I know that they cost more, but surely it is worth the extra to know the bird has had a better standard of living.

expat, aren't you clever?! Don't care if it's cruelty-free or not? You're so cool. What a rebel.

Or a pepperoni pizza. Yeah! With jalepenos and a side of garlic bread.

Or chicken chow mein, Singapore style.

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:25

I'm pretty clever, yeah, Susie. Hungry, too.

Might go scramble an egg and see if there's any Bernard Matthews bacon in the freezer.

i could eat a kebab

I miss them

LaWeasel · 08/04/2011 23:26

You haven't won. The meat eaters have just gone to bed you muppets.

chocolatecoveredlissielou · 08/04/2011 23:26

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:26

A burger! The local chippy does a great burger.

Susiewho · 08/04/2011 23:27

Enjoy the coronary that will follow in a few years' time, expat!

Night night.

If you have enough disposable income for choosing free range eggs to be a no-brainer you are on seriously dodgy ground telling poorer people what eggs to purchase, IMO. Better to push for more humane egg producing systems.

oh a kebab

scottishmummy · 08/04/2011 23:28

is it in batter. i like a white pudding supper

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:28

Yes, because vegans are impervious to all disease (excepting mental ones, obviously).

chocolatecoveredlissielou · 08/04/2011 23:29

we had a tomato and cheese pasta bake tonight with salad. I feel dirty now.

expatinscotland · 08/04/2011 23:29

Yak to pudding suppers. Papa John's pepperoni and jalapeno with a side of garlic rolls.

LaWeasel · 08/04/2011 23:30

I'm really tired. But I'm fucked off to go to sleep.

How dare people tell me I can't feed my family eggs based on their own not very accurate it turns out knowledge of welfare standards.
