Having the opinion that animals should be treated humanely is hardly "imposing your beliefs on others."

Straw man argument.

Pay for your animal rights crap but don’t force it on everyone else!!

Right on. Why is it the only good old fashioned Conservative common sense left on this forum seems to be from the class of '98?

Vegetables are what food eats. The way I see it, I eat my veggies after they’ve been processed by a food machine.

We do need to be nice to the food machines.

Putting that opinion into law IS imposing your beliefs on others.

Nothing but cage free organic for me. I can afford it and prefer the taste, color and avoidance of synthetic compounds.

I also believe we have a moral duty to ensure animals are not abused.

But if it were an issue of whether somebody would literally starve if hens were not cooped up in egg factories, I would reconsider my position.

I don't think that's the case here.

And CA is not forcing a Missouri farmer to conform to CA rules. That farmer is free to sell his eggs in any other state, all of which have rules too.

I know a lot of people disagree, I just wanted to state my opinion. I'll not get into an argument.

I agree, there has to be some consideration for the animal’s living conditions.

[Cyber Liberty]

It’s because we give a damn, and have for >15 years. In my case, it’s because I’m still silly, even after all these years.....

[fortheDeclaration]

And you don’t torture your food either.

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

Any good recipes for road kill?

Your post was #13 -- which makes me wonder just what in the hell is becoming of good old fashioned logic and reasoning on this forum.

Read some of the other nonsense. Idiots who have no idea how to feed a country, let alone the world.

Maybe it's just a weekend thing.

“We do need to be nice to the food machines.”

The food machines that process my vegetables are powered by gas or electricity and don't poop in the processing area!

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, it is sad when even Conservatives talk like idiots.

This all leads back to the progressive destruction of the family (ie the family farm/ homestead)

Americans used to produce their own. If more Americans got back to that then this wouldn’t be a problem.

+1. I’m okay with it.

Eggs, Milk, 2 rashers and a piece of toast, Apple and 1/2 a sandwich, 4 oz lean meat, green leafy vegetable.

$9 for a healthy food day. X 4 makes it $36 per day for a family of 4. $252 a week for rouglhy $1000 per month for a family of 4. Working with a tight budget and trying to maintain healthy eating.

with a %20 increase in eggs ... increases the monthly expense by $67.

“That sow is ready to be bread.”

Or even bred.

[usconservative]

Ha, good to see you.

As someone who actually LIVED on a farm and knows what "go out back and get a chicken for dinner" actually meant, I'd bet no one else on this thread would have the guts to truly "make their own dinner" from killing it, gutting and cleaning it and getting it ready for the frying pan.

They'll probably call me an animal abuser for this post, the gutless sissies.

[fortheDeclaration]

No one is forcing you to eat eggs.

[usconservative]

And no one’s forcing you to post nonsense, yet here you are.

[Beagle8U]

Bump Ah dee Bump Bump!

[taterjay]

Oh boy. Koster is a Democrat gunning for governor one of these days in an agriculture state. That gives him points. Secondly, for conservatives the issue IS commerce at this point. Missouri may one day require a different way of producing eggs but not today. So, no, hostile California should not dictate how we should produce product.
