Each year in Australia alone, some 500 million chickens are slaughtered for their meat. It’s a shocking statistic, but it’s true. Thankfully, with awareness of the cruelty inherent to the meat industry ever on the rise, more and more caring people are becoming empowered to make kinder choices for animals.
More chickens are eaten annually than any other land animal in the world, and they suffer enormously in the process of getting to dinner plates. So, if you’re among the 1 in 3 Aussies who are putting the chicken before the nugget by eating fewer or no animals, you’re part of a powerful global movement for change!
Together, we can shape a world where our feathered friends are valued not for what their bodies can produce, but as the sweet, gentle, and clever individuals they are.
And whether you’re eating plant-based primarily for animals, the environment, or your health, you can still enjoy all your favourite foods along the way. It’s truly never been easier to find chook-friendly options in stores!
Here are some of our favourite plant-based chicken products you can find in major Australian supermarkets:
