Dang... our eggs are messed up

Yay, time for another food rant about, you guessed it, eggs. Do you know how we get many of our eggs?Well we get them from industrial Egg Farms unless you buy them from local farms or if you know they're free range. Six hens are trapped in a cage that can fit about one page of newspaper. They try to kill each other to get food. Yes, chickens become carnivores during their incredibly brief lives in egg farms. They try to push through the wire doors but only end up featherless and bleeding. Ten percent die in their cages! If the egg production slows down they are "force-molted" by starving them, or depriving them of light for days, so that they may lay a final egg before they die. No wonder journalists are not welcome.
