**Vegetarians & Vegans Unite! Cool Foods’ Vegi Bacon Bits & Dips Unveils “NO BACON DAY” Campaign to Begin On International Bacon Day September 3**

*Campaign Created To Protect Pigs & Support Pig Sanctuaries By Reducing Bacon & Pork Consumption* 

**Show Your Support September 3 - (Hashtag)#NoPigBaconDay**

**SANTA MONICA, CA., SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 –** Less than three months before most of us celebrate Thanksgiving at the expense of millions of helpless turkeys, Americans will ignore the plight of our nation’s pigs in order to mark the September 3 pork-fest known as International Bacon Day.

And if basing an entire festive day around the slaughter of pigs and the consumption of fattening and unhealthy bacon isn’t bad enough, consider that a growing number of us will not only continue to wolf down bacon many times a week throughout the rest of the year (and beyond), but will actually celebrate *another* “official” Bacon Day onDecember 30!

Determined to give a voice to all the vegetarians and vegans out there who quite literally can’t stomach the notion of basing parties and good times around the slaughter of innocent pigs, plant-based food company Cool Foods ([www.coolfoods.net](http://www.coolfoods.net/?ref=foodconsumer.org)) – makers of the new Vegi Bacon Bits & Dips line made from protein-rich pinto bean pulses – is declaring the very same September 3 as the start of its ambitious **NO BACON DAY** campaign.

**Join The Cause September 3!**   
Cool Foods invites the public to support No Bacon Day by using the hashtag #nopigbaconday and visiting [www.coolfoods.net /no-bacon-day](http://www.coolfoods.net/no-bacon-day?ref=foodconsumer.org).

According to Cool Foods founder Tom Mosk, “Cool Foods is concerned about the health risks associated with eating pork bacon and has created a better-for-your-health alternative – as standard bacon is loaded with calories, saturated fat and cholesterol. Plant-based Vegi Bacon Bits & Dips is made with pinto beans and is healthier than soy-based imitation bacon, which is often highly-processed. We also believe that if more people switch to plant-based bacon, there will be less of a need for pork bacon and this will help reduce the inhumane abuse of pigs that goes on each and every day. So please join us in making September 3, and *every* day, No Bacon Day!”

Now available on the [www.CoolFoods.net](http://www.coolfoods.net/?ref=foodconsumer.org) site and on Amazon.com ([http://goo.gl/gsbnK7](http://goo.gl/gsbnK7?ref=foodconsumer.org)) - and soon to be introduced in retail stores around the country - shelf-stable, plant-based Vegi Bacon Bits & Dips are sold in 3oz packages, as well as in 30oz food service pack sizes. 

A deliciously nutritious alternative to highly-processed soy-based imitation bacon, Vegi Bacon Bits & Dips are made via a patented process in which premium pinto beans are steamed without water waste and thereby retain their inherently rich nutrients. All of Cool Foods’ pulses are sustainably grown.
