Vegetarian roommate bought these egg whites. They’re “certified humane” and cage free*. Time to pack it up people, the magical humane factory farms have been found! Eggs for everyone! (lemmy.vg)

That's nice I wonder what they humanely do with the male chicks

E.g. Demeter standards are pretty humane. Also abortion/egg murder is pretty humane.

I'm kinda curious where the * points to.

My guess:

Cage free doesn't mean free range. It means that while they aren't in cages so small that they can't stand up, they're still in a big overcrowded pen akin to a subway at rush hour.

My chickens are running around in my backyard eating dandelions, bugs, frogs, and mice when they can catch them. They're little dinosaurs.
