Your Fork Is Your Most Powerful Weapon

Editor Cassia Patel SEAS’18 and her team of Barnumbia students write about how animal agriculture is the leading contributor to climate change. To better understand the current climate crisis and its connection to food, the writers define environmental injustice and food justice, provide numerous statistics, and educate readers on livestock waste and water usage. The zine features a York Country Expose by Kristen Akey which details how a family was displaced by a neighboring mega farm due to continuous health issues. Finally, the zine ends by debunking common labels seen in the grocery aisle such as cage-free, free range, organic, and GMO. - Mikako
