How to Live a Healthy and Happy Vegan Lifestyle

  Kip Anderson—producer of ocean conservation documentary Seaspiracy—and PETA President Ingrid Newkirk are demanding the Biden Administration overturn a Trump-era executive order that allows the proliferation of fish factory farms.   This week, filmmaker Kip Anderson, producer of ocean conservation film Seaspiracy, and Ingrid Newkirk, president of animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), sent a joint letter to President Joe Biden.  In the letter, Anderson and Newkirk demanded that President Biden overturn Executive Order 13921, which allows for the proliferation of offshore fish factory farms, which, aside from being cru farmed fish, are environmentally damaging to wild marine populations and oceans.  The Trump-era executive order also limits the environmental review of developing these aquaculture farms and places the burden on taxpayers to identify the locations where these farms can be constructed.

   Gizmodo published an article debunking Seaspiracy as nothing more than "vegan propaganda", telling people not to watch it.  They cite "experts in the field" as their source of true information.
