Battery farm eggs to be banned by 2012.

It's about time this legislation is coming into force! I'm wondering why now? Those of us who care about the welfare of chickens & our own health too, have been gunning for this for many years. I have only eaten free range eggs for as long as I can remember.

The farmers are whingeing about the cost of doing this, but I buy 6 free range eggs in my local small corner shop for 89p - locally farmed - and they're delicious... they're the first to disappear off the shelf while the others remain! They're only expensive in the supermarkets because these put a huge profit margin on them, and I suspect they do this for all organic food too!

I am with you both all the way on this. I cannot remember the last time I had a battery egg, but can remember that it tasted nothing like the free-range ones.

Anyway, ethically battery eggs are disgusting, and I would rather go egg-less than eat one.
