Living Conditions

In the United States, "organic" egg production means that the flock may not live in cages and must have access to the outdoors.

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or conditions:

    She found his manners very pleasing indeed.—The little flaw of
    having a Mistress now living with him at Ashdown Park, seems to
    be the only unpleasing circumstance about him.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    Mankind always sets itself only such tasks as it can solve; since, looking at the matter more closely, we will always find that the task itself arises only when the material conditions necessary for its solution already exist or are at least in the process of formation.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
