I've been thinking about this egg business, moving over to buy only bio-eggs, but in order to be consequent, I should also only be buying chickens that have been roaming free. They cost an arm and a leg, like 20 francs for one chicken!
I'm not willing to pay that price. This poses a bit of a dilemma. I want to be fair to the chicken, but then I gotta be fair to other animals too, like cows and sheep and stuff. And how am I to know how all these animals I eat yearly are having a good life while they live?
It's exhausting thinking about.

unfortunatley in our complicated world its so so hard to live ethical. but we do what we can, and I've got a good answer for you when it comes to the meat ;). but seriously, if you can afford to buy your own home in Zurich, then you can afford to pay a little more for a free range chook, right?
No, I'm not gonna turn into a vegetarian, I love my meat. And yes, I could afford to buy my home in ZH, therefore I watch my expenses now.
But seriously, I don't wanna splash out 20 francs on a chicken, unless I'm really sure it's from a "good home". Am I supposed to do research on every piece of meat I buy from here on?
yeah, like you said, its exhausting trying to be ethical. and I discovered when I went to Coop today they dont even have free-range version of chicken fillets, only for whole chickens or drumsticks. and the bio-eggs only come in 6 packs. and they're like a franc an egg. oh, life is hard!
And expensive!
