I dont know how it is in the USA but in europe we have multiple organizations that make sure Food (Animals or not) is processed in a sustainable way. They offer a signet (?) and when producers want it on their food they have to play by the rules. Ever heard of FairTrade ? All vegans i know hardly buy any food without a signet like that, knowing that its more expensive. But the race to the bottom in food prices is one of the worst developments that leads to so much misery for animals and humans producing food.

I eat meat maybe about once a week and pay 3 times as much as i would have to, but i am not willing to support this development any further.
