For the last few years, I've based my egg- and dairy-buying on one thing only: that the products are coming from animals that are being treated humanely. But I keep reading that the labels can't always be trusted. Even farms that do treat their hens humanely aren't totally in the clear, through no fault of their own:

So what to do? Maybe the best way to end the suffering of egg-laying hens is to stop eating eggs. One company has come up with a faux, plant-based "egg," and its marketing is based on that premise:
