Organic Eggs? Not If the USDA and FDA Can Help It!

Are the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined to keep chickens penned up, and rob consumers of the right to real free-range organic eggs?

It would seem so. First, the USDA’s National Organics Program refuses to enforce standards set by the National Organic Standards Board requiring organic farmers to allow their hens outdoors. Responding to complaints that organic farmers were violating the standards, the NOP said they have more “urgent” matters to deal with.

Now, the FDA wants to make it nearly impossible for organic farmers to raise free-range hens. Despite weak scientific evidence, the FDA says it’s risky for organic farmers to let their hens come in contact with wild birds. So the FDA is proposing costly, redundant and onerous so-called "food safety" measures on organic farmers who let their hens outdoors.

The USDA and the FDA need to hear from us. Eggs from organic free-range hens raised outdoors are more nutritious than eggs from hens kept indoors and raised on exclusively on grain. Not to mention how much more the animals suffer from being penned up.

TAKE ACTION: Tell the USDA and FDA: Set Organic Chickens Free!

Oh how ridiculous.  I don't eat "tortured chicken eggs" from farms where the birds are held prisoner in small cages, can't even move and are doped up on growth hormones, antibiotics and God only knows what else the USDA has mandated.  Now they want to mandate all organic chickens have to be caged?  Bullsh*t!!  I'll be growing my own.  Good find Wolf.  Thanks for sharing!

Several european countries used the bird flu scare to make ludacris laws like these. Hit the organic farmers hard because of all the requirements and the stasi watching their every move waiting for them to make a mistake so they can be ticketed.
