I get mine from the neighbors chicken coup down the road most of the time, or I buy the cage-free ones, they aren't as runny and taste better. They are only .50 more at the moment, they are on their way up though.
I got offered a 20,000$ a year contract to run a hog confinement last week, all I would have to do is walk through for disiese patrol twice a day, check feeders and set the feed truck delivery and arrange the trucking for the hogs when they are mature enough to be sold. The animals are all contracted to Tyson.
I said No....Please me, have no regrets, that would of been good money for very little extra work.

Yeah screw tyson. Plus their chicken isn't even good, it's just weird and squishy like foam.

I couldn't watch your video - but I "know" what was on it.
Thats why Im slowly switching to a more vegie/fish lifestyle. When I prepare meals - my hubby-to-be likes to proclaim "And now, suffering free food!" I like that way that sounds.

When I was a child my grandmother used to grab chickens out of the coup, carry them over to the wood chopping stump and chop their heads off with a hatchet(no joke). Then she would carry their twitching bodies over to her clothes-line and hang them by their feet, good ol' granny, I could hardly watch but it didn't fase her.
I grew up eating real chicken, that Tyson stuff has serious problems and my body does not like digesting it... YUCK anyways, it's texture is all wrong.
Now my uncle and nieghbors have chickens so I don't buy the stuff very often, FTW. Eggs are free, meats come by offering to do a little work in my free-time.

Even fish are a problem. I haven't decided on what's best to do about that yet.
It's projected that the world's fisheries (the natural ones) are going to collapse at the rate we are going by 2040 or 2050. We are fishing away the ocean to the point of worldwide oceanic ecosystem collapse.
On the other hand we have farm-raised fish wich are dirty, not as good, and also do their part in massively polluting the world through their wastes and nutrient runoff.
Shit, it's like you can't win one way or the other..

I know it.
I hunt a lot of my meat and buy or work off 1/4's of beef and pork right off farmers. I don't buy fish much either unless it's a resteraunt, I like to catch my own... Not that it's any healthier, fish clean the water so toxins wind up in their flesh.......
I stopped worrying about it, I just avoid the system as much as possible and do it myself as often as I can.

well some of us are on extreme budgets and the extra dollar a dozen does not seem like a good trade off... though i know chicken ranches are horrid places. that can be attested to the smell.

And why is that? The fact this stuff goes on tells us that regulations are not right enough in terms of animal torture.
You have any evidence to support your claims, prisoner 1? I put forth mine..now it's your turn. =)

If you can't spend a dollar a week extra to support cage free or whatever else, then you must be on food stamps. Almost anyone can afford that. The extra dollar is NOT an excuse to buy caged animal products. C'mon.

He'll slaughter you, I don't like animal suffering but those sights are crap. The people running them are making nonprofit bank and not doing much else but spreading propaganda and I'm not going to get into this with my facts. I don't like some farming practices but there is enough BS laws and regulations that make it hard enough for honest men to make their living farming, I don't think higher regulations is the answer.
I mostly see cage-free and organic labels are marketing scams, I let my tongue and budget decide otherwise.

Nah he won't, because this happens. Cage free is cage free. Prove it prisoner.

unfortunately not all cage-free hens are better than large industry conditions
cage-free, pasture foraging, (not necessarily vegetarian but that's neutral) is what you want, with no antibiotics, artificial vitamins or sunlight, and that have beaks intact
I recently went back to white eggs to save a few dollars a month, and I forgot about the taste difference. Also, why are white eggs so much harder to crack and more prone to brittleness? Calcium deficiency?

The way I see it is cage free is a step up from factory, while cage free+organic is a step above both.

If I spend an extra dollar to support something, I'll start with the humans.

This is my point exactly. A person I know dodges all this cage-free stuff but his birds are wing-to-wing in a confinement and never see the light of day.

Which brings us to the consumer - how the fuck does a consumer know which are in a warehouse cage free and which are roaming the land freely, cage free? Damnit !!

Or you could just do both and realize 2 bucks a week is chump change.
