Katie showed me this article in her issue of "Backyard Poultry". I am always saddened by some practices within our commericial food industry. I am not the type of person who will protest or become a public vocal activist, but our family works hard to live our life in the most responsible way. Always aware of the consequences of our actions. We are fortunate to be able to raise our own animals and vegetables, and don't expect everyone else to do the same. But something as simple as eggs, which is such a staple of the American diet, is readily available with a liitle effort. Most all major cities have farmers markets available. There is a multitude of "non- farming" people who have chickens and sell their eggs. You would be surprised, if you just started asking around. I know price can be an issue for some, but I believe, once you have, not only,tasted the difference, you will have great satisfaction in knowing that they came from humanely treated birds. Experiment, step out of your zone, give it a try, or just pause to think next time you grab for that dozen at the supermarket.
