Commercially raised animals tend to be highly productive for short periods of time, which should not be mistaken with being healthy or having excellent husbandry provided. Lobby groups from both camps skew the data both ways, but there is solid data out there that illustrates issues such as drug resistant bacteria, pesticide load and effect, and chronic stress. I remember chronic stress in chickens was a topic filled with paid "research papers" from both AR groups and chicken producers. I had to really, reeeeaaallly dig to find less biased sources on that one.
Somewhere in-between pigs crying tears and food that is the best and safest in the world is the more factual reality. I haven't been impressed with what I've seen and tasted to the point where I made major life changes to be able to raise my own food.
Can't find anything about Bible quotes and commercial eggs, or evidence of a targeted marketing scheme on that. What are your sources on that Goldenruler? A typical marketing method though is use of images and words that paint a serene picture of lower intensity farming methods (ie. rolling meadows with free-roaming animals) when commercial methods are being used.
