Let’s shell-ebrate a MAJOR moment for the treatment of baby chicks! The first better hatched eggs, produced without the cruel egg industry practice of male chick culling, have just hit supermarkets’ shelves. Learn how you can find these eggs🥚 ➡️ https://t.co/eA4z3Tf3sh

Best tasting pork on the planet is from heritage breeds of pigs with access to outside and dirt, fed correctly, processed on farm, and delivered fresh.

There are lots of other factors in the dining experience but that covers the major items.

Conventional chicken breeds are grown fast and large. Our chickens are #pastureraised and slow-grown (2x the length of most conventional breeds), resulting in healthier, happier chickens! #regenerative #HeritageChickens #grownaspromised #labellepatrimoine #labelle_patrimoine

Des Moines Water Works is battling nitrates in our source waters. Finished water meets all drinking water standards, but we need your help: Water demand needs to stay low. Consider holding off on or significantly reduce lawn watering and continue to use water wisely.

BIG NEWS 🎉 @ButcherBox announced it has obtained ASPCA-recognized animal welfare certifications for all of its meat products! Learn more here: https://t.co/oZ2RQYv3RB #ShopWithYourHeart 🧡

[Mike Salguero @mikesalguero]

A quick moment of gratitude.. For nearly a decade, our team has been tirelessly working to source animal products that are humanely raised and sustainably sourced so we can deliver them directly to our customer’s doors.

Today, we’ve been recognized by the @ASPCA’s Shop With Your Heart® program, which highlights brands that are making an impact on animal welfare. As one of very few brands who can say that we source all our products from partners with third-party animal welfare certifications, we are proud that our work is being recognized by such an established and respected organization.

While there will always be more work to be done and room to improve, @ButcherBox we are committed to better. Better for the planet. Better for the farmers, workers and our customers. And of course, better for the animals.

USDA projects a world of almost unending export growth for pork and poultry - a world of more CAFOs and expanded processing capacity.

"Industrial animal agriculture is highly subsidized ...
Higher welfare, regenerative farming doesn't have that same level of support," says Maral Cavner @ASPCA

"You can't hope to reap the reward but not lend your voice to what matters."

Chris Oliviero talks about @NimanRanch supporting Proposition 12 to require farmers to provide more space for breeding pigs.

"You can't fight the future. As we learn more about animals ... people are factoring that into their decisions about the products they want to consume," says Chris Green of @AnimalLawHLS about the support for Prop 12.
