A big win for little mayo this week: The FDA finds that Hampton Creek can continue calling its egg-free mayo “Just Mayo.”
The egg industry may not be that pleased by the decision, but it has other concerns, too. An Ohio paper headlined with week: “Pressure cracks egg industry,” with the first sentence reading, “Bye-bye, bird cages.” And even Egg Industry magazine published a major story on how the egg industry’s future is one without cages. And that’s not just in the US. They say the no-cage revolution is rocking Latin America now, too.
And some promising news for cows this week, with Ben & Jerry’s telling its milk suppliers: no more tail-cutting of dairy cows.
Finally, my coworker Dr. Michael Greger’s new book, How Not to Die, is at #6 on the NY Times bestseller list this week! (Hint: Makes a great stocking stuffer…)
