See these scruffy, sickly, scared little things in the top image? Then see them now enjoying themselves thoroughly in the bottom image? Some of you may know that one of the things that gives me huge joy is my rescue chickens, which I started to keep during lockdown. They are a bye-product of the egg industry (don't be fooled, just because they are not in individual cages, laying hens have the most awful lives, only to be slaughtered at 18 months because their poor little bodies can't manage to lay an egg a day any more). So I have space for 6 of these lovely animals. When they arrive, they are pale, they have never seen sunshine, grass or had a dust-bath and it is so rewarding to see them recover, grow new feathers and just be chickens, doing chicken stuff! Oh and of course you get the eggs! Yes they do taste much better than the ones from the supermarket. You also suddenly get to be really good friends with your neighbours, who just love a surprise box of fresh eggs every now and then. What is your thing that makes the world just that little bit better? By the way, if you are interested in getting some rescue chickens, I got mine from The British Hen Welfare Trust. I promise you, it's one of the most rewarding things you will ever do! #givingback #rescuehens #rewarding #happiness

I participated virtually in the convening on the The White House Challenge to End Hunger & Build Healthy Communities. It is truly an honor to listen to so many long-time leading proponents of food insecurity and wellness speak today. People like USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, Congressman Jim McGovern, Senator Debbie Stabenow and the one and only Jose Andres. Each of them sharing personal motivating stories of why they are passionate about this critically important work. My takeaways: We know what to do to end hunger, now lets take action. We know what to do to improve children and families health, now let's take action. We know what to do to improve quality of food in schools, now lets take action. We know what to do to support farmers, now let's take action. We know what to do to build a strong community, now let's take action. We know what to do to improve the environment, now let's take action. We know what to do to improve animal welfare, now let's take action. I'm glad to know that organizations like the National Farm to School Network and many others have long supported these same initiatives and have been taking action! This work can't be done alone. We need everyone to do join us at the table.
