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.

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.

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.

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.

I think there is bigger fish to fry at this moment in time, personally animal suffering isn't much compared to human suffering in the world we live in.

I'm an arrogant human though, I think we are better than chickens.

I don't see why people can't focus on 2 good goals at once. It isn't hard to do. And if anything I view the animals as being superior to the humans, because they were here first, they didn't knowingly fuck up the ecosystem for all of evolution to fix, and humans have only been here for a fraction of evolutionary time.

But regardless of what you think, why not just multi task and be for both causes?

There are several guides published that tell you which fish are sustainable to eat and which ones cause environmental harm to harvest. Here's one such guide: http://blueocean.org/seafood/

Dude. Are you joking? It's like 50 cents to a dollar more for uncaged eggs, are you that poor? I find that pretty hard to believe.

You really have a bias against these groups as a whole, it seems. Surely these organizations are not all on the same plane as PETA.

I am. I don't have health insurance and I struggle to pay for schooling. Buying $6 milk and $4 eggs isn't high on my list of priorities. It isn't realistic for poor people. It's like telling poor people to buy hybrids and install solar panels on their homes. But I would like to do it someday.

You are 100% correct, I do not trust any organization who asks for money. I have no reason for it and I haven't seen one make any difference as far as I'm concerned. I live in a agriculture economy and I see family farmers selling out to cooperates every day, nearly all of them have and the ones who haven't are loosing ground and either will sell out or lose it all. I'd rather buy a hog off them than read that stuff.

Holy shit 6$ for milk?

Here, in Iowa, Organic whole milk by the gallon is under 3$ and the fanciest name on all of the eggs doesn't top 2.50$. 35k is a moderate living here though.

The cage free eggs I buy at hannaford costs 2.99
The organic milk I buy at hannaford is 3.50-4.50, I can't remember, but that's for a gallon

It is in no way akin to telling people to buy hybrids. I'm sure you have plenty-an-indulgence that you can shave off a couple extra bucks on and not even feel the difference. To each his own, I still respect your choice, given that you've weighed the options, at least

"Free-range" is not a legal industry term; therefore it is essentially meaningless. Farmers use the term to imply that they practice a more humane standard of production but, in reality, there is no regulation regarding how the word is interpreted or used. Although most consumers imagine free-range hens have access to the outdoors with plenty of sunlight, vegetation, and normal social interaction, to most egg producers, the "range" is simply a bigger cage than those in which battery-caged hens are kept.

Free-range egg farming is, above all else, a business. Consequently, profit surpasses concern for the animals' comfort, welfare, or behavioral needs. In addition, it is common for free-range layers to be debeaked just like battery-caged layers.

But even if free-range hens were treated with kindness and given all the space they could use, they will still be killed for meat when their egg production wanes, usually after one or two years, even though in a natural environment a hen could live fifteen years. And, like all other animals raised for food, they will be subjected to the horrors and abuses of transportation, handling, and slaughter.

An inherent problem with all egg production, whether free-range or battery-caged, is the disposal of unwanted male chicks at the hatchery. Because male chicks don't lay eggs and do not grow fast enough to be raised profitably for meat, they are deemed a financial liability, except for the few used as rooster studs. On average, one rooster is used to service ten hens. Hence, nine out of ten male chicks are considered virtually useless and will be killed by the cheapest means available, including suffocation and being ground up alive.

No matter what words or systems are used to candy coat animal production, when we treat sentient beings as commodities we invariably invite abuse. From a vegan perspective, the use of animals for human profit or gain, regardless of how they are raised or treated, is incompatible with vegan principles and the practice of compassionate living.

I've only seen Stonyfield Farms and Organic Valley around here. They range around $6. It's $3.29 for a gallon of regular milk, the kind with the pus and hormones.

All acid heads should move to Iowa and take it over.  Everyone is leaving, real estate is cheap we could make our own colony and take over entire towns, the MS-13 mexican mafia is already doing it and they aren't peaceful, I guess that would never work :frown:

The Mexican mafia is taking over towns in Iowa?

Is Iowa one of the states giving free land to professionals for moving in? I'd move to Iowa if my neighbors weren't in eyesight.

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.

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 :tongue:

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.

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.

