Most people who eat eggs want to believe that the hens who hatch them live in cushy barns and spend most of their days frolicking through a bucolic landscape. That vision is far from reality. Egg-laying hens spend their entire lives in massive ammonia-choked barns that each hold 100,000 or more other hens. Most are confined in tiny cages with several other birds where they can barely move. After a couple of years, they are totally spent and barely able to move. Bird flu, salmonella and other diseases run rampant through the barns.
There are great plant-based substitutes for eggs. Please consider switching to one of those.
