Seems like the only way to know is calling up the company and asking about how the animals are raised, but even then, you're prob. getting a fluffed version.

The color of the egg depends on the individual chicken, but what he was talking about is they don't sell liquid egg whites that are "range free", and that's all he buys.

As far as organized crime is concerned, I'd say yes.

I just can't eat conventional eggs, milk or meat. The hormones, drugs and other shit they put in there really freaks me out too much 
I also don't think we should be supporting animal cruelty, but all of the additives in food today are just nasty and I avoid them wherever I can. I probably spend an extra $30/week on organic, local meat, dairy and eggs--preferably from the farmers' market. I'd rather spend this money on real, non-factory farmed food than a few drinks at the bar or some other BS.
currently, I don't have kids to support. When I do have them I hope I will be able to afford to give them pure, wholesome, additive-free food from naturally raised animals.

I'm beginning to believe you dont know what you're talking about, organic is a scam as far as market produce is concerned, this 'cage free' and 'free range' shit is no better... have you ever read from the FDA website?

It's true many corporate farms look like that. But have you also seen(or smelled) the huge corporate cow farm that you pass on I-5 going between Northern and Southern California?(I'm sure someone here must know what I'm talking about)

yah, organic is a bullshit term used to raise the price of any product with an organic label up through the roof. My friends who buy from the wholefoods store routinely pay 50 dollars or more then me in groceries for food that tastes no better then what i get at the local market.
In fact my friend once spent 3.50 on one can of organic chicken noodle soup and it was so terrible we ended up dumping the whole thing down the drain.

Yah I have to say that only a fag would give a fuck about a chicken enough to pay more for eggs.
As bad as someone who's vegetarian because eating animals is "wrong".

what I'm saying is that you have no idea about your organic foods, junjfood quoted soemthing pretty accurate, the freerange and cage free eggs are nothing more than a method to get more money, under FDA and USDA guidelines it's pretty much anything goes, they use pesticides and chemicals, these cage free critters.... they just have to have a door to the outside to qualify, they may never have seen sunlight and they're still treated like all other pullets, 30,000 in a huge shed, a small door to a small pen
you guys are buying into 30yr old information on how shits supposed to be run today

the only way to know what you're getting is to grow it yourself, currently H.J.Heinz is the largest player in the organic market followed by Con-Agra and Monsanto, they hold patents on most of the GMO seed and that's what they're growing as organic... I just wish people wouldnt jump so blindly into the shit and believe all they here, it was the research that made me purchase a farm

why not give a shit about a chicken. they've done nothing wrong, if we're going to cultivate them and eat them we might as well do it with some decency.

wastes are collected and dumped, I'd prefer to dump mine where it's least likely to offend me, 1000 cows will produce 6 tons of shit per day, dumping near the interstate affords them to take advantage of the states runoff measure.
