Species.

That is no life for these birds.

And it is definitely not what the consumer is thinking or assuming when they see these nice labels and they, you know,

oh, I'm paying so much more for this. That change must be going for the animals, right? No,

it's lining pockets and it's keeping that status quo of that factory farm going.

Yeah. farm going. Hi, I'm Elizabeth Novogratz.

This is Species Unite.

Most of us want to make choices that are kinder to animals, to the planet, and to ourselves.

But in today's food system, kindness is often buried under labels like cage-free, humane certified, or even climate-friendly beef.

These terms are designed to make us feel good, but as Pita's Amber

Canavan reveals, they hide the same suffering and environmental destruction. For more than a

decade, Amber has led campaigns that expose humane washing and pushed companies from Starbucks to

Whole Foods to do better.

This conversation is about pulling back the curtain on the myths we've been sold

and about the power that each of us has to choose differently.

One of the simplest, most impactful ways to take action is with what's on our plate.

That is why this October we are inviting you to join

the Species Unite Plant Power Challenge. A 30-day adventure to try delicious, cruelty-free food,

reduce your climate footprint, and stand with the animals. Because real change doesn't come from labels.

It comes from us.

Hi, Amber. Welcome. It's really nice to meet you. You as well. Thanks for having me.
