The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic means that more people are struggling, which is why PETA donated 4 tons of delicious vegan food to those who are facing financial difficulties and worrying about their health. Animal agriculture creates breeding grounds for pathogens that cause outbreaks of illness, so our donation was vegan—we want to encourage people to make a change for the better now in order to help prevent pandemics in the future.

Community Solidarity, the largest vegetarian hunger relief program in the country, operates the Huntington Food Share on Long Island, New York, where volunteers distribute free vegan groceries, clothing, and warm meals every week, come rain or come shine.

PETA’s gift included frozen pasta dishes generously donated by PETA Business Friend Plant Based Foods, Inc. The tagliatelle with mushrooms, vegan ravioli with tomato and basil, and panzerotti with spinach and dairy-free cheddar were huge hits with pantry guests, as were an assortment of creamy gourmet vegan cheeses made from sprouted brown rice. Approximately 900 people received these assorted meals along with a huge box of fresh produce and a vegan starter kit. Community Solidarity distributed the leftover meals to “free fridges” in New York City and to other food banks in Long Island.

Showing how tasty vegan meals can be while feeding struggling people is a great way to feed two birds with one scone. Going vegan not only saves the lives of nearly 200 animals every year but also significantly reduces a person’s risk of suffering from health problems, including cancer, heart disease, strokes, and obesity. If you’re already vegan, help someone else make the switch!

To mark World Day for the End of Speciesism tomorrow as the world battles the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, which is believed to have originated in a meat market—and because slaughterhouses are recognized as virus hot spots—PETA is sending a “Grim Reaper” to haunt a local Giant Eagle grocery store to urge shoppers to increase their chances for a long and happy life by going vegan. “Speciesism” is the archaic belief that humans are superior to all other animals and makes people think it’s OK to confine them on filthy factory farms and then send them to slaughterhouses.

When:    Saturday, August 29, 12 noon

Where:    Outside Giant Eagle, 5550 Centre Ave. (at the intersection with S. Negley Avenue), Pittsburgh

“All animals, humans included, want to live and experience happiness, and going vegan is a vote for life—theirs and ours,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA is asking shoppers to push their carts right past the meat aisle, for animals’ sake and their own.”

The novel coronavirus is believed to have originated in a Chinese “wet market,” where live and dead animals are sold for human consumption; swine flu began on a U.S. factory farm; and other influenza viruses have been traced to chickens. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that approximately 75% of recently emerged infectious diseases affecting humans originated in other animals.

PETA’s motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat.” For more information, please visit PETA.org.
