Honey, we're going down down

Bees are responsible for more than a third of our food supply, which is scary to think about especially because they're dying by the millions. Some sources are reporting that more than 500 million bees have died in the past 3 months in Brazil due to pesticides. If bees continue to die at this alarming rate, we might have to say bye to some of our favorite things like almonds, apples, avocados, cherries, cranberries, sunflowers, and watermelons, which are a lot of our favorite things. Buzz buzz, bitch.

Fast Food Frenzy

Freaky Fast? More like just freaky...

A photo has resurfaced of Jimmy John's CEO posing next to an elephant he hunted. This isn't the first time the photo has circulated Twitter and the hashtag #BoycottJimmyJohns has gone viral and I'm sure it won't be the last considering the disturbing photos. Good thing we haven't eaten Jimmy John's in like forever cuz mass amounts of fast food deli meat aren't to be trusted.

A Kentucky Fried Miracle

KFC announces that they will be testing out plant-based chicken in partnership with Beyond Meat. Beyond Fried Chicken nuggets and boneless wings were released at a store in Atlanta, GA and sold out in one day, so it's assumed that they will roll this out nation-wide in the near future. KFC revealed that their target audience for this product is "flexitarians," meaning people who want to reduce their meat intake but don't consider themselves full-on vegetarians. Hmm, can't relate.
