6. How to Read a Label: Practices
Natural is not enough!
The USDA allows meat to be labeled as natural even if animals
are raised on feedlots, fed bakery waste, and given antibiotics.
Instead, look for:
• No Antibiotics • Cage Free
• No Antibiotics Administered • Free Range
• No Hormones • Organic
• Humanely Raised

PACK THE NIGHT BEFORE

FREEZE IT
• Make meals ahead on the weekends and pack directly into lunch
containers
• Freeze bread for easy shape-cutting
