Cage-free eggs on the midterm ballot for Californians

That means most farmers who sell their produce in the state of California will either have to change their farming practices or lose one of the biggest markets in the country. The Association of California Egg Farmers and National Pork Producers Council both oppose the measure.

I will have the two eggs over easy with a side of ham.

Sir, that will be $173.42

Worse than Prop 65?

It costs about 15 cents more per dozen to produce cage free eggs.
You've got enough things to worry about like illegal immigrants, muslim terrorists, the debt, the deficit, illegal voting, etc. I just wanted to clean the fear of unaffordable eggs off your platter. pun intended

 

[HerdBuckeye]

Even McDonald’s already uses cage free eggs.

Cage-free eggs can cost as much as twice as regular eggs. Some worry that this measure will take away consumer choice, if it passes.

Yeah, they can, but that's because it's been a niche market. That changed some time back with several large companies including walmart and costco that are moving toward cage free. Since the production cost difference is about 15 cents for a dozen, then the price of cage free eggs will become competitive with conventional production.

Kind of sounds like coal vs other fuels like natural gas.

Cage free is not free range.

What is your source for this?

The bleeding hearts feel this is a more ethical manner for chickens to live.

I swear I heard liberals say why didn't they let the chickens and hogs go during the hurricane. Tree hugging brains of mush. PHD degrees and they were serious.

Maybe it is psychological, but I swear uncaged, got a chicken coop in the backyard type eggs taste better.

Veal cages are without a doubt inhumane. Kentucky banned veal cages...when a state as conservative as Kentucky agrees something is bad, you know for sure it is. Veal in and of itself is often fvcked up. If it isn't "free-raised" veal it is fvcked up. Delicious, but fvcked up.

Went to Italy one time and we were served dinner. Not where you order on your own. We were all eating away and somebody said, "man, these pork chops are good." Waiter, says, "Not pork, baby rabbit."

Damn near every for dropped except mine, "Bring me another Peroni"

If you all thought it looked like a pork chop, it wasn't rabbit. Seriously man.

In the article you posted neither alternative was a $0.15 cent differential. One was $0.24 and one was $0.12. You also understate the issue by not pointing out that the standard method cost is only $0.61, so either of those numbers is a significant percentage increase in the costs 20% to 40%.

You also didn't note that the actual mortality rate for the hens is higher with cage free eggs. What do you want to kill more chickens?

 

[extragreen]

In the article you posted neither alternative was a $0.15 cent differential.

Correct, one was $0.13 cents per dozen.

As for your percentages, those would actually matter if you eat 10 dozen eggs per day.

As for your mortality rate, would you rather live in prison or die free?

 

[sistersville]

Lol

 

[WV-FAN]

Lol

you laughing at the mentally deranged libs, too, sisters? i am. don't want the poor chickens to be caged.
