Popcorn Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Will be good to know BB. I have real problems finding icecream that doesn't use battery eggs. This info isn't easy to come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacedhopper Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Will be good to know BB. I have real problems finding icecream that doesn't use battery eggs. This info isn't easy to come across. A lot of free range chickens are not kept in much better conditions than battery chickens. Still kept in too cramped conditions, and debeaked. Best go for dairy free ice cream, look on the vegan sites, they tell you where best to buy it from (obviously not mail order ). Also whole issue on dairy farming, but i wont go down that road.

Martin B Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I didn't even know they used eggs in ice cream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I eat Green and Blacks or my dad's home made (using our eggs ) The other option is to go for sorbet (dad's gin and tonic sorbet is YUMMY!!) It will be interesting to hear the result of your research Buffy, Good point about the free range chooks spacedhopper - is there a way of finding out about ethical free range - go for organic as well or another way?

If you look on Viva! or Animal Aid im sure you will find ethical stuff on there, if not you will find a good link. Plus its a good read too. X Jay.

Popcorn Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks SHopper. I'm willing to try anything to help a worthy cause. I know free-range doesn't always mean conditions are better for many animals. One of my work colleagues has an aunty who runs a free range chicken farm in Hampshire. She says the freerange barn is too small for the amount of birds they have, and becasue they keep all the food and water inside, it's rare that any of the birds actually go outside.

buffie Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Right have 1 result. Ben and Jerry's in the UK and Europe is now Free Range, they demanded free range eggs so this is fantastic, this will feature along with others in the July newsletter. Their US ice cream is not free range though. Just to say that to change farming it's important to support free range production and it is considerably better than battery, really, but organic free range is ideal.

Popcorn Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 That is the best news I've heard all day Buffie. I was gutted when I found out they used Battery eggs. We're going shopping tonight..I can add some to my list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
