"Many stores have stopped selling battery cage eggs"
The Buffalo News
4/16/2006
The excellent April 9 News article about the inhumane conditions at Wegmans Egg Farm highlighted how much the company has to learn from the quickly changing food industry. Last year, the national grocery chains Wild Oats and Whole Foods stopped selling battery cage eggs like those from Wegmans. Trader Joe's, another national chain, changed its own brand of eggs to exclusively cage-free. These conscientious companies decided conventional egg production is simply too cruel to support. Battery cages are so confining hens cannot even spread their wings. Wegmans should join the trend and cut out these cruel cages.
