Chickens and eggs

martinb said:
because chickens didn't evolve eating exclusively grain, its the same reason grass fed beef has a fat profile closer to wild salmon than grain fed beef

i dont see the point imo.
also, what exactly does free range mean? ive heard somethig along the line of the "animal has to have """access""" to free range facilities". if they are able to use it or not is another matter.

An eggs an egg. Would be nice to have some chickens in the garden for free fresh eggs but the missus would never go for it.

I really am not into this 'local' produce bo***cks I couldn't care less if my steak is flown all the way around the world to get to my plate, or if the cow is killed in an inhumane way or whatever, f**k it steaks steak and eggs are eggs.

again, you will care when you are 50
I couldn't give a s**t about animal welfare.
But the fact is, animals fed what they evolved to eat, which for cows is grass, make for far healthier meat! Chickens kept in cages that never see the light of day, produce poor quality eggs, and down the other route poor meat.
You are what you eat has eaten!

Load of s**te, if you were a 'Free range human' living wild you would almost never eat red meat and your not evolved to eat it properly or things like pasta or, rice your diet would consist of nuts, fruit and fish.
You can't pick one aspect of the utopia diet and claim people will see the benefit in 50 years - show me a conclusive study that has proven this beyond doubt?!?
Total nanny culture nonsense!
