By Associated Press, Published: July 24
FARM AID: One of the nation’s premier concert promoters is overhauling its concessions to serve only local produce and humanely raised meats.
THE DETAILS: Live Nation announced Wednesday that starting this week all produce served at its 38 amphitheaters around the country will be sourced from within about 100 miles of each venue.
OTHER MOVES: Additionally, all meats — some 285,000 burgers, 260,000 hot dogs and 280,000 chicken tender meals per year — will carry either Certified Humane®, Global Animal Partnership or Animal Welfare Approved certification.
