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

Not organic, and cage free < free range < pasture raised

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

... < just not eating eggs

[–] dreugeworst@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

People eating caged eggs in 2025??

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah. Complaining about the cost of top shelf eggs is kinda disingenuous.

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

So they're free within their 1ft square.. As i said, marketing bullshit designed to confuse. Fuck that shit.
