“Pasture Raised” could still imply that the chickens are pasture raised but still produce in “cage free” or “free range” environments

Never met a corporation which didn’t lie, Sorry I mean, market their products. Oh that’s right, I’ve actually never met a corporation, because they AREN’T PEOPLE. And their moral code (how can a non-person have a moral code) is very short. MAKE A PROFIT.

In the EU “free range” means what “free range” should.

It is good to check for the label “Humanely Certified” – that still means something.

Next, they will take a small patch of grass and put it in a warehouse and call that ‘pastured’.

Exactly, it will never be cost effective the other way. It’s a worthy thought, but will never really work in practice.

Guess they haven’t read the book by Seth Godin, “All Marketers are Liars.” Marketers will never support transparency, because they will never be able to sell anything that way. Besides, it would be way too expensive, and there will never be enough people who will give this true ‘organic’ idea a chance (if that’s really what we should call it).

Should have a nutritional analysis of the difference between the eggs included in video. Still well done, I’m am organic freak and I never heard of this.

I think they should redefine cagefree, so it’s the other way around. The outside should be bigger than the inside. The powers that be must’ve did that on purpose, like those Terms of Use agreements on software where you click “No” and it turns out, they meant, “No, I do want spyware on my computer.” (>.>)

I’m still just going to buy the cheap eggs, although I’d love it if they were “pastured.”

New term to look for when shopping.
(until big brother takes that one)
Thanks for enlightening us.
Keep up the good work.
