Actually you can buy “free range” eggs for just a little more than the factory produced ones. They taste better.

Not in a double blind taste test they don’t. When neither the cook or the person eating the egg know which is which the person tasting the egg choose the free range egg about 50% of the time. In other words no better than a random guess.

When either the cook or the taster knows which is which the percentage goes up. indicating there is some confirmation bias going on.

if they were truly free range you’d increase your chance of catching West Nile fever thousands of times ~ so they’re not really free range ~ no one would buy the eggs or the chickens.
