Our latest video

It was an emotional experience editing our new film Paraguay: the human cost of soy and I am not the one whose children are sick as a result of pesticide poisoning.

Soy is the secret ingredient in our meat and dairy - it's being grown in South America to feed our factory farms. Our film sees Paraguayans tell of the horrors of living with soy cultivation including intensive pesticide spraying. Victoria Gonzales' words are still ringing in my ears "with tears in my eyes I ask them, don't spray any more poison, but they laugh at me".

I hope you feel as moved by these stories as I did - moved enough to join our fight against the deadly soy takeover.
