ARRRRG. I am so done. Eggland's Best continues to be an unwelcome omnipresence in my life. I came across this blog post the other day and it not only makes me want to continue my Cathe boycott, it makes me want to throw forks.
Just for the record, NO EGGS are actually humane. If you visited any EB facility, you would be so appalled and disgusted you would probably think I am substantially less insane. I have seen battery cages, I have been to the so-called "cage-free" facilities (Pilgrim's Pride in north Texas, for one, along with some smaller farms that were no less awful). They're bad, people. BAD. Information (with minimal disturbing photography, etc) is here. I know it's hard to look at and think about, and I hate to be one of these people who throws emotionally troubling videos at you and demands that you become vegan. I know it doesn't work that way and I don't want to be an emotional blackmailer. I just want to make it clear that this isn't something I'm inventing to enhance my feeling of moral superiority or whatever - it's not about that. This is an issue of real and terrible suffering and I find it hateful to see this degree of cruelty dressed up and presented as "even more nutritious!"
Incidentally, you can get all those same nutrients via a plant-based diet.
