We hear a lot of different descriptions of egg production - cage free, enriched housing, free run, free range - but what does it all mean? How should we be making choices? It seems as though the industry is struggling with it as well as the Retail Council of Canada just rescinded a cage free commitment to move into alignment with the national codes of practice on laying hen housing. In this episode Mike talks to Dr. Tina Widowski to get a better understanding of what is actually going on.
