Foam? I thought that was the most unethical method of killing them. Should be banned.

The us has killed more than 15 million chickens just the last few weeks. Sometimes with foam. If other countries have to do that their prices will rise too. NHK had a great documentary recently about an egg family that was doing pasture raised eggs at $1 each.

Guess they shouldn’t have kept the chickens in such horrifying conditions.

It's actually kind of funny, at Aldi the price of regular eggs doubled to like $4.50, but the price of the free range eggs went up like $0.50 to $5.75. It dawned on me that the reason my egg costs have not varied that much is because I was always buying the better eggs the whole time.

Free range means they put 100k of them in a giant warehouse vs. penning them.

The eggs I'm thinking of are specifically "pasture raised" (the blue box). But you are thinking of "cage free." In the US "free range" requires access to some amount outdoor space per hen.

I haven always been buying “good eggs” but pasture raised are actually cheaper than battery at my local grocery the last few times I’ve gone. Kinda crazy.
