As I am already convinced of the awfulness of factory farming, I wasn't interested in watching a disturbing documentary about it. This post nudges me to actually watch it so I can reference it when discussing animal suffering.

Also, great blog name!

Thanks! I also tried to watch it after first talking with Peter about the paper but I found it very upsetting and it was hard to get anything done for the rest of the day. YMMV.

Nice article, glad it has been surfaced to me by the algorithm.

I’ve always been skeptical about the effectiveness of common street action interventions and yet felt that it should be possible somehow… so this result is really promising.

I do wonder how it could be scaled beyond study participants.

Glad you liked it! Kenny Torella at Vox liked the study as well and offers some thoughts here: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/417717/meat-reduction-vegetarian-research
