Is that for free range? Not eating free range eggs in this day and age is totally immoral.

Utter dribble!
It's about greed, selfishness and an absolute lack of compassion for sentient creatures!!
It's an absolute embarrassment that in the 21st century buying caged eggs is still legal in a so called 'civilized' society !
btw it's IMMORAL not amoral, people buying caged eggs know fully well the pain and suffering involved, they simply don't care and are more concerned about saving a few pennies

Then don't eat eggs at all, they aren't a staple food or anything. If all my money could afford was an animal suffering horrendously, then I wouldn't eat that product. It is completely immoral.

No it's not - it's about your priorities. A few pence here or there isn't going to push your budget over the edge - you could economise elsewhere. Some people just don't give a damn about needless animal suffering, even if they've been told about it countless times.

What I want to know is when did they change the specification for the sizing of hen's eggs so that medium now equates to the size of quail eggs?

That would be the wide eyed large bottomed quail I assume. :confused:

Bargain. Some are decent size just depends but for this price it really doesn't matter.

Yeah, not really comparable, being that they are caged hens.

If you'd have bothered to check, you'd see that I've put this as an offline local deal.

Immoral surely. Amoral would mean you're indifferent with regards to morality.

It's a few pence on eggs but where do you draw the line? Presumably you have the same empathy for humans? How are the condition in the factory that produced the device you posted your comment from? How are the conditions in the factory that produced your clothing, your tea coffee, fruit. You get the idea.

All of you guys going on about " It's immoral " how do you know that the SO called eggs your actually buying are FREE RANGE?? there's no guarantee of that! & how about when you visit hotels ,cafes & burger vans? & when you buy cakes! Are they all free range? I don't think so!

Jesus. Where to even start.
To begin with, all farms are checked. Regularly. Especially those who make claims like 'free range'. Do we know 100% for sure, for definite, no shadow of a doubt. Maybe not, but do we care enough to at least try? Yup.
And yeah, if somewhere doesn't advertise free range eggs, I don't eat their food. It's not that complicated. People like to advertise the fact. Hellmans are free range for instance, so I buy their Mayo. Heinz aren't, so I avoid them. Wetherspoons eggs are , surprisingly enough, free range (not that I spend much time there, so that's great too). And yes, even in cakes, I look at the label. Much as I look for Palm oil, processed sugars and lots of other things, for a combination of reasons, mostly my own ethical code, and a nod towards not putting garbage in my body. (And eggs from a burger van? You're a savage).
If you don't care about animals suffering in a civilised society, I suspect I'm not going to be able to change your outlook, but with this post, we need to at least compare like for like. These eggs are free range. There will be cheaper battery eggs elsewhere, but that is not a fair comparison.
(Also, apologies for the amoral/immoral mistake, and I'm glad to see so many chiming in on the free range issue, you're lovely people).

What about farmer who has had to keep 6 chickens, feed, water, bedding, care for 49p per day. We shouldn't let Tesco drive down price of eggs.

I would agree that free range eggs should be bought as the chickens have a better life, however, in practical terms it is cheaper to buy eggs from caged hens at Lidl at 80p for 10. I will only buy free range if there are no cheaper options until such a time as free range is all that is sold.

So basically you are saying 20-30p is more important to you then the horrific suffering and pain of chickens!!
Wow, what a beautiful and compassionate human you are!!
I see you have a lovely pic of a cat in your avatar, do you own a cat? How would you feel if someone tortured a cat?

Almost 600 degrees now suggests, for what the OP admits was offline local deal, but obviously didn't want it clearly spelt out in their deal description, suggests most people probably don't care. :disappointed:
