    They’re cage free/organic. Those are always more expensive.

      Do people in the US buy caged eggs?! In the UK free range is almost a ubiquitous minimum.

        The US is horrendously backwards on animal welfare.

      cage free is better than nothing, but if it were organic it would say so and not just cage free I suspect. I’m not even sure they’re free-range, maybe they’re just all in a barn with no access to outside fields?

      even if they were ecological, to me that seems expensive

      I don’t know what cage free means but I do know it’s marketing speak designed to tempt me away from free range. Not buying it.

        no, it’s an actual term. 1-1.5 sqr feet per hen in the egg-laying facility https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/HB20-1343

          So they’re free within their 1ft square… As i said, marketing bullshit designed to confuse. Fuck that shit.

      Yeah. Complaining about the cost of top shelf eggs is kinda disingenuous.
