At LLBG, we’re keen on baking a better world. That’s why, for 1 of our 10 #sustainability projects, we’ve asked ourselves the question: "Can our supply chain make a difference?" The answer can be found in our ‘responsible sourcing’ project. Find out what Ilse (Group Purchase Manager) has to say about responsible sourcing. Heads up: it’s about working together with sustainable-minded suppliers, tackling ethical, social and environmental issues such as carbon, deforestation, animal welfare and decent working conditions. #llbg #bakingabetterworldtogether #responsiblesourcing #supplychain

🌟 **Exploring Ethical Choices in Food Production** 🌟 Today, I came across Elwood's Organic Dog Meat, a thought-provoking initiative that challenges our perceptions of food animals. Their approach to raising dogs for meat, while controversial, highlights important ethical considerations in the food industry. At Elwood's, dogs are raised with care, following USDA guidelines, and are offered organic, soy-free feed. The farm emphasises sustainability and humane treatment, ensuring that their dogs live in green pastures during the summer months. This initiative raises a crucial question: Why do we differentiate between dogs and other animals like cows, pigs, and chickens when it comes to food? Elwood's aims to make us reflect on our food choices and consider the ethical implications of consuming any animal. If you're passionate about animal welfare and sustainability, I encourage you to explore Elwood's Organic Dog Meat and join the conversation about creating a more compassionate world. their link is https://lnkd.in/erAJtZRH of course the website is a joke, but it gets you thinking.

How do food companies balance the need to ensure a better life for chickens while decreasing their environmental impact? 🐔 A recent paper commissioned by CIWF, titled “Impact Mitigation Strategies for Higher-Welfare Broiler Production,” answers this question as it navigates the intricate relationship between animal welfare and environmental sustainability. The report compiled by New Green Normal with contributions from Hillary Dalton and Julia Johnson, MDiv, MS, offers valuable strategies to harmonize these objectives, emphasizing the urgency to address both fronts.

The steak of high stakes. Mschf, the art collective known for pushing boundaries, is back with another audacious project that challenges our ethical dilemmas. "Our Cow Angus" forces consumers to confront the consequences of their meat consumption by turning a live calf into a macabre lottery. If enough buyers of Angus' pre-sold meat products choose to "save" him, he'll be spared from the slaughterhouse. Otherwise, well, you can guess the rest. This twisted social experiment highlights the disconnect between our guilt over environmental destruction and our insatiable appetite for its products. We're all too willing to point fingers at corporations and governments, but what about the individual choices we make every day? By gamifying Angus' fate, Mschf forces us to examine the true cost of our consumption. The project also exposes the hypocrisy within activist movements. Will those who preach about animal rights be willing to put their money where their mouths are, even if it means participating in the very system they condemn? Or will they let their principles take a backseat to their desire for a unique collectible? Mschf isn't offering any easy answers. Instead, they're creating a microcosm of the larger moral dilemma we face: can we save the planet without sacrificing our own comforts? The outcome of this "experiment" remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: it's sure to spark a heated debate. #OurCowAngus #EthicalDilemmas #MeatConsumption #EnvironmentalImpact #Activism #SocialExperiment #Mschf
