Cow Appreciation Day was first created in 1995 as a marketing strategy for Chik-Fil-A. Yes. Chik-Fil-A. So the idea is if you go to one of their restaurants dressed in cow apparel will receive a free entree, and kids wearing cow apparel will receive a free kid's meal. Different food companies celebrate this day with deals like this, and they encourage their customers to eat dairy + meat. I, however have other ideas. I think that the best way to appreciate cows is to do something to help them. Whether that be learning more about them, choosing not to eat their meat or their milk, or spreading awareness, the choice is up to you.
Instead of eating burgers, I thought I would give you the most delicious plant-based options that are made cruelty free, keeping your conscience clean.
Beyond Burgers are the most readily accessible. Most grocery stores carry them and they are really delicious. It is an incredible imitation. Even if you eat meat you will love the taste!
Impossible burgers are found at lots of restaurants. So if you are planning on going out for burgers, search where you can find it near you.
If you want to go in a different direction, Gardein also has plant-based burger options as well such as their "Ultimate Beefless Burger" their "Black Bean Burger" and their "Gardein Veggie Burger". Just like Beyond Burger, Gardein products can be found at most grocery stores.
If you happen to live near a Wegmans, their store brand is great, as well!
Thank you so much for reading until the end! I hope you learned something and that you will spend this years Cow Appreciation Day, cruelty free. If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask them in the comments section below and I will do my very best to answer them for you!
Yours,
The Compassionate Dreamer
