[@TheRealJamesKirk]

Truly. I'm willing to forgo spending money on ephemeral things (entertainment, for instance) to help support artisans like him who produce for his community and not for his bank account. It's not always possible, but I try to buy things like hand-made clothing, soap, candles, bowls and dishes, and organic foods. I also try to buy fruits and vegetables that are locally grown and seasonal. Globalism is a Capitalist abomination. Peace, Sister!

Thanks for caring! This video doesn't talk about how the males are treated. They are ground up alive because they are a 'waste product'. This is why many people don't consider any eggs to be ethical. I hope you will consider looking into some plant based egg replacements for scrambling and baking. There are many options. Also , you can also get adequate nutrition and be healthier (lower risk for certain common diseases) on a plant based diet! James Aspey on youtube is a good source for more info. I started out buying what I thought were ethical eggs and just switched to plant based the year. Thanks again for showing compassion :)

For scrambling/omelets: followyourheart.com/buyveganegg/ For baking, here's a chart showing different basic ingredients that work as egg substitutes (although sometimes it's easiest to just Google a vegan recipe): pm1.narvii.com/6235/dbc9af14ff4ee5ece693947c97ff3397d1c06b81_hq.jpg‎ A different but tasty alternative to eating eggs & toast is mashed avocado on toast, sprinkled with salt.

Please note, no one has commented regarding their own chickens. I had the privilege as a youngster to eat eggs from the hen house. They are brown, have a much thicker shell and in my case, had much darker yolks. They were smaller but in my opinion had a stronger flavor than store bought eggs. Hope this was informative and useful.

[@brajeshsingh2391]

that is a great point. the eggs from natural chicken like the naturally grown without any commercial objective have the best taste and flavor. The flavor the taste from natural, free growing food is always gong to be better from something that is commercially grown and cultivated. Doesn't matter if its organic or nonorganic. Free range or uncaged or farm grown. I think the sheer process and objective of growing more instead of growing naturally interferes with the taste. Now I do not know about nutrition because CDC reported that there is no difference in nutrition but the organic ones cost at least 3-4 times more than conventional ones and for a family as the lady said that's a big deal.

Basically, the "enriched" chickens are just in a bigger cage jammed in with the same amount of chickens just over a bigger space. Because there are more, they are going to peck more as they are still jammed in together. Ever heard of "the pecking order"? This is what chicken social interaction is about. If they are still jammed in together they are going to attack eachother. When allowed to free range they have much more space to be away from the meaner chooks. Just sayin.

Each hen had her own name, and knew as well as I where to go to lay her eggs, and loved exactly what she could find to eat outside of the chicken feeder! Me, I didn't always like the thought of what she was eating, and always made sure they were locked up every night to "try" to keep them safe. But it was always a comfortable mix of free range and a coop. The only time we used cages was a crate to bring them home(mandated by law.)

[@AlyBabnva]

@@supercooled dumbass if the eggs aren't fertilized it's basically cruelty free ( if it comes from a good farm of course ) cause it can't become a baby chicken

[@supercooled]

JUST A SISTER look at you trying to justify your carnal urges. That’s ok I’m a carnivore as well hit at least I don’t make up fairy tales just so I can sleep at night with a clear conscience. You’re even worst than a hypocrite. .

[@AlyBabnva]

@@supercooled it's not a fairy tail, an egg can't hatch if it hadn't been fertilized its literally impossible. It's like saying a virgin can become pregnant. Have you learned your biology? Edit: So if you buy eggs from a good farm and they had only girls there the eggs can not be fertililized, but they still lay eggs ( it's their form of having a period, you can still have periods even if you're not pregnant ) so not eating them would be a big waste of food and hard work for what? The egg would just rot away..

[@rmason5477]

Marty cares about the welfare, giving hens what all hens should enjoy, love his passion

[@rmason5477]

He sure does, 💯👍🥰

[@FerintoshFarmsPhotography]

Every animal should get a chance to splay out under the sun, once you see them do that once and just how happy they're it really changes your perspective. My hens will break the door open if I'm too late in the morning to let themselves out. I'm still a small op of like 50 birds, but it is a lot of work everyday it really improved my health since even on a lazy day i put on around 6000 steps.

