Here we outline some of the aspects of a dairy cow’s life, some of which also apply to sheep and goats, to explain why we marked butter companies down under the Animal Rights category for sale of dairy. Separation of calf from mother In Post and Quaker, you will see them less often as many of their cereals aren’t fortified with Vitamin A. This list is not guaranteed and is meant as a starting point.

Thank you for letting me know it was confusing. I've revised the post and kept the header "Vitamin A Palmitate in cereal" as the first title. Hopefully, it's clearer now. I also mentioned Vitamin A Acetate sooner in the post. Still, in the cereals I found, Vitamin A Palmitate was more common. This report covers butter, margarine and spreads, including vegan non-dairy alternatives. What is the difference between butter, margarine and a spread? Many Kellogg’s, General Mills, and Post cereals will state palm oil or palm kernel oil right on the ingredients.

It’s also very cheap and easy to make. Now the “issue” that arises here is that these fully hydrogenated oils contain saturated fats. Saturated fats could also negatively impact our cholesterol and increase risk of heart disease. Think of the blood flowing through you getting “gunked” up by hard waxy stuff so it doesn’t flow as easily. The recommendation is to keep sat fat to roughly 13g per day. Now, to be honest, I don’t recommend you go counting this stuff. If you have a well rounded diet with fruits, veggies, etc. even if you enjoy some Oreos or ice cream, you’ll still be fine. It’s the big picture.

It supports heart health and has a minimal effect on blood sugar. "In addition to being satiating, peanut butter with no added sugar is a relatively low-carbohydrate food and does not have a significant impact on blood sugar. Studies show that people who regularly include nuts, including peanut butter, in their diets are less likely to develop heart disease or type 2 diabetes than those who rarely eat nuts," says Elle Penner, MPH, RD, of Modern Minimalism. All other companies received a middle or worst rating, including the vegan alternatives – as they did not discuss steps taken to reduce emissions in enough detail, did not report on emissions figures and/or did not provide targets for reduction in line with international goals. Small vegan companies, such as Best Buys Tiana and Mouse’s Favourite, had a lower bar and received a middle by virtue of offering a lower-carbon alternative, although they did not discuss emissions reductions in detail. Product SustainabilityIngredients: A good rule of thumb for choosing a healthy peanut butter is to look for one with the fewest ingredients. When possible, look for options that contain just peanuts and maybe salt. The CAP was reformed over the years, with the food mountains got rid of by ceasing to subsidise farmers to produce, instead paying them just to keep land in “agricultural condition”. This too has been pretty brutally criticised, partly for being a very regressive subsidy to land owners just for being land owners, and partly for incentivising them to clear wild land so it counts as being in “agricultural condition”. Is it organic? Butter and spreads contain ingredients that are often grown with the excessive use of synthetic pesticides and herbicides. Look for organic to avoid the environmental damage that these cause.
