Burger King Says All Eggs and Pork Will Come From Cage-Free Chickens and Pigs by 2017: Should Other Restaurants Follow Suit?

None of us have disposable income according to studies. I have several family members, as well as family friends, who have privatized egg farming. I assure you, that regardless if they get to run around a few years or not, at every egg farm, they lay eggs in a box/cage of sorts. Also, sooner or later, we always eat them. Don't forget that, we're still gonna pluck em', and bread em, and fry em' up. I hunt birds as well, so maybe I just don't get sensitive about these things. I feel like we should be worrying about us before we worry about chicken fries a BK. It doesn't taste more free if it came off a small farm, and realistically, you would never meet the demand for these animals if you went all small farm across the board. And no one says anything about fishing commercially, which is proven to ha e caused many near extinctions of several herri g and other edible fish varieties, yet the chicken and cow always get people's hearts a'bleedn'. This stuff is lobbied for, you can boycott all you want, it has not, and will not change anything. BK needed the press, so they will pull a stunt like this to male a name for their chain again. Sorry so long, just can't stand how people care about this stuff so much, but probably never write their congressman to voice out a tighter restriction on welfare fraud or how fixing the roads is of dire importance t o you, or how physical education cannot be dropped from the school curriculum as it may be the only exercise our children get. Really? Worry about some animals huh? Reform is a process, you must fix the big stuff before every other non human life threatening problem should be addresed, we keep trying to make 2 sandwiches with one packet of mustard, we just don't have it right now.

I agree, it is WAY more expensive for organic and cage free stuff. In a nation where welfare puts most of the groceries on our tables, what are people thinking with worrying aboit this bologne. It's not like they pull a seat up and watch all the "torture"take place. Belive me, the animal doesn't see it that way, we have to prove this point for libbies often, we take any chicken of their hoosing, take it out of the feed/laying cage and what does it do? It walks right back up to it and pecks at the door till it gets back into it's all you can eat egg layer buffet. We still have a large area that they can run around in, and they still never stray far from the laying area, are we forgetting, most birds are not intelligent, and the chicken is among the dumbest. Pigs are even easier to spoil. Also lazy and stupid, so my biggest question is, if they don't try to get away, and they in fact try to contiue their torture, how is this bad? Humanizing anything can make it seem bad, but that isn't always the case. I will say I worked for Tyson Chicken Co. in Missouri, and the employees where constantly getting fired for mistreating the animals. Not that I will defend some of that companies practices, but they do care about their product, at least. And my point is, without big livestock/chicken/egg commercial farming, we would be pouring double the cash down the toilet for welfare abusing losers to eat like people who want to waste money on meaningless humanizing terms like cage-free and all-organic. It's a shame.... misevaluated care importance can lead to mass misappropriation of media and funds to otherwise a leisurely topic at best.
