Nowt weird about it. As I said, if you can fund it by eating said products, you should be able to watch it.

Sending it in PM though reminded me why said footage has stuck with me, it’s utterly disgusting and it’s part of every day life in egg farming. F*ck buying eggs in shops.

I just bought eggs from butcher's shop where all their animals (beef, sheep & chickens) come from their own farm, and spend literally their entire lives roaming the fields freely.

Fair enough. But surely you have to watch that understand why I can’t respect that choice and believe it’s not a case of “live and let live”? It goes beyond being a diet for me.

Just out of interest Callis, is it just vegan food you’re passionate about? (Not sure if passionate is the right word or not, apologies if not). But are you careful not to buy Nestle products or things with palm olive listed as part of the ingredients?

I think it was Paul McCartney who said if slaughterhouses had glass walls less people would feel comfortable eating animals.

A lot of this “organic free range” thing is a marketing ploy, and in fairness a good one as it has worked for years. Not saying it all is, but all these animals wind up on the same killing machine.

I saw a video last week of male chicks being conveyored into a blender. That’s what you support when you buy eggs in the shop regardless of where they came from.


I worked in a slaughterhouse for 5 years in my early 20s and thought nothing of sticking a 1000 piggies a day. Didn't put me off meat but not sure I could that job again.

Unless you breed your own chickens from eggs then there's not really a way to avoid the cruelty of the industry, as boy hatchlings are killed in the egg industry of course.

100%. I avoid Nestle and try and ensure I'm buying palm oil free stuff too.

PO is a big thing in vegan circles at the moment. As I think Eireblue said here once - Veganism is a path and a way of making a difference, not a final solution.

Like RKD, i'm not asking you to respect my choice.

Several comments on that video:

1) Clearly not nice to see but it was undeniably quick. Doesn't make it right but there would be lots of of worse ways to go.

2) According to the 'British Egg Information Service' that practice is no longer used in the UK. All male chicks are gassed, a method approved by the humane slaughter association. Especially interested in your repsonse to this one. Either you didn't know, you knew and didn't tell us or you don't think it's true.

3) Male chicks are used in feed for other animals so it isn't like they are killed and thrown in a skip.

4) It won't put me off eating eggs. I'll continue to buy organic, Clarence Court or Waitrose eggs.

1) Personally I think "thrown into a blender" would be low on my list of ways to go. But each to their own.

2) Is it no longer used in the UK? The "Humane Slaughter" (I mean, come on, is there a bigger oxymoron apart from McCarthy flowing Football) Association still has documentation on their site.

https://www.hsa.org.uk/chicks-less-than-72-hours-old-and-embryonated-eggs/chicks

I've never seen anything to my knowledge to suggest this has changed, so I'd imagine either something changed in the law that I've never seen publicised (likely if true), the egg industry is developing compassion (highly unlikely) or the BEIS is lying (likely if untrue).

3) This doesn't do a lot to make me feel better about it TBH. The waste of life for the sake of an animal byproduct we like to eat is what upsets me.

4) Fair enough, but honestly, unless you can 100% vouch for where your eggs came from you may be supporting this. Find someone locally where you can see the hens and by directly if possible.

It was a part I thought I'd deleted and reworded. Just edited.

Still, I'm leaning towards the 3rd scenario on this one.

I recently ordered 5KG of chicken from Musclefood after getting some assurances about the quality. As I was sorting it into portions I wondered why I bothered when I could just buy Quorn and enjoy it more anyway.
