World famous chef Wolfgang Puck has announced that he will only use food products from animals raised under strict humane standards. We say bravo! All of us can do our part to fight the horrors of factory farms by being careful about the products we purchase. When great numbers of people make socially conscious purchasing decisions they can have a real impact on the marketplace. Organics have grown to be a multi-billion dollar industry precisely because so many people acted with their pocketbooks.

When a person with the high profile of Mr. Puck endorses the cause it can only help the movement for humane, safe and delicious food to continue growing. Thank you Mr. Puck!
