- Cthulhu_ 8y agoIf the labels and laws are not to be trusted, you can always have your own chickens and look after their welfare yourself.
- harimau777 8y agoIn much of the US that's against the law (and that's not even including people who live in apartments without yards).
- rootusrootus 8y agoBut if it is important to you, then sourcing ethically produced eggs is not particularly difficult.
- greglindahl 8y agoPeople disagree about what's ethical.
- rootusrootus 8y agoTrue. I could also probably find people who think cutting down plants isn't ethical.
- wool_gather 8y agoRegardless, whatever your "ethical treatment of a fowl" criteria are, you are fairly likely to be able to find eggs that meet it.
- throwaway400 8y agoTake a drive out to the country sometime, you'll find farms that'll sell you eggs. They usually have a sign that says "fresh eggs".
- seba_dos1 8y agoHave you actually tried it? It's feasible if you occasionally eat some eggs, but if your diet is mostly based on eggs you simply won't have enough. The main reason of animal abuse on chicken farms is scaling the supply to reach the demand. Not even speaking about the fact that it's pretty difficult for somebody who lives in a city and doesn't own a car.
