Spread your wings: Cage-free eggs

Dawn Patrol is committed to serving cage-free eggs. 

 

In our research we discovered that earlier in April, the board of directors of McDonalds has recommended that the company’s shareholders vote against a proposal to require that 5 percent of the eggs purchased for the chain’s restaurants in the United States be the cage-free variety. 

     McDonald’s had committed itself to going 100 percent cage-free by the end of 2010 for all its European operations. (The European Union passed a law that bans conventional battery cages starting in 2012). 

     A spokeswoman for McDonald’s, Lisa McComb, attributed the disparity to the high consumer demand for cage-free eggs in Europe and a more robust cage-free egg production infrastructure there. So Dawn Patrol would like to add to the robustness of using cage-free eggs here. Spread your wings little birds, and pop out delicious eggs.
