I decided to look online for some information regarding the "Organic Free Range Eggs" that Trader Joe's, my favorite store, sells. But are they really free-range eggs? Here's what they say about Trader Joe's eggs (definitely does not sound humane to me.) They also offer "Cage Free" eggs.

Bea sent me a link to an article in Gourmet called " Humane Slaughterhouses ," by Rebecca Marx, that is absurd. They believe you can take a life that doesn't want to be taken in a humane way, and I don't agree. It’s how we treat humans, too. But I'm getting ahead of myself. It's not an ostensible paradox; it's an actual paradox.
