GAP says their standards reflect agricultural science research & achievable, practical application.

Yet it sounds like basic animal rights are not practical to them.



Basic rights have nothing to do with being practical.

Unless it's a greenwashing tactic.

This is a screenshot of the global animal partnership website and it says word for word: ‘’GAP’s animal welfare certified program uses a tiered labelling strategy, signaling to consumers how the animals were raised. The higher the number, the more the animal’s environment mimics a natural environment. 
1. Base certification
2. Enriched environment
3. Outdoor access
4. Pasture raised
5. Animal centered
5+. Entire life on farm

GAP’s comprehensive standards allow for continuous improvement in farm animal welfare. Our standards reflect the latest research in agricultural science combined with achievable, practical application. 


GAP’s 5‑Tiers simplified (differs per species):

Tier 1: no cages, basic indoor systems
Tier 2: enriched indoors
Tier 3: outdoor access
Tier 4: pasture‑centered
Tier 5: animal‑centered: bred for outdoor life.
Tier 5+: entire life & slaughter on same farm

Examples of why even non profits need funding:

- Incorporation fees
- Staff

- Audits
- Program research & development



Possible funding sources: founders, grants, donations, in-kind support or loans (collateral / revenue history missing).



So how was GAP funded? 



#HealthyLiving #FoodLabel

Starting a physical business, even a nonprofit, requires funding.



- GAP was initiated by Whole Foods. 



- GAP claims independence from Whole Foods.



How independent were they in the early days?



Where did GAP get their funding for early operations?

Global Animal Partnership - Wikipedia

Did you know Whole Foods founded GAP?


Did you know WF continuously held GAP board seats?


Did you know a WF executive simultaneously worked at GAP as executive director from 2014–2022?

Does GAP sound independent to you?

Reading Food Labels Without Confusion 📖🤔

Most people underestimate how much they’re eating simply because they don’t realize a package has multiple servings.

Knowing serving sizes teaches portion control not restriction, helping you manage energy balance.

The FDA calls for at-a-glance nutrition labels on the front of packaged foods The FDA wants front-of-package nutrition labels required on packaged foods. The labels would tell consumers if the product has Low, Medium or High levels of saturated fat, sodium and added sugar.

Finally… hopefully it will make a difference 🤷‍♀️
