The holidays are coming up fast, and we all will be doing a lot of grocery shopping and cooking. I want us\u00a0to have a healthier and more humane holiday, so my wish this season is for you to “Shop With Your Heart”.<\/p>\n

I try to love all God’s creatures. And, full disclosure, my diet does include meat. I also believe that animals that have a happy life taste better and are better for you. The ASPCA “Shop With Your Heart” initiative will help us\u00a0recognize, locate and ask for\u00a0meaningfully welfare-certified meat, eggs and dairy products as well as plant-based alternatives.<\/p>\n

I’m sharing some of their online tools to help.
\n\u2022 A label guide<\/a><\/span> that decodes what different labels mean and what to look for
\n\u2022 A\u00a0list of food brands<\/a><\/span> that tend to have higher welfare certifications
\n\u2022 Info on where to find higher-welfare products<\/a><\/span>
\n\u2022 A\u00a0list of farms <\/a><\/span>that are welfare-certified
\n\u2022 A\u00a0supermarket request card<\/a><\/span> if your grocery store does not carry higher welfare products<\/p>\n

You might be wondering, what are “meaningful”\u00a0welfare certifications?\u00a0A truly meaningful welfare certification has standards that are high enough to address animals\u2019 physical, emotional and natural needs, as well as strong oversight in place to ensure participating farms are actually meeting those standards.<\/p>\n

Is\u00a0there is a puppy or kitten Christmas wish in your family’s scenario? Please consider adopting a pet<\/a><\/span>. Our precious furry skeel\u00e1kia<\/em>, Stanley & Stella, are adopted. Stella was rescued from a puppy mill. Make adoption your first option!<\/p>\n
