Today on IT'S ALL ABOUT FOOD, 4pm: our guest is Delcianna J. Winders, associate professor of law and Director of the Animal Law and Policy Institute at Vermont Law and Graduate School.

In these challenging times, with government officials ignoring basic constitutional rights, think for a moment about the voiceless, those that can't protest, those that are exploited, tortured and murdered for their flesh. Farm animals raised for food are sensitive, caring individuals and billions every year are subject to cruelty, pain and suffering. And yes, the human workers suffer too, due to unsafe conditions and emotional trauma from the cries of the tortured animals they kill.

Animal law and policy is a growing field. Tune in to the interview with Delcianna Winders and hear about this important work. Nonhuman animals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect with protection against cruelty.

Think about WHO is on your plate.

We've invited John Sanbonmatsu back for another interview on IT'S ALL ABOUT FOOD, 4PM ET, to discuss his new book, THE OMNIVORE'S DECEPTION, What We Get Wrong About Meat, Animals, And Ourselves. If you are a fan of the book by Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma, published back in 2006, we think you might find this program interesting!

"Grounded in years of extensive research, THE OMNIVORE'S DECEPTION exposes the myths, contradictions, and lies perpetuated by such popular figures as Michael Pollan, Temple Grandin, Barbara Kingsolver, and other “enlightened” omnivores who claim that animal agriculture can be made “sustainable” and “humane.”

Today's IT'S ALL ABOUT FOOD features journalist Will Potter whose new book LITTLE RED BARNS hits the shelves on June 24. Will Potter is one of the best and bravest of journalists. We all need to BEAR WITNESS to what is happening to our food system, our freedoms, our health and the health of the planet. We need to BEAR WITNESS to corporate cruelty to farmed animals, people working in factory farms and slaughterhouses, and the residents that live near these polluting death factories.

Will writes: "This book is the culmination of a decade-long, groundbreaking investigation that took me to places I had never expected, from factory farms to fascist groups, from whistleblowing to censorship laws, political corruption, and propaganda campaigns. It is part investigative reporting, part archival research, part photography, and part memoir, and I can’t wait for you to read it."

Please tune in today at 4pm ET to hear IT'S ALL ABOUT FOOD's host Caryn Hartglass interview Will Potter. Then pre-order your copy of LITTLE RED BARNS, read it, and share it. We all share this planet Earth and we need to be educated about how she is being exploited. We all need to work together to protect the Earth, our home, for ourselves, our families, and all the life we share this world with.
