52 Weeks to Make the World a Better Place: Week 20 - Buy free-range eggs rather than battery-farmed ones

The conditions under which battery-farmed hens are kept are worse than concentration camps. Virtually no room to move, nothing of interest, fed a 'diet' of chemically-'enhanced' rubbish... The result is moody and aggressive behaviour, deformity, short life-span and... crap eggs. You'll be doing yourself, as well as future generations of birds, a big favour by switching to free-range: a more naturalised lifestyle and normal diet mean happy birds and better-tasting eggs. Unless you're poverty-line material, the minimal extra financial cost shouldn't hurt.

Of course, better to give them a miss altogether, but that's another story.
