Do you make an effort to buy humanely raised eggs? Think organic, free range are all humanely raised?
This research might surprise you - it did me! Egg cartons are covered in statements that are confusing and often misleading. If you are not able to buy farm direct, the Cornucopia Institute has developed an "Organic Egg Scorecard" that provides accurate information.
What quickly becomes obvious is that just because eggs are "organic" doesn't mean they are humanely raised. In fact, there are "organic" factory farm operations with more than 80,000 "organic" hens in a single building.
The second thing the Organic Egg Scorecard reveals is exactly which brands of eggs found in your local stores are produced using the best organic practices and with the most ethical regard for the hens.
