The Price of Eggs

Germany is the first country to stop grinding up male chicks as part of the egg-laying industry.
I have always believed that shoppers should understand the other price of the eggs they buy, beyond the money they hand over to the supermarket. The ground up chicks, the life of misery of laying hens, even free-range hens, and the trip to the slaughterhouse for hens that can no longer lay hundreds of eggs per year - that's the cost of eggs.
