The food you choose has a direct effect on how farm animals live.
Over sixty billion animals are farmed for food worldwide every year, over 9 billion of which are right here in the United States.
Ninety five percent of all these factory farmed animals in the US are broiler or ‘meat’ chickens. In fact, the US is the largest producer of broiler chickens in the world.
The vast majority of all farm animals are reared intensively, in systems that seriously impact on their welfare.
Through making certain choices when buying your groceries, you can improve these farm animals’ lives. Below, we show you how simple it can be to improve their lives through the food choices you make.
