(4,507 posts)I eat one out of the eight things on that list and I go beyond cage-free in terms of any eggs I consume.
I *never* eat the seven other things.
I'm a little surprised that pork comes in below beef. Dislike both industries, but Smithfield and the world of pork is an abomination.
How the fuck does the basic chicken (poultry) not make that list? Those poor things live *their entire lives* in spaces smaller than HALF of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. They get brutally de-beaked, because their conditions are so abysmal that the factories have to keep things below an "acceptable" cannibalism rate.
I'm a vegetarian for many good fucking reasons.
And like I said, when I eat eggs, it's only eggs from birds allowed actual outdoor time and real space of movement. When cage-free means one cruel carpet of packed in birds who can't stretch their wings - that is far from good enough.
