Buy free range eggs dammit

Needed some eggs while shopping. I ignored the own brand stuff as that will come from battery hens and instead selected a box of ‘Respectful’ eggs. It had rolling green hills, sunshine and a wind generator on the box picture. Their hens were ‘green’ because only renewable energy was used and the hens had some sort of ‘dust’ to use. But despite the nice picture, the nice font and all those ‘green’ words it did not specifically say how the hens lived. For all I knew they lived in hole in the ground or a cage they could not turn around in. So I put them back and bought some that did say the hens could wander outside all day. All that advertising for which they undoubtedly put the price up and all to shift their battery eggs. Shame some people will enrich them.

    *Organic* food is another racket. It is full of more crap than the regular stuff.
    Around here all the mishaped fruit and veg is repackaged as *Organic* at a premium price. And it sells like hot cakes. LOL.
