Vox.com: Farms have bred chickens so large that they’re in constant pain.
We are happy to announce One Step's first Spanish-language video! You can see it now on One Step's YouTube channel, as well as embedded on the front page of our Spanish-language website.
There is a new research paper out. Author's summary: "My coauthors and I apply methodology previously used to estimate the overall burden of disease in human populations ... This leads us to conclude that policymakers interested in alleviating animal suffering ought to focus on chickens."
Still think vegetarians and vegans are impacting animal consumption? Please see this.
Think that vegetarianism is taking over? The most thorough analysis, by Animal Charity Evaluators, says otherwise: "Around 1% of adults both self-identify as vegetarians and report never consuming meat. It seems that this percentage has not changed substantially since the mid-1990s."
"The European Union produced a record 33.5 billion pounds of poultry in 2018.... At this rate, the EU will set a record for poultry consumption in each of the next 10 years. It’s hard to imagine just how many animals we’re talking about. At any given time, there are about 23 billion chickens alive–or three chickens for every one human being on earth."
People say they are going to eat less meat. Do they? This analysis reveals the truth.
One Step's second podcast ad was the opening of this discussion between Sam Harris and Ezra Klein. It led to even more visits to OneStepMatters.com than the first ad!

New study found that encouraging people to "cut out or cut back on" animal products led to more diet change (and spared more animals) than encouraging people to "eat vegan" or "eat vegetarian."
Why One Step? The numbers are clear!
This video is just terrible. Horrible.

Why focus on animals? Here is just another example (video) of how other arguments to try to get people to change their diet will often hurt animals in the real world.
As Nobel Laureate Herb Simon pointed out, people don't seek to find the perfect solution. They look for something that is better and "good enough." When we make an argument where red meat is the worst and a certain form of veganism is the best, the vast majority of people choose somewhere in the middle. And this almost always means eating many more birds.
