Organic eggs/ free range

[stinkynuts]

I try to buy organic or free range eggs. They may cost a bit more, but the chickens are are treated humanely and fed natural food.
The eggs you normally buy are laid by chickens who are treated like egg laying machines and are not even allowed to move freely, kept in cages . They are stressed and fed chemicals and the eggs are of inferior quality.
The best eggs are from local farms.

Although there is no difference in nutrition, the main thing you are paying for is the happy lives if chickens who laid their eggs for you.

My SO only buys organic, I only buy non organic. I swear there is no taste difference and this should be put to the pepsi challenge. I have no love for chickens, they are ill tempered and dirty. I really don’t care how happy we imagine they can be. Our empathy towards how happy farm animals can be is a preposterous stretch.

Can you imagine what chickens say around the water feeder about us? Lol

You’d actually be surprised to learn firsthand what characters and personalities chickens have! I had a gf who raised fancy chickens and they each had incredibly well developed personalities. They are indeed sentient beings. So I do feel bad about how they are raised in factory farms. But it’s out of my control so I just try not to think about it.

Having said that, I buy whatever Burnbrae brand eggs are on sale. It is as good and ethical of a factory farm as I’ve ever seen and they are a huge Ontario family farming operation.

All animals have feelings, though. And we are just animals as well. Just because we are more powerful doesn't mean that we shouldn't treat them humanely. I am a meat eater, and am not against eating animals. But if there is a way to minimize the pain, then I think it should be done. If I have to pay $5 instead of $3 for eggs, and that means the chickens that laid the eggs for me were able to roam around freely and treated well, rather than be crowded in cages and treated like egg-laying machines, then I'd be more than happy to. I don't disagree that there is little if no difference in taste or even nutrition, but it's about treating other creatures with respect and empathy.

You may seem them as difrty creatures, yet you eat them. I see them as living creatures worthy of respect, and I am grateful for them giving up their lifves so I can live.

Ok I get that.

I buy the Free Run Extra Large Brown Eggs from President's Choice. I assume they are free range.

It seems Organic Meadows no longer sells eggs. I tried to find them once.
Please disregard. I found the story. Maybe I will splurge for some in the summer, when they should be better with the chickens outdoors.
