This week the governor of Maine signed into law a bill that will protect farm animals by banning veal crates and gestation crates! The bill’s passage makes Maine the sixth state in the nation to prohibit certain types of extreme confinement of farm animals. Last fall, California voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 2, a ballot initiative that also eliminates veal crates and gestation crates as well as battery cages for egg-laying hens in the state. Farm Sanctuary was a main backer of this landmark legislation, as well as similar successful anti-confinement initiatives in Florida and Arizona. In addition, Oregon and Colorado have passed laws prohibiting certain cruel factory farming confinement practices.

Raquel, I just read your comment on my blog about sending me some info. on what to eat. I'm so appreciative I can't tell you! Thank you! I'm looking forward to it. Brandon and I want to trim down post-pregnancy (husbands gain, too because they eat what you eat). Thanks again!
