Even when times are hard I can’t possibly ever buy eggs from battery farms. If you’ve ever seen the Panorama Special when they went undercover you’ll know what I mean. Awful conditions. All very inhumane. The hens are worked around the clock. Minimal appreciation and zero love. The girls are, literally, worked to death. Oh, and the eggs are rubbish.
So I spend a few pence more and get ‘free range’ because these chucks have been allowed some leeway to stretch their legs, take in some fresh air and feel appreciated. The farmer loves them. Oh, and the eggs are great.
I can’t help thinking that ‘free range leadership’ might also be a good thing?
