As a mom, I try to make the best choices for my family and it helps when I am able to find resources that support my decisions. One of them is the Shop with Your Heart from the ASPCA.
ASPCA launched to improve the lives of farm animals called Shop With Your Heart.
As you may already know, most of the nearly 9 billion animals raised for meat, milk and eggs in the US are suffering in inhumane factory farms. And animals are not the only affected, as factory farms impact human health—they can be breeding grounds for dangerous pathogens and the antibiotics used to prevent disease create the potential for dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria to develop. To fully harness the power of our collective purchases and demand better lives for farm animals, the Shop With Your Heart initiative gives consumers the resources to recognize, locate and demand meaningfully welfare-certified meat, eggs and dairy products as well as plant-based alternatives.
Now it is time to make the pledge to be a more welfare-conscious shopper: aspca.org/shopwithyourheart.
Everyone who signs the pledge also gains access to an exclusive Shop With Your Heart Grocery List, including welfare-certified and widely available plant-based brands.
To help support the Shop with Your Heart campaign, we have a gift bag of goodies for one lucky reader.
Shocking: “150,000 American horses are slaughtered each year for human consumption”. Really? How absolutely terrible..

I learned that By buying welfare-certified animal products, or more plant-based products, you send a strong message to food companies that you care about the treatment of farm animals.
I like that there is a list on the site with names to look for that guarantee your dairy and meat were raised humanely. I am not a vegetarian, but I do think it is important for us humans to raise food animals in a better environment than many are.
They have great supermarket request forms to give to your local store so they know you want them to carry more plant based products and humane certified foods.
I learned that The U.S. raises some 100 million pigs for food each year, the vast majority of them on industrial-scale farms known for their crowded, inhumane conditions
I learned that 99% of farm animals in the U.S. are raised in factory farms.
