Look for the Certified Humane Label


I am not a vegetarian, but I make it a priority to eat meat from animals that at least have a decent life. For that reason I look for food that has "certified Humane " on the label. It means that meat, poultry,eggs, or dairy products come from animals raised meeting humane standards, including sufficient space and access to fresh water and a good diet. Ask your local butcher for help finding products with this label.Every week I buy eggs with the Certified Humane label it cost me about $1.20 more but I feel it is money well spent. For more information and a list of foods carrying the symbol, go to www.certifiedhumane.com
