Cage-Free Companies
The Gap as well as Australian McDonald’s and Woolworths lean toward cage-free options.
August 18, 2009
Thankfully, more and more people are thinking about the food on their plate and where it originates. This is evidenced by Gap, Inc.’s recent move to use cage-free eggs in its corporate cafeterias. The company made the decision after learning about the tiny battery cages on factory farms where egg-laying hens are kept. And while McDonald’s is using only free-range eggs in other countries, it has also decided to move toward cage-free eggs at its Australian chains. Woolworths, an Australian supermarket company, also recently confirmed that it will cut its cage eggs in half by 2010. Perhaps these changes will lead consumers to continue questioning the origins of different foods and rejecting factory farm methods.
