Eggs, free range, or doesn't it matter?

[Lysander]

Looks like tomorrow we will be having lots of scrambled eggs in Flatland. But when you buy yours are you concerned with where they come from?

I always buy free range and I always get concerned for the "caged hens". Even if I have little money I always buy the free range ones.

Do you care which type you buy or are you indifferent?

I buy free range personally, though tbh unless you are getting them direct from the farm then free-range isn't what you think it should be as the regulations for an egg to called free-range still don't allow a lot of room per hen really.

This is what I was wondering. How much space do they have to fall under the free range criterion?

The minimum is 10 square meters per hen (I honestly thought it was less than this)

It's not a lot, but it's certainly better than being in a battery cage.
