I remember channel surfing a couple decades ago and landing on this documentary type show about eggs. I believe it was pre-"battery" cages, but they did keep them in cages without enough room to move. That turned me into a vegetarian. A little awareness can often make a difference.

Those of us in California who supported Prop 2 believe it is torture to cram hens into grim wire cages with six or more other birds, leaving each hen less room than a sheet of letter-sized paper on which to live. That’s not even enough room to spread a single wing. Such confinement is cruel to animals and it jeopardizes human health. While this won't end all cruelty, Prop 2 is a big step in the right direction.
