There's a video making the Facebook rounds today that shows the "Ugly Truth" behind McDonald's egg supplier. I didn't watch it because I already know enough about the horrors that happen in commercial egg factories. (Yes, I called it a factory not a farm.) I found those videos years ago. They are what started the shifting paradigm I am living today.
Right now, 24 fat little meat-type chickens are sleeping happily in a 12x12 stall in the barn. They are resting up from a full day of romping and frolicking in their huge yard. Our eggs come from the laying hens that forage through that same yard though they sleep in the coop, not a stall. We get enough eggs to feed our family's egg habit, and what we don't eat we offer to friends and family. Eggland or whatever major dealer that pushes eggs in this area has not gotten a dime from me in two years. And sometime after the 7th of December, Tyson's is getting added to that 'not gettin a dime' list because there will be homegrown chicken in my freezer.
Yay Team!
I did notice that within hours of this video going viral, McDonalds said they had 'dropped' the supplier because of the video. Wow. Really? How stupid do they think we are? Do they expect us to believe that nobody from McDonalds ever went to the supplier to check it out? All this was NEWS to them? What a crock of poo.
Speaking of poo, I have to get up early to swamp out the meatie chicken's stall tomorrow. They poo something fierce.
