Summary: The American Pastured Poultry Producers Association supports the petition to distinguish actual pasture-raised products from "greenwashing." They argue that clear labeling protects consumers from deceptive marketing, ensures fair compensation for farmers, and promotes the ethical treatment of animals.
For the protection and ethical treatment of consumers, farmers, and animals, we need to be able to distinguish actual pasture raised products from greenwashing. Consumers need confidence that their dollar is going towards supporting the practices they believe they are paying for. Farmers need to be compensated for their efforts to do right by the animal and consumer. And animals need our help incentivizing their ethical treatment, or at least support farmers enough to offer this lifestyle for them. This would be a win-win-win, on top of making the government more trustworthy.
