Just take a small amt. of time and read this. YOUR choice in buying eggs can change the whole entire industry and save lives. Just a chicken you say? C'mon. What did a chicken ever do to you except suffer it's entire life? That's not necessary. Purchase the right kinda eggs, man.
Standard eggs, otherwise known as regular eggs, commercially produced
eggs, conventional eggs, battery farm eggs or just "eggs" are
unfortunately the most common type of eggs found in our supermarkets
and shops.
The chickens are kept in small cages, anything between 3 - 7
hens per cage, so there is not enough room for the hens to exercise. Yeah, so imagine being in a small room and living out your ENTIRE life there with oh say 7 other people!
Thousands of these cages are found in large artificially lit sheds that
can contain from around 20,000 - 100,000 birds altogether. The hens are
fed
containing antibiotics, hormones and other chemicals. You don't think over our lifetime this shit doesn't have an effect on us. Please...
Obviously, due to a high output and minimum care for the birds, the
cost of this type of egg is low and therefore standard eggs are the
cheapest eggs that you can buy in the shops. This is all well and good
for the consumer, yet the hens suffer. NOT a good tradeoff people!
Oh, and those high Omega-3 eggs?? Don't be fooled. They live in the same horrid conditions unless it says "Free Range" on them.
Make GOOD and EDUCATED choices in your food buying. Yeah, spend a little more. The more of us who do it, the more the price will drop b/c consumers will be demand a larger supply of good and righteous food!
