The First Rule Of The Olympics: You
Can't Talk About The Olympics

The First Rule Of The Olympics: You
Can't Talk About The Olympics 08/20/2004 02:25 AM
We've already talked about how the Olympics forced certain radio stations to pull their internet streams because they weren't approved for internet broadcasts of the Olympics, and now comes the news that no athletes participating in the games are allowed to talk about their experiences on websites. Considering the number of empty seats (and the weak television coverage), giving the games a more personal feel, letting the athletes talk for themselves (rather than those sappy profiles on TV) would help people to connect more with the games. That, though, would involve remembering that the games are actually about what happens in the events, and not how much the Olympics can squeeze out of sponsors. Haven't they figured out yet, that if no one cares about the games, no one will want to sponsor the Olympics any more? As for those who dare to disobey and actually talk about their experiences online? The Olympics are threatening to remove their credentials or possibly "take legal action for any monetary damages." Monetary damages? From posting your thoughts on the games? Seems pretty clear just how focused the Olympic organizers are on money instead of the athletes and the contests.

Fighting Factory Farms

Fighting Factory Farms 06/17/2005 03:28 PM

Several readers were sufficiently shocked by the picture and story of what goes on in Western factory farms to ask "What can we do about it?" Here are some thoughts, and a bunch of useful links to more information: Become a vegan: Our political and economic systems being what they are, it is much more effective to eliminate demand for what factory farms provide, than to try to get government to change the way they operate. Contrary to the industry's hype and propaganda, a vegan (botanic) diet is an extremely healthy, easy and delicious one. If you're not really convinced that the animals we eat are profoundly sensitive, emotional creatures, read Jeff Masson's lovely, gently persuasive The Pig Who Sang to the Moon or When Elephants Weep. Here are eight tips to make the transition to vegetarianism, the first step to a botanic diet. A great way to start is to take a class in vegan cooking. Buy local or Certified Humane: If giving up meat and dairy is too much of a stretch, find local, trusted suppliers that you, or people you know, have visited and are comfortable with the conditions the animals are kept in. Or support and research Certified Humane suppliers (Canadians will find a more complete list here). Note that "organic" does not necessarily mean cruelty-free (though it is more likely to be) and that there are no standards or inspections behind "free-range" claims. For more inspiration on why this is so important read this wonderful essay A Good Farmer from novelist Barbara Kingsolver in The Nation. Small local farms are better for the environment, better for employment, better for the local community, better for workers, better for your health, and, of course, better for the animals. And if you haven't seen the award-winning short film The Meatrix yet, take a look -- it's not violent or sensationalistic. Talk others into becoming vegan/vegetarian and buying local/Certified Humane: Consumer action takes numbers. Nothing is more effective than person-to-person conversation. You don't have to be strident -- just tell people the facts. Adopt a local farmer: Join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) group or meet with a local farmer and get your neighbours to pool together to buy from that farmer. Support the Slow Food Movement: They are champions of sustainable and high-biodiversity agriculture, and hence enemies of factory farms. Talk to your grocery stores and restaurants: Start your political activism at your end of the food chain, where you have the most influence. Tell your grocery store that you want more variety of botanic products, and to be able to buy them in bulk, not just tiny prepackaged portions. Tell them, and your favourite restaurants, that you want to buy Certified Humane products. Print up and give them I Care Calling Cards. Join organizations that care: If you're going to try to lobby for political change, work with organizations that are doing so already. Farm Aid, the Sierra Club, the Humane Society of the US or Canada, and the GRACE Factory Farm Project all provide resources and help fighting factory farms. Know what you're up against: Factory farms are dominated by a few huge, politically influential and massively subsidized agribusiness corporations. If you have other suggestions, please use the comments button below to tell us about them.
