Damn it. I just ate Safeway "organic" eggs. Not that I expect verity from a Safeway brand, but one would at least hope they don't torture their chickens.
I didn't expect the Safeway "O" brand to be the highest quality organic, but I still had a certain amount of trust in the organic labeling. Supposedly a couple of O products have already been pulled for importing from who-knows-where and blindly slapping an organic label on it. When I've been too lazy to make the trek to new seasons (the nearest being 2 buses away rather than a short jaunt), I'd just grab safeway O milk, eggs, etc. But I suppose supporting local growers instead of corporate organics and knowing what I'm eating is more than enough to motivate me now.
