However, the 93-year-old filmmaker and activist said: “I eat fish and chicken, and my conscience does trouble me. I’m affluent enough to afford free-range, but it’s a middle-class hypocrisy.”

“The planet can’t support billions of meat eaters. If we all ate only plants, we’d need only half the land we use at the moment.”

A Public Health Threat: Censorship…

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Castellano
I remain surprised to have learned (via my favorite currently running TV show: El Ministerio del Tiempo) that the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918 actually did not likely begin in Spain, but was called Spanish due to the fact that Spain was the first (or only) nation to have reported the illness when the outbreak began.  Other countries censored the news due to The Great War, and thus ended up helping the virus spread with the return of the soldiers after WWI.   A very sad lesson on how censorship can have deadly consequences world-wide.
