BATTERY HEN FARMING

BATTERY HEN FARMING


How many eggs do you eat in a week? Most people like free range eggs, but have you thought about the price? Free range eggs have twice as much fat in them as battery farmed eggs do. Battery hen farms creates a lot of jobs each year. I am here to tell you why I don’t think it is BAD to have battery hen farms!

Battery farmed eggs are a whole lot cheaper than free range eggs. According to the supermarket the cheapest battery farmed egg was 54 cents per 100grams, the cheapest free range egg was 75 cents per 100grams.The most expensive battery hen farmed eggs were 80 cents per 100grams but the free range eggs came in at $1.32 per 100grams. That is a lot cheaper. An average person eats 230 eggs in a year, so would you like to be paying a lot of money for a simple thing we have in our everyday diets?

Do you think about your weight often and love eggs? Well if you eat free range eggs they have way more fat in them compared to battery farm eggs. So if you are weight conscious and don’t have a lot of money try battery farmed eggs. True, people say that free range eggs taste better, but some people did a blind taste test and said that they tasted exactly the same.

There are a lot of battery hen farms around New Zealand in fact 140 farms. That provides a lot of jobs and makes money for the government, which in turn makes the economy stronger. People who work there go home with money in their pockets.

So do you still think battery hen farming is still bad? I don’t! Because the eggs are cheaper and don’t have nearly as much fat in them, as well as creating a lot of jobs in our country.
