Exclusive: Hollywood's A-List Turns Its Attention to the Food System: ‘A Modern Day Disaster’

Michelle Cho, with the help of Hollywood A-listers like Joaquin Phoenix, has founded Warren Underground, a new advocacy organization focused on addressing industrial animal agriculture as a system rather than a debate about diet choice. Cho aims to educate consumers on the harmful effects of factory farming by encouraging them to question the food system and make informed choices about what they eat. The organization's first project focused on the mental health crisis faced by factory farm and slaughterhouse workers, shedding light on the hidden costs of the industry.

Warren Underground's approach to tackling issues related to factory farming is holistic, emphasizing the interconnectedness of animal welfare, environmental impact, and human health. By enlisting the support of well-known advocates like Phoenix, the organization hopes to engage the public in conversations about the long-term effects of industrial agriculture and inspire change in the food system. Through strategic partnerships and advocacy efforts, Warren Underground aims to bring greater awareness to the harmful practices of factory farming and promote a more sustainable and ethical approach to food production.
