You'd think if people were worried about the chicken's feelings they wouldn't feel good about stealing their future babies out from under the hens and eating them ;)

In my grocery store the "cage free" happy chicken eggs are $5 for a dozen and the regular unhappy chicken eggs are $2.50. For shits and grins I went crazy and spent the extra on the happy eggs a few weeks ago. They tasted exactly the same as the unhappy eggs.

I like organic chicken, but I'm pretty sure they're raised in cages too.

Having a grandfather with a cattle ranch I'm pretty much of the "they are raised for food" mind. Gordon Ramsay had some good shows on his F-Word series where he raised turkeys and pigs in his back yard for food to show his kids that the meat on their table didn't magically come from the grocery store.
