
It’s even more important if you’re a person of color at an American college or university.
Make no mistake – besides being a legit climate-change issue, banning beef and meat products on our campuses is a legit diversity issue. Diversity doesn’t just apply to race, you know. You should be thinking about the animals and the plight of other species. They deserve the chance to live out their lives, too.
If it’s never occurred to you, take some time to understand how all our lives and rights have been intertwined from the past to the present.
When you think about enslaved humans, or those of us from people who have been colonized and turned into a labor force, think about how often they were referred to in a derogatory way.
No better than animals? Equal to animals?
