I understand why restaurants may want to switch to cage free eggs as a lot of their customers may think its more humane. What I would like to know is why they always give a ridiculous date to do so. In the last 6 months at least 10 restaurants have said they will do it.
Subway and Panera said they will do it by 2020
White Castle will do it by 2025
McDonalds by 2025
Dunkin Donuts by 2025
Starbucks by 2020
Einstein Brothers Bagels by 2020
Jack in the Box by 2025
TGIFridays by 2025
Qdoba by 2025
Dennys by 2026
Wendys by 2020
I cant figure any reason why it should take 5 to 10 years to call up your egg supplier and say we arent going to buy any more eggs from you and then call a cage free supplier and set up a contract. Why do they take so damn long. The same goes for restaurants pledging to use grass fed beef, or organic meats, etc..
