  I understand

  Jeff's concern with the "free range" chicken and eggs and wanting to eat them with a clear conscious.

  I am vegetarian, but until a few months ago relied on eggs to supplement my protein intake.  I went to a vegetarian festival where I picked up literature on chicken farming and learned about the debeaking process, where chicken's beaks are ripped off my machines to keep chickens from attacking each other.  I was horrified.

  I no longer eat eggs.  I live in a more urban area where it isn't feasible to get fresh eggs from a farmer who I know are treating the chickens humanely.  If I end up moving to a more rural area, I would consider finding a local farmer who raises chickens humanely.On Umbra on free-range chickens and eggs posted 3 years, 8 months ago 13 Responses
