With your help, Farm Sanctuary has reached tens of millions of people with op-eds in major media outlets as we have shed light on the tens of millions of animals lost—and exposed factory farming’s role in spreading this evolving zoonotic disease that experts warn could bring about the next pandemic.
Nearly all birds commercially raised for food nationwide are confined to factory farms, where severe crowding and filthy conditions allow pathogens to spread rapidly. And when just one case of bird flu is found, entire flocks of tens of thousands of birds are cruelly killed at once.
Bird flu is a growing problem, and we know that the harms of animal agriculture can feel insurmountable. But the truth is, you can do something about this.
Yes, egg prices are high, but by choosing vegan foods, you can skip the egg aisle altogether—while doing your part to protect farmed animals and public health. To help get you started, here’s a tried-and-true favorite tofu scramble recipe from Farm Sanctuary President and Co-founder Gene Baur.
Plus, you can easily use egg substitutes, including flax seeds, aquafaba, unsweetened applesauce, or mashed bananas. You could also choose from some of the widely available vegan egg products, currently in high demand as cheaper alternatives to eggs from hens.
