Burger King Goes Cage Free

I ran across this interesting article today noting that Burger King is going to make a big change in its pork and egg sourcing policy.  By 2017 its hundreds of millions of eggs will be from cage free vendors and all of its pork will be crate-free.

Because of its purchasing power, Burger King is going to make a big difference in the supply chain of these major food sources.  Notably, it is the first major fast food vendor to make such a commitment.

No longer will cage free and crate free food be seen as something out of reach to the public and an elite form of foodyism.
