A sincere letter to WeWork

Dear WeWork,

I notice you decided to virtue signal how much you care about the environment by targeting your employees who consume meat. I find your lack of knowledge on the environmental impacts of meat eating inexcusable.

Here are the facts:

Cutting out all meat only reduced total US GHG by 2.6 percentage units and resulted in a greater number of deficiencies in essential nutrients.

When you actually dig deeper you find animal agriculture is an intricate part of our ability to eliminate food waste. We feed numerous byproducts to animals that are derived from human food. A good example is Oatly, which sells their oat mash to pig growers. Ironically they also attack animal agriculture using inaccurate data.

Companies should not use leadership’s personal beliefs over sound scientific evidence.

Sincerely,
Every frustrated farmer exhausted from being blamed by a well-fed society.


P.S. I’ve rounded up a few read-worthy links:

Derrick Josi

Derrick Josi is a 4th generation dairy farmer from Tillamook, Oregon, where he milks Jersey dairy cows and farms corn and grass silage.

Wilsonview Dairy, a family farm established in 1918 by Derrick’s great grandfather, Alfred, after arriving from Switzerland as an indentured servant in 1912, is located near the Pacific Ocean where dairy cows enjoy a relatively mild climate on their centennial farm.

The Josi family is proud to play a part in making delicious cheese by providing quality milk to the Tillamook County Creamery Association.
