Reply to comment by MikeLinPA in The agricultural research organization – Volcani Institute, is the first in the world to breed hens that lay eggs of female-only chicks, this achievement can spare the killing of billions of chicks around the world by winhumone

It's not 'a sad reality.' It's all man-made. Resources more expensive leading to a more expensive product? Subsidise it. Make it cheaper than meat chicken.

I saw the issue, as would anyone, to begin with, and quite frankly you're beginning to sound patronising.

The 'sad reality' right now is that the majority of people in power value profit over ethics/life. Replace them with people who value lessened cruelty over profit and this would be very easily solved. Why the people in power value money over not grinding up baby chickens is another issue entierly.

The people in power are only part of the equation. Consumers mostly don't care where their food comes from. They care that it is affordable.

My family owned a butcher shop. 50 years ago nearly everyone knew exactly how their food was raised and accepted it. Now most people do not know where their food comes from because they don't want to know. Greedy people in power are there by giving consumers what they want. The company that does it your way goes out of business. Nobody is going to buy the scrawny chickens at higher cost than the meaty ones. It ain't gonna happen.

Hence, why further up this thread I state that we need to change as a society.

Also, I already replied to the problem of higher cost.
