They're cage free/organic. Those are always more expensive.
Do people in the US buy caged eggs?! In the UK free range is almost a ubiquitous minimum.
The US is horrendously backwards on animal welfare.
And human
And healthcare
And literary everything
cage free is better than nothing, but if it were organic it would say so and not just cage free I suspect. I'm not even sure they're free-range, maybe they're just all in a barn with no access to outside fields?
even if they were ecological, to me that seems expensive
Not organic, and cage free < free range < pasture raised
... < just not eating eggs
People eating caged eggs in 2025??
I don't know what cage free means but I do know it's marketing speak designed to tempt me away from free range. Not buying it.
no, it's an actual term. 1-1.5 sqr feet per hen in the egg-laying facility https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/HB20-1343
So they're free within their 1ft square.. As i said, marketing bullshit designed to confuse. Fuck that shit.
Yeah. Complaining about the cost of top shelf eggs is kinda disingenuous.
