Don't Buy Eggs

98% of all eggs sold in the United States are laid by hens living in battery cages. Furthermore, the "free range" claim found on a small number of eggs is often misleading. Companies can label their products as "free range" even though their hens are confined in cages or crowded together inside sheds.

Eggs are bad for you. They are produced in filthy, diseased conditions by filthy, diseased chickens. It is a repulsive situation both in terms of health and ethics. The less healthy a hen is, the higher the chances that her eggs will contain harmful bacteria such as salmonella. While inside factory farms, we have seen fresh-laid eggs covered with blood and feces. Fortunately, there are many alternatives to eggs that are healthy and cholesterol-free.
