My next novel is #TheLostCause, a hopeful tale of the climate emergency. As with all my audiobooks, Amazon refuses to sell this one, so I made my own indie audiobook and I'm pre-selling it right now through #Kickstarter: http://lost-cause.org -- On October 7-8, I'm in #Milan to keynote Wired Nextfest/#WNF23: https://eventi.wired.it/nextfest23-milano 2/ https://mamot.fr/system/media_attachments/files/111/177/537/673/702/356/original/3a62ba1728bdbb65.jpg
@b92dcc07 It isn't just meat prices that are impacted by overconsolidation in the meat industry. It's public health. The rise of antibiotic-resistant super-bugs is linked to the meat industry. The industry spent years falsely blaming overprescribing doctors. Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets, died of sepsis from a super virulent version of strep. https://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-jim-henson-20160516-snap-story.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Henson#:~:text=On%20May%2016%2C%201990%2C%20Henson,fell%20through%20after%20his%20passing.
