Everyone should raise their own (for eggs) for 2 years before they can have a truly informed opinion...

There are certain realities... and many of them aren't pretty even under the best conditions.

The truth is (and this in NO WAY leans towards animal cruelty or lack of compassion) - they're one step up from dinosaurs. They're little bastards that will literally peck each other to death if permitted to - for no other reason than chicken social pecking order or they're bored that day...then break skin, cause bleeding and like sharks - they peck at the blood. They're little bastards...

Whatever bullshit they're selling in stores as "eggs" are bullshit... because they're not ANYTHING like you get from raising your own. Taste alone is a whole other world. When you see those fresh yolks stand up proud in the pan, with their deep orangy/yellow color, you KNOW you're getting something real.

It's not a mistake that eggs, a super food, are cucked out lame diet Coke version of what the Creator designed...

Let "the world" eat the bullshit eggs and you do you.

To "do it right" - meaning, humanely, with proper nutrition, space, protection, clean unfrozen water, year round is both more labor intensive and expensive than you'd think. You gotta either love chickens or eggs or both - because it's simply NOT economically feasible to do commercially, unless you want to spend $16-20+ a dozen.... and you need a lot of birds to really make it even worth doing. I've got 60 right now...(And they molt...or get old or it's dead of winter and nature isn't laying eggs because chicks could never survive...etc) Southern States are easier because of weather...

Like I said...you gotta really WANT your own eggs and understand why commercial does what it does. There are reasons... and it's not necessarily a conspiracy. Not everything can be neatly automated large scale for food production while simultaneously ticking the humane and affordable boxes...
