Easter is well-known as a day of gift-filled baskets, family dinners, and heaps of yummy candy.
Easter activities often include egg hunts, decorating egg shells, and baking egg-laden desserts. Consequently, it's also one of the busiest seasons for factory egg farmers, who confine mother hens in cages so tightly, they're unable to walk freely, spread their wings, or engage in any natural behaviors.
Thankfully, we can choose to celebrate Easter without causing suffering. Here are some ways to make your Easter extra-sweet with vegan versions of your holiday favorites!
- Ditch the cruelty and hunt for EggNots - vegan-friendly ceramic "eggs" made for dyeing, arts & crafts, and home décor. Click here for "egg" dye recipes.