[@JKFitz]

I LOVE THAT the guy from Organic Meadows got emotional !!! I will choose that brand if I see them in the grocery store for sure !!

[@MirandaMilner]

That organic farmer is so pure hearted. You could see how genuinely happy he was to know that his work was making a difference for the chickens and the eggs. His passion was beautiful.

[@rdvqc]

At the grocery store, I mostly look for the freshest as best I can gauge by best before dates and such. When we can we buy from known farms that have free run eggs - especially in the summer. The difference is amazing. We wander in our motorhome several months a year and have our favorite egg stops - especially in ON, NB and NS.

[@luvzouk4life7]

Aww hard work always pays off.

[@A.G445]

Great job as always, real journalism. Bravo

[@FinlayDaG33k]

the chickens in the conventional battery look a lot healthier than those in the "enriched" environment tho... Now I would just go out to the store and buy the cheapest eggs... but that guy at 16:58 man, those tears are real... respect for that guy!

[@sktrudel]

It's just because you can't see the bums of the ones in the battery because they're so packed.

[@FinlayDaG33k]

I saw some of them, and they looked better imo...

[@joannan5718]

Oh I miss the days when I was little and spend my summer at my grandmother. She had the chickens, ducks, rabbits. They were running around the house, not the rabbits, they were in open enclosure. She had fresh eggs every morning. They were delicious. And this beautiful garden with everything she needed. Some trees like apples, pears, cherry. Her neighbors had cows so she had milk from them. It wasn't processed so next day went sour but good to patatoes with dill, butter and eggs. Delicious. It resemble to the buttermilk. The food was delicious those days. Even simple bread with butter was divine. Butter had this lightly taste of almonds, delicatly sweet. Good times good times.

[@indian2003]

I used to buy eggs from the shop until I went by an egg farm. Since then I have been buying eggs directly from a farm where the hens walk free and fed on grains and leftover food. These cost twice as much but worth it when I know that the hens live a good and natural life.

[@goodvibezinChrist]

Yes I live in Florida and just got awoken to do the same! I'm in the FL but I need to research a farm near me because I want everything farm raised

[@jaelynn7575]

15:14 That hen looking at the camera is hilarious. I wish I could have my own in the backyard.

[@Mhel2023]

LMAOOO 😂🐓😂

[@pamelawannamaker242]

I've always had digestive disorder when buying eggs from the grocery store big brands so now I purchase directly from the farmer free run and don't have that problem as a result. Tastier, fluffier, larger, and I believe better for my health

[@isaxo]

Same! My body can tell the difference right away if I am eating a stressed chicken's egg. For a huge portion of my life I avoided eating eggs altogether because I thought I was allergic to them. I would get violent stomach cramping about 20-30 min after eating eggs anytime I'd eat anywhere so I just stopped eating them for years. Fast forward to a couple years ago I decided to do my own test to see if my body could tell and I bought some cage-free and free range eggs to try. I ate them and digested them with no problem so I thought I was cured of my egg allergy and could eat them again. Boy was I wrong! I started eating them again whenever we would go out for breakfast and every time...stomach issues. The only time I can eat eggs with no problems is if they are cage-free or pasture raised. My body can definitely tell and I thank farmers for having the option of raising chicken in better conditions producing eggs with more nutrition that are obviously easier to break down in my body.

[@kabhishek707]

A hen would never be happy if you gonna pick it's egg😂😂😂😂

[@Taffy84]

Cadbury Cream Eggs are the best.

[@robertw2930]

inv ert sugar , egg whites and yellow dye yummy inside moochoclate

[@terrietackett8964]

Oh yeah!!

[@honestlyme4247]

lol

[@graciamaria9218]

Best comment! 🤣

[@m...6119]

I was under the impression that the Cadbury eggs came from Easter bunnies. :-O

[@vapeking466]

Here in the US we have standard, free range, cage free, organic, and pasture raised. Most folks have no idea the difference in them. I unstand pasture raised to be best but hard to find. Organic 2nd best easier to find as expensive as pasture raised. 3rd best free range. 4th best cage free. 5th standard. I have read 3rd 4th and 5th are really all about the same and that organic and pasture raised are the only premium eggs that treat animals more humanly.

