SHOP SMART
- Look for labels that read “organic,” “free-roaming,” “free-range,” or “hormone free.” Although such labels do not guarantee humane and safe facilities, it is better than buying unlabeled products. Some stores will even offer products marked “certified humane.” Still the best option is pastured animals that graze on actual grass, if you can find labels that state this it is worth your money.
- Buy local brands. These products tend to be offered by smaller farms, reducing the risk of buying products produced by factory farms. Furthermore, consumers know exactly where their products are coming from.

REDUCE YOUR CONSUMPTION
- Reduce the amount of animal products you consume.
- Replace some of your meat consumption with alternatives. Integrating vegetable-based options into your diet is both healthier and reduces the need for factory-farmed foods.
