To make matters worse, I had to self-quarantine for 10 days after I got back because of the omicron variant of COVID-19. All told..

Humane Eggs Egg dishes are among the staple foods we often see on our tables. But when we do eat eggs, it's worth thinking about the farming conditions of the hens that lay them.
