You wouldn't expect Pollan or Oprah to deliver a vegan or animal rights message and they didn't. Alicia Silverstone was on the show as a spokesperson for the health benefits and other benefits of veganism. And I won't say she's not a "real vegan," as I'm not the vegan police. Nothing wrong with any of that.

Nothing like this has ever done here and we are showing the first images of Spanish farms -we have previously done an investigation on Spanish slaughterhouses www.mataderos.info ), so we want to get media & society attention about it and give them a vegan message.
