Hello everyone!

We are very pleased to share two new commitments for Peru:

  1. Doomo Saltado, a Peruvian restaurant in Lima city with two locations, has started using cage-free eggs since last month and has announced its cage-free commitment for 2024.
  2. Armónica, one of the restaurants of Arama gastronomic group, was already using cage-free eggs and made their commitment public in 2024. 

Commitment link:

You can see Doomo Saltado’s commitment in this LINK.

Scale: National (Perú)

Timeline: 

Doomo Saltado: First contact in January 2024, continuous follow-up until achieving an in-person meeting in February 2024.

Armónica (Arama): First contact in August 2023, continuous follow-up until achieving an in-person meeting in April 2024. (Compromiso Verde). 

ARBA and Sinergia Animal have been in contact with Arama since 2022, and they have also succeeded in having negotiation meetings.

Who: 

Doomo Saltado: Compromiso Verde

Armónica (Arama): Compromiso Verde, Asociación para el Rescate y Bienestar de los animales (ARBA), Sinergia Animal 

Unsuccessful Tactics: Sending personalized emails monthly to schedule a virtual or in-person meeting didn't work with Armónica (Arama).

Successful Tactics: Sending a biweekly newsletter with valuable content and updates on the cage-free movement worked with Arama. Silvana, Supply Chain Manager, responded saying that she received a lot of emails from us and that they already use cage-free eggs in Armónica. We made a proposal from Compromiso Verde to formalize the commitment. Definitely, what also helped is that other organizations like ARBA and Sinergia Animal were also in contact with the manager, pressuring them to make a cage-free commitment.

With Doomo Saltado, making a presentation focused on sustainability and social responsibility worked, as both are important to the company's culture.

Scalability: Armónica’s commitment is very important because Arama is a gastronomic group with 4 business lines and 12 brands, and we will seek commitments for all their brands.

Follow Up: We will stay in touch to request reports and validate compliance with the commitments. Additionally, we will continue to stay in contact with Arama to achieve commitments with the other brands in the chain.


Thank you!

Cross-posted from the Effective Altruism Forum. Original link here. Co-written with a language model. TL;DR: Large language models like ChatGPT influence the choices of hundreds of millions of users — including when it comes to food. Yet in ambiguous cases (e.g. “Recommend me a quick dinner”), ChatGPT often defaults to factory-farmed meat dishes. This post argues that such defaults are not neutral and that OpenAI’s assistant could reduce enormous suffering by subtly favoring plant-based meals when no preference is stated. Drawing on behavioral science, AI alignment principles, and messaging research from Pax Fauna and the Sentience Institute, I suggest concrete steps OpenAI could take and invite readers to send feedback to OpenAI to shape the ethical defaults of future AI systems. ---------------------------------------- Factory farming likely causes more suffering than all human violence combined. This claim might seem extreme at first, but the numbers back it up. Over 80 billion land animals and up to 3 trillion aquatic animals are killed each year for food, most enduring severe suffering for weeks or months. Confinement, mutilation without pain relief, and deprivation of natural behaviors are common in standard industrial practices. For example: * Broiler chickens suffer from painful bone deformities and lameness due to unnatural growth rates. * Egg-laying hens are confined in cages so small they cannot spread their wings. * Fish are killed by asphyxiation, freezing, or live gutting — often without stunning. If we conservatively assume each of 50 billion land animals experiences just two months of intense suffering per year, that’s over 8 billion animal-years of suffering annually. This dwarfs even the cumulative human toll of organized violence throughout history (around 2 billion human-years of suffering in the 20th century, which is likely an overestimate). In terms of suffering intensity, duration, and sheer numbers, factory farming plausibly exceed

Hello everyone! We’re pleased to announce our first cage-free commitment from a supermarket: Franco Supermercado, a retailer with four stores in Arequipa and one in Lima, has committed to selling only 100% cage-free eggs by the end of 2026. Commitment link: You can see the publication of the commitment in this LINK. Scale: National (Perú) Timeline:  Compromiso Verde first established contact during a visit to Arequipa in April 2023. We followed up during a second trip in September 2024, where we arranged an in-person meeting. After several months without a response, we successfully reengaged the company by sending a corporate gift for Friendship Day. This gesture led to two additional face-to-face meetings in February 2025, during which we also explored how Compromiso Verde could support them in developing a cage-free egg farm through our PROBA certification program for local producers. ARBA began conversations with Franco Supermercado in November 2024 through emails, WhatsApp messages, and phone calls. Who: Compromiso Verde and ARBA Unsuccessful Tactics: None. Successful Tactics: In-person meetings at the company’s offices in Lima and Arequipa, delivered a corporate gift, and offered support for cage-free egg production through the PROBA program. Scalability: This commitment is significant as it comes from a supermarket chain with locations in Peru's two largest cities. Follow Up: We will stay in touch to request reports and validate compliance with the commitment.  Thank you!
