When raised for food, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/issues\/animals-used-for-food\/factory-farming\/\">chickens, pigs, cows, and other animals<\/a> are crammed by the thousands into filthy, windowless sheds or into wire cages where they spend the majority of their short lives before being sent to slaughter. These cruel standards are the norm regardless of whether the packaging claims animals were treated in a \u201chumane\u201d way or were \u201cgrass-fed.\u201d In the U.S., approximately 9 billion chickens are killed for their flesh each year, and more than 29 million cows suffer and die in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/issues\/animals-used-for-food\/animals-used-food-factsheets\/veal-byproduct-cruel-dairy-industry\/\">meat<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/issues\/animals-used-for-food\/animals-used-food-factsheets\/cows-milk-cruel-unhealthy-product\/\">dairy<\/a>&nbsp;industries every year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/news\/peta-sues-whole-foods-backed-program\/\">Misleading \u201chumane\u201d and \u201cwelfare\u201d labels mean nothing to the suffering animals<\/a> exploited for their bodies. <a href=\"https:\/\/headlines.peta.org\/every-animal-is-someone\/\">Every animal is someone.<\/a><strong> <\/strong>Chickens love to play and will run, jump, and sunbathe when able to express their natural behaviors. Much like humans, pigs are soothed by music, love playing ball, and even enjoy getting massages. Mother cows are deeply affectionate and form strong, lifelong bonds with their calves when they aren\u2019t torn apart by the dairy industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-media-credits=\"[{&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9 iStock.com\\\/Manhattan001&quot;,&quot;credit_link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.istockphoto.com\\\/portfolio\\\/Manhattan001?mediatype=photography&quot;}]\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-block-image--has-credit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mother-Hen-w-Chick-HP.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mother-Hen-w-Chick-HP-602x293.jpg\" alt=\"A mother hen sitting over her chicks\" class=\"wp-image-1149572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mother-Hen-w-Chick-HP-602x293.jpg 602w, https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mother-Hen-w-Chick-HP-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mother-Hen-w-Chick-HP-768x374.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mother-Hen-w-Chick-HP-750x365.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.peta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mother-Hen-w-Chick-HP.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing affordable vegan meals is a simple way to take care of your family, your budget, and animals all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/headlines.peta.org\/three-week-vegan-challenge\/#pledge\">Take the 3-Week Vegan Challenge<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"1174935\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know you can cook easy vegan meals for just a few dollars?
