An unusual protest conducted in the Brisbane Square today. A number of students highlighted the plight of battery hens by undertaking to be caged in a like manner. It was interesting that earlier in the week; the evening news reported definitional loopholes that result in more “organic” eggs being packaged and sold than growers are actually producing. Naturally the Australian Egg Corporation denies widespread egg substitution is occurring. (Not eggsactly good publicity).It does make you wonder as a consumer though about the legitimacy of egg marketing generally. Are those eggs really from happy go-lucky free range or barn reared chooks?
