Purdue proudly advertises that they sell cage-free chickens.
Just a brief google search suggests their claim is misleading and meant to falsely imply humane conditions.

I am so weary of deception.

1. When they crowd them in so that they can't even hardly turn around...
the presence or absence of a cage becomes irrelevant. Disgraceful.

2. Literally true, however,
so it's a winner as far as they're concerned.

Have I mentioned lately how sick I am of this kind of shit?

3. Cage-free isn't exactly free-range.
But, most people won't notice the difference, if indeed they care at all.
