M...I don't have a problem with free-range eggs. My grandmother grew chickens for years on her farm. There is nothing better than home grown food of any sort; whether it's beef, poultry, pork, or vegetables. I don't care if free-range eggs are offered in stores. That's great. However, let consumers decide what they'd rather have. These products should not be forced on consumers. Products fed in 'confinement' are good; darn good. I take pride in the hard work that we put in to turn out a good product that people enjoy. And they DO enjoy it! I have no doubt that you can purchase local home-grown eggs cheaper than you can get them in a grocery store; however, if this becomes the ONLY method in which people can get their eggs, then it WILL become more costly to the consumer.-Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02642963455461187244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-2584691194519681722009-10-06T14:06:17.194-06:002009-10-06T14:06:17.194-06:00"And we get free-range eggs from our neighbor..."And we get free-range eggs from our neighbor lady for 33% less than crappy factory eggs at the store."<br />If you are fortunate enough to have a reliable supply of fresh eggs next door, kudos. But I'm sure that your situation represents the minority of egg consumers. Raising prices in groceries harms the majority of consumers who are unlucky enough to not have a kindly "neighbor lady" with a few hens.<br /><br />(And considering those eggs were probably plucked out of dirt or chicken excrement, they may not be as "safe" as you think.)<br /><br />Thank you, Troy, for telling the positive story of America's agriculture!Annie Spechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863062388969060467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-56144164995949351012009-10-06T11:28:27.723-06:002009-10-06T11:28:27.723-06:00And we get free-range eggs from our neighbor lady ...And we get free-range eggs from our neighbor lady for 33% less than crappy factory eggs at the store.