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

I don't think that maturity has anything to do with compassion. I retract calling you a fag, and will spend some time to lay things out. You called me soulless, because I believe differently than you, and that's immature. What's adulthood man? I've been paying my own bills since I was 17, Is that it? No. It's probably when you realize in life that there's more important things then worrying about what other people do and how the food you eat has been treated before it's death.

I eat veil, brah. And only feel marginally bad about that.

No, but generally when you're mature you don't call someone a "fag" for caring about animal treatment.

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".


Maybe once you achieve the maturity of adulthood you'll think otherwise. I can tell by the use of the word 'fag' that you still haven't broken out of high school maturity.




I don't think that maturity has anything to do with compassion. I retract calling you a fag, and will spend some time to lay things out. You called me soulless, because I believe differently than you, and that's immature. What's adulthood man? I've been paying my own bills since I was 17, Is that it? No. It's probably when you realize in life that there's more important things then worrying about what other people do and how the food you eat has been treated before it's death.

I eat veil, brah. And only feel marginally bad about that.



There's a difference between my opinion of you being soulless for not caring about animals, and you calling someone a fag for caring about animals. You can have your own priorities but the maturity thing only kicked in when I saw you say fag.

Excuse me for being stoned when I posted that. Although I do generalize homosexuality with things like veganism, humanitarianism, and people who are anal about eating "organic food". I also don't see what this has to do with maturity either.

Must be a bunch of high schoolers in here..not surprising.

We got rustifer who still refers to nonsexual acts as making you gay, and then we got DMT posting pics of beastiality in the comment section. Nice.

I always find the most naive, and dramatic people to be the ones caught up with maturity.

Just as gay has changed from one meaning to another in the past, it has done so for a second time within our generation, into a word meaning something frowned upon, or to be ashamed of. Get over it.

There never was anything to get over, you can be immature if you want. Most mature people aren't bigots.

Take a trip over to dictionary.com and look up bigotry, because that's exactly what you committed in your first post. Keep your opinions about things like this under wraps, because they offend some people. The only thing I'm intolerant of is people trying to shove their beliefs down my throat. And, there is something to get over, the fact that for every one person like you, there's 1000 like me that don't give a fuck about an animals life. And most of them don't like being talked down to because of their dietary choices.

So Mr. Maturity, you just proved your maturity, or lack of.

seriously what higher purpose do chickens have besides eggs and meat? EAT MORE CHICKEN.

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley

you all know me

i used to kill 800 chickens aday

i really liked the automatic throat slicer,it got boring killing them by hand

we used to grab the chickens with the thumb under the beak,twist the head slightly and out pops a little red gland,then we gl;ided the knife over the gland slicing it.

i broke a few chickens legs that wouldnt fit in the shackles but i said sorry as i did it

a few used to get missed and go straight into the plucker alive and come out red...thats not white...RED hahaha

cluckety cluck

oh yeah, ever seen blood form into a jelly carpet 1/2 a foot thick?

slippery when wet

i only eat breast btw,i actually prefer a boiler hen to a plumped up watery hormone pumped hen

Holy fuck dude you're still in here telling everybody to grow up?

I say a large percentage of America enjoys being on the top of the food chain, and wishes you would shut the fuck up.

Mind your own business and get out of what other people are eating or doing with their money, that's part of growing up.

No it is not.

Someone really should take away your opinion expressing privileges.

I'm going to go ahead and put you on ignore, you've really been making the shroomery gay the last few days.

Oh hey, I killed a deer today. I fucked his shit up, 30-06 round entered in front of his right shoulder, and exited through through the left shoulder. It was pretty fucking nasty seeing what the bullet did his shoulder while I was cleaning him. No wonder the guy only took one step. I love taking life.

I was going to enjoy having all of that meat in my freezer, but for you, I think I'm going to throw it all away, and kill another deer instead.

Because it is my business that animals are being subjected to more than cruel living conditions. I don't care if people are using the things to eat food, for entertainment, whatever - the bottom line is that this shouldn't happen.

All I said was that people SHOULD support cage free industries. This isn't prodding into anyone's business at all. People came to this thread at their own will.

It may not necessarily be my business to find out what everyone is eating, as they can keep that to themselves. But it sure is my business to prevent industries from torturing and abusing animals.

i use to have chickens growing up, when you have them cage free you need to burn their beaks off because they will peck eachother to death

when we would kill the chickens to be butchered, i would just put my boot on its head, and rip its head clean off. Its true what they say about chickens running around with their heads chopped off.