[@EarlHare]

"it makes me think of sunshine" im out

[@Gasamom]

Marty is my man with the happy hen eggs I love

[@jeanhargis7333]

Love owner of Organic Meadow! Someone who cares about the comfort of animals. I would pay more if I could find them in the markets.

[@toomanyhungrycats0554]

The key sign of any bird's mood are their feathers, bald spots and soiled feathers mean an unhappy stressed bird. Research your brands, im planning to go free ranged.

[@demonkitti27]

It was really sweet to watch Marty react to hearing his eggs were the most nutritious. It was like seeing him hold back the validation for his life's work.

[@ksmithkatcarving]

singing in a dark cage ? chickens like dark quiet to lay eggs but when done head for the light

[@11susu11]

it's sad to know that we will only treat animals decently if they can bring us something profitable

[@MrGrunt-dw7lg]

Yeah sounds about right.

[@thehALomolov2]

United Euro Travel otherwise would we take the time to protect them and keep them around, how many chickens do you think there would be if we never saw a need to domesticate them and instead exterminated them as pests for eating our crops.

[@seraphiccandy21]

Well yeah, thats how we survive. If I put work into something I want a return on my effort.

[@GRiMHOLDx]

Thats Capitalism... The playground created for the Psychopathic mindset... Exploit and consume. A enriched environment for Sociopaths and psychopaths to suceed... Empathy is epi-genetically removed for human beings in this system.

[@lanam5883]

United Euro Travel well ya, why wouldn't we. We basically can control a lot of our planet, so if something is useless to us there is no reason to keep it or change it fit our needs. Dogs have been bread to look cute because we like cute things yet they have freaky genetic disorders because of us. I'm just looking at this from a practical stance

[@heenanyou]

Way to go, Marty of Organic Meadow! You are a hero to me.

[@thehighersociety7338]

I raise my own hens, free range and happy, my eggs are the best. Dessert and breakfast and dinner never tasted so good, quality really does matter folks

[@livinggood7522]

I literally cried even before the owner of the farm. It means EVERYTHING to know its farmers out there that CARE so much. My workout motivation!

[@nosmoke247]

Much love to the 100% organic farming families. Without you, we'd have zero nutrition. God protect all you hold dear. May Yeshua bless you all.

[@nosmoke247]

@. hey serpent we tread liars like you.... Slither on prince worshipper.

[@nosmoke247]

@. you are so sheeple programmed you don't know the difference between gmo lab grown poison vs natural produce... I can only pray you open your eyes to truth and stop regurgitating your ignorance.💯

[@AcousticGString]

I had a cat named "Eggs" growing up. It used to fart a lot and smelled of rotten eggs when it did it. I felt like mentioning this because the topic is eggs....:)

[@northflower423]

Damn man that guy was proud of his business!

[@iCarilloninChrist]

God bless the organic farmer for his compassion !!

[@patshhi4620]

I wonder if Dan has really been able to convince himself that those hens are happy? Dan, proportionally, would you be happy in a room that big, 24 hours a day, for the rest of your laying days?

[@PamH1955]

It is really easy and fun to have a few backyard chickens. We had them on a very small lot. The eggs ARE different!

[@FukaiKokoro]

The thing about factory farns and the mass production of food is ITS NOT going to work for much longer according to the UN. At some point we as a world need to give up factory farms for the whycommunity partnership within each community as thats the only way to sustain so many people in a growing population!

[@hengineer]

Huh? The UN is doing a major disservice to the entire underdeveloped world, then. So many people are starving worldwide because of the high cost of many foods. Factory style farming drops prices dramatically to the point where food becomes easier for poorer people to afford.

[@shawn_in_toronto]

Wow, that farmer was so proud he was in tears.

[@tony2063]

The best eggs are the ones that my chickens lay

[@sirdelavito2510]

Same here!!!! Except that I don't have chickens....

[@Le_Furret]

Anthony Owens but do you keep it in a box?

[@joaquimrodriguez8961]

lol

[@Lady_Jay42]

Can't wait to have a home of my own so I can have my very own chickens!

[@daluckygit8019]

EliteFurret we do right now but we have a bit of land with chest high grass were gonna cut it build a pen

[@ibrahimnabith4371]
