(I haven't eaten meat in 22 years) but you can buy local ''free range'' eggs here in special stores and also there are some local brands if you have a good look. I can't understand, however, how these companies are allowed to get away with charging ridiculous amounts of money for fake free range eggs - surely there should be more standards and checks. Plus, why on earth charge so much more? Is our society that cruel and uncaring that we want to make it impossible for many people to afford the more humane option and then those that can afford are still buying eggs that sometimes aren't hardly any different from Battery farmed products. I get that they want to make money, but what about the organisations that are meant to protect the consumer and the live product? They probably get paid off. It's just really wrong, I find it very upsetting. I watched a programme where a farmer rescued battery farmed hens. It was horrendous to see the state of them.

How much are organic, pasture-raised eggs in Dubai?? We all do what we can with what we've got, and sometimes we have to make exceptions. It's hard to make these decisions! Interesting.
