      In a high cost-of-living area too?

      $7.42 at Wal-Mart in Northern California omg wtf (that’s for the fake cage free, that discount store doesn’t even have the pasture raised at all)

        I‘m glad Austria banned battery cage systems in 2009 and the EU banned it in 2012. Also, Austria banned cages in 2020 and regulated the amount of animals depending on the space of the stable.

          Good! Do you know which chickens get the most space, at minimum? California’s hens may get more than most but it’s still not enough. Even before recent price increases, it would probably take about 10 bucks to get organic pasture raised that you could feel reasonably good about.

            There’s farmers who sell “roaming chicken eggs” for ~ 65 cents a piece; they also don’t kill the male chicks and let them be with the herd. Also one of their “gimmick” is that they have a modified trailer and let the chickens roam different areas.

              Consuming animal products isn’t perfect but we still gotta do the best we can :)
