Yeah.  Eggs is a real biggy.  I don't eat many eggs and the costs not that much different so I've no problem only eating free range.

Putting an industrial egg next to a free range one really shames the former. Pale yellow yolk doesn't really stand a chance against bright orange yolk.

Italy is a country that takes its food VERY seriously.
Italy also has a very ruthless mafia.  Yet, despite those two things, Olive Garden still exists.  Why, oh why?

Obviously they:

a) Have never heard about it.
b) Are the ones running it.  :ph34r:

Hell no.

There is no good evidence that consumption of organic food is beneficial to health in relation to nutrient content. Organic farming in general is a wasteful Western fetish that consumes more energy, water, and land than standard agriculture practices.

I just hope that the vegetables at the local grocery store aren't wilted before they even hit the shelves.  Fancy organic, free range products aren't exactly available north of 60. - unless you hunt it yourself.

Actually there is a lot less reason to do so then with feed lot beef.

Some of the best organic ranches are north of Prince George.  Not sure why you cant get the best organic beef.  Do they have to fly it in. :P

I'm not concerned about the welfare of the cow.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I would. I wish they had free range chickens in Polish supermarkets.

To be honest, I don't quite get the hostility/opposition to paying more for higher quality food. We pay more for better tvs or shoes, so surely stuff we put into our own bodies is more important than that?

Wouldn't they get in the way of the carts and make a horrible mess?
