Snacking is fr a huge part of student life. Up late studying? Keep alert with cookies. Rushing off to class? Grab an energy bar. Hanging with friends after school? Break out the chips. See what we’re saying? 😏

But just because something is important to us does NOT give us the right to ruin others’ lives. Cows, chickens, pigs, and other animals used for food deserve to enjoy their lives, just as we do. How can we help make sure this happens? As it turns out, our power lies in our snacking habits!
