This is such a good article. Not very long either. I recommend reading it. I don't think it's behind a paywall either.
Usually I quote a few of the best lines just to get people interested but every paragraph contains some great quotes so I'll just skip that part and encourage everyone to take a minute to read this.

For a rare lifestyle choice, vegetarianism tends to drive people pretty bonkers.

Avon’s entire range is now cruelty-free following Leaping Bunny Certification

Avon now has the Leaping Bunny stamp of approval on the entirety of its extensive cosmetics range, in every country in which it operates

I haven't purchased Avon in many years (didn't even realize they were still in business), but this is good to know! I used to like several of their products many many years ago!

Leaping Bunny approval

Animal testing for cosmetics is unnecessary, and we won't do it. We're proud to announce our beauty and personal care products are now all Leaping Bunny approved by @CrueltyFreeIntl.

Oh. Sorry. I used to have a subscription to the Atlantic. But I don't anymore. I guess I still have some privileges.

Such a good article. I sometimes read magazines via my Public Library. IMHO, it's worth the effort.
Nothing really new (to us vegans) in the article. but I enjoyed it.

I mentioned in the Reading thread that I have started Walden by Henry David Thoreau and in the Prologue he has a funny and relevant quote:

“One farmer says to me, 'You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;' and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”​

love it... and that was from the mid 1800s
