The ASPCA and other groups just released a new digital resource called the Good Groceries Guide. Director of Farm Animal Welfare Strategy Daisy Freund joins Cheddar with what shoppers should watch for to ensure they're buying food that matches their values. The guide helps consumers shop for fair, healthy, and humane products.
Freund warns to be careful of misleading labels on grocery items. She gives helpful tips on which buzzwords are honest, and which are just marketing ploys. We also learn why shopping locally and avoiding waste can help champion the fair treatment of farm animals.
Finally, we get an update on the ASPCA's work to protect farm animals. Freund reveals the organization is working on both community and legislative levels to advocate for domestically-bred animals. We also get to meet Nugget, the six-year-old Maltese rescue.
An Associated Press analysis of more than 130 bills in 40 state legislatures found of the proposals, as introduced or passed, are identical or very similar to some model legislation, the AP found.
The first book in the Harry Potter series hit shelves in 1997. Since then, it’s become a multibillion dollar franchise with multiple books and movies, a theme park, and now an interactive exhibit in New York City. Cheddar’s own Ashley Mastronardi visited earlier this week before it was open to the public.
Cheddar recommends "Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl," "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," "The Mother," "A Man Called Otto," "The Covenant," and "The Great American Recipe."
