Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is more common than one might think. With roughly 10 to 15% of people worldwide dealing with some form of IBS, and 40% of those dealing with only mild cases, it’s possible you may have it and not even realize it.

Several extraneous factors can bring about a case of IBS, including poor diet, stress, and changes to your microbiome.

We can’t afford a lack of vision in agriculture policies given the current state of public health and climate change challenges.

The Amazon rainforest is on fire and all fingers are pointing to animal agriculture industry as the first responsible for this environmental and public health catastrophe. This is not a wildfire, but the consequence of cattle ranching.
