I didn't eat any eggs for several years. But then I moved close to a farm that has twenty or so free-range Hens. Comparably, I have a much lower CO2 & CH4 footprint than the average British consumer & a far lower footprint than the 1% uber-rich (e.g., I don't fly. I use my bicycle when I can, busses, train and have been living a 100% - 98% vegan lifestyle for about twenty years), I thought frig it, a few free-range eggs now and again is fine (all things considered)
