Enough to make me switch to free-range
Gross! I read an article today about one of the companies behind the egg recall. The description of the living conditions of the birds was nauseating! I thinking going vegan is a bit too extreme for me, but I might have to give free-range eggs a closer look for THIS reason, if not for the quality issues we discussed some months ago.

Try to find a good purveyor at a farmers market or local shop near you. I get mine from friends at the market. I love to hear stories about the chickens not laying any eggs when it gets too hot. There are people who take care of their chickens. Watch "Food Inc." and you will think about going vegan. BUT there's a farm called Polyface Farm -- his eggs go out all over the place. Read about how he rotates his animals. It's awesome. The owner is Joel Salatin and he's a hoot.
I read that New American Diet book at the beginning of summer and switched all of our eggs, dairy and meat, and some of the produce. It all makes me want to raise my own food so I have total control over the situation, but I'm pretty sure the HOA will say no to a dairy cow and chickens in my back yard.
