Food for Thought - A Program of Animal Place

Food for Thought helps nonprofit organizations align their menu with their mission of saving lives. We invite any feedback on how we can be more inclusive.

Food for Thought is a program of Animal Place, one of the oldest and largest sanctuaries for farmed animals in the United States. Located in Grass Valley, California, Animal Place is home to 400 rescued animals, a guest house, a residential internship program, and innovative advocacy initiatives. Since 1989, Animal Place has been a leader in the farmed animal protection movement through rescue, sa

nctuary, and advocacy. We launched Food for Thought to help other nonprofits adopt humane, sustainable, and healthy menu policies for their sponsored events. Food for Thought is a program of Animal Place designed to help organizations like yours adopt an animal-friendly menu policy for their sponsored events. The Food for Thought program works with other nonprofit organizations to align their menu with their mission. We work with nonprofits — animal shelters, wildlife conservation organizations, environmental groups, and social justice organizations — to adopt menu policies that reflect their commitment to making the world a better place for all — human and nonhuman. At Food for Thought, we strive to support and respect people of all gender identities, racial identities, nationalities, sexualities, abilities, ages, religions, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our team recognizes that inclusiveness is an ongoing process of educating ourselves.

Farmed animals experience joy, pain, friendship, grief, and love - just the same as traditional companion animal species like dogs and cats. Is your menu policy in line with your values and mission to not harm animals?

Eat plants, not animals 🌱

On Mother's Day, it's important to celebrate mothers of all species. In the dairy, meat and egg industries, mothers don't get the chance to care for their babies - after being repeatedly impregnated they are often separated from their young immediately or shortly after birth. The mothers cry out for their babies, and mourn their loss.

Not purchasing animal products ensures your money is not supporting these practices. Let's extend compassion to mothers of all species, today and every day.

Can veganism truly help save our oceans? Let's explore the facts! 1. Overfishing is rampant. Commercial fishing industries often bottom trawl, catching large amounts of marine life - a lot of which are unwanted and discarded. This leads to populations becoming too depleted to recover, and threatens endangered species. 2. Fishing causes pollution and waste. Fishing industries litter the ocean with abandoned fishing gear, nets, and plastic. This litter ensnares wildlife and threatens endangered species. Farming industries create runoff of manure and harmful chemicals, which leech into the waterways and create dead zones where nothing can survive. This pollution and waste has drastically and dangerously reduced biodiversity within aquatic ecosystems. A vegan diet ensures your money is not supporting these practices, and helps keep aquatic ecosystems healthy and diverse. Sustainable, plant-based seafood alternatives are innovative, delicious and becoming more accessible. Omegas and marine minerals, which have been traditionally sourced via seafood, are found plentifully in plant-based foods such as seaweed, chia seeds, brussels sprouts, hemp seeds, walnuts, flaxseed and beans! #vegan #govegan #veganrecipes #veganfood #veganism #veganlife #plantbased #veganlifestyle #vegancommunity #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #poweredbyplants #crueltyfree #crueltyfreefood #vegansofinstagram #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #nonprofits #nonprofitwork

Making the connection between the food on your plate and the individual that they were is the first step towards paving the way towards a humane future for farmed animals. #vegan #govegan #veganrecipes #veganfood #veganism #veganlife #plantbased #veganlifestyle #vegancommunity #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #poweredbyplants #crueltyfree #crueltyfreefood #vegansofinstagram #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #nonprofits #nonprofitwork

Biologist Victoria Braithwaite writes in her book 'Do Fish Feel Pain?' that “there is as much evidence that fish feel pain and suffer as there is for birds and mammals.” Did you know that fish have a sharp memory? An article about fish intelligence in the U.K.’s Telegraph finds that “Australian crimson spotted rainbowfish, which learnt to escape from a net in their tank, remembered how they did it 11 months later. This is equivalent to a human recalling a lesson learnt 40 years ago.” We would never dream of exploiting, harming or consuming our canine and feline companion animals - join us in extending that compassion to all species of animal. #vegan #govegan #veganrecipes #veganfood #veganism #veganlife #plantbased #veganlifestyle #vegancommunity #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #poweredbyplants #crueltyfree #crueltyfreefood #vegansofinstagram

What is Food for Thought?

Animal Place’s Food for Thought program is designed to help animal and environmental organizations formalize healthy, sustainable, and compassionate menu policies for sponsored events.

Food choices have a powerful impact on furthering compassion toward other animals, human wellbeing, and the health of the planet. For organizations committed to encouraging kindness toward animals and environmental stewardship, a simple but significant way to make a difference is to offer exclusively plant-based foods at events.

Adopting an animal- and earth-friendly menu policies at the board level allows organizations to do the greatest good by aligning their menu with their mission.
