[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One dozen egg was ~$3.50 at Safeway. Used to be 1/2. [/quote]

This is a pretty normal price for eggs?  The Harris Teeter by me carries one brand that is $8 a dozen!  Now that I won't do.  [/quote]

We get the super expensive eggs for animal welfare reasons. Our eggs actually haven't gone up in price - I guess inflation isn't yet affecting the bespoke, more humane farming industry (and hopefully won't).

Think about it this way: If you're now spending $4 for a dozen factory farmed eggs, why not spend just $4 more on the eggs produced by chickens who aren't tortured!

Basically because I don’t think it’s that different. I think the free range and the grass fed seem pretty marginal in terms of the overall experience. Unless they literally live in someone’s backyard, I think it’s marketing, and even then they have a pretty crappy life. I think the “humane” thing to do would be to not raise them. And also among animals, chickens are not my favorite.

So basically I don’t pay the extra $4 because I think it’s just $4 to absolve yourself emotionally but the actual differences are fairly meaningless. [/quote]

Some of these eggs taste a lot better, though..[/quote]
