said two officials with Pizza hut, which began putting cheese inside its crust after holding development meetings with Dairy management,

Derek Correia, a former Pizza hut product innovations chief, said Dairy management also helped find suppliers for the extra cheese. oewe were using four cheeses, if not six,

and with a company like Pizza hut, that is a lot of supply, he said in an interview. And unlike with its advertising campaigns, Dairy management and the Agriculture department could point to specific results with these projects.

The oesummer of Cheese promotion it developed with Pizza hut in 2002 generated the use of 102 million additional pounds of cheese

Working with some of the largest food companies, Dairy management has pushed also to expand the use of cheese in processed foods and home cooking.

Just a few weeks after Nestlã's groundbreaking announcement Heinz announced that it is committed to switching 20 percent of the eggs it uses to cage-free.

With recent commitments from Kellogg's and Hershey's to use only traceable deforestation-free palm oil we see some exciting momentum building said May-Tobin.

In late August Nestlã the world's largest food company rocked animal agribusiness when it teamed up with humane organizations to announce groundbreaking reforms in the way chickens pigs cows

This change follows more than a decade of food companies announcing policy-after-policy to improve the way their suppliers treat animals.

Burger king for example announced in 2012 a policy to convert its egg supply in the United states to 100-percent cage-free;

Unilever is doing the same for its supply chain worldwide. And more than 60 other companies are working to move their pork suppliers away from gestation crates for breeding sows.

The first Mcdonald s in Kuala lumpur opened in 1982. Now there are more than 250 restaurants in Malaysia with 42%of the local fast-food market in the Klang Valley.

Mcdonald s now serves 144m happy meals#in Malaysian outlets each year. Presumably this saves 144m bored Malaysians from staring into their bowls of curry mee satay and Roti Canai.

This announcement from Cargill is the latest in a series of triumphs for animal protection advocates veterinarians food companies

In 2007 Smithfield foods the world's largest pork producer announced that it would eliminate gestation crates from all company-owned barns;

In 2012 Hormel foods the maker of SPAM followed suit. And last January Tyson foods announced it had advised the farmers in its system that future sow housing should allow animals to turn around

and engage in other natural behaviors that gestation-crate confinement prevents. As encouraging as this movement is it still is not universal.
