Dear John,
Breaking news! Los Angeles County just passed another game-changing policy that will spare countless animal lives while reducing the environmental and public health costs tied to its food purchases.
The new policy tasks county government with incorporating the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's updated Standards for Prepared Foods, Snacks, and Beverages into all new and renewing county foodservice bid requests and contracts. The updated standards include a requirement that county foodservice operations serve at least one plant-based entree every day, a requirement that plant-based alternatives to dairy products be made available, and a recommendation that plant-based entrees, side items, snacks, desserts, and beverages be priced competitively with comparable options. In addition, the new policy tasks the county with setting ambitious greenhouse gas emissions-reduction goals for its food purchasing and ensures transparency in the process.

We are grateful to Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Hilda Solis for championing this transformative policy. They're demonstrating that governments can take bold action to support environmental sustainability, public health, fiscal responsibility, inclusivity, and—crucially—animal welfare by prioritizing plant-based options as the centerpieces of county meals.
This victory wouldn't be possible without your steadfast support. Thank you for standing up for animals and helping create a food system that's not only kinder but more just and sustainable for all. Together, we are making a lasting difference.
Gratefully,
Alex Cerussi
Senior State Policy Manager
